Perhaps it’s all of the above. Whatever your situation may be, all of these are good reasons to spend some time learning how God has designed you. There are lots of ways to do that.
Self-Assessments
Assessments are valuable tools for helping you gain clarity and greater awareness of our skills, values, personality, strengths, interests, work styles, etc. Here are some assessments you can take at the Center for Career and Calling. Remember that no assessment can completely define you. There’s more to you than what the results provide. But they can be a great place to start and helpful to affirm and/or reveal more of how God has made you.
