Okay, I am going for the 100...  I will just blurb this out then,,,,   You are an INFJ?  So far I have only read two of your posts, so be kind...

I like what you have to say about these gifts inventories/surveys.  We did one of these early on in our church plant to evaluate where our deficiencies as a team were and realized that we had quite a few.  Namely, we were all teachers of some sort.

But, we didn't take them too seriously, we just kind of filled in in areas that we lacked by taking turns at the stuff that didn't come natural to us.  I think you are right about the making excuses part as well.  

Being someone for instance who prefers the informal to the formal, I tend to not end meetings on time and I tend to not really care about the time, which really bugs others who are more formal, not to mention those that actually have a life.  I do however have much more patience for them, knowing that they are more formal when they say "okay, let's get to the prayer time, we are going to run over here."

By the way, I began praying as an 11 year old child NOT to have the "gift" of celibacy.  Thank God I do not have this gift...  j/k  :)
