I Corinthians 13:4-7

Circle one answer for each question. The answers are:
Yes / No / Most times / Sometimes.

This is not a standard test that will give you points to see where you stand or show you your progress on a scale. This quiz is not meant to compare you with someone else. The following Q & A is meant for each person to reflect and evaluate themselves without a score.

The “Yes” and “No” answers don’t mean that you “always do” or “never do” what the questions are asking. (We understand human nature and it is almost impossible to always do or never do something.) If you circle a Y or N answer, it basically means it is or is not your practice.

You may find yourself struggling with answering
the following questions, but BE TRUTHFUL. The
author of this article has taken the quiz and found some
things that were hard to answer, as well. So…here goes:
