Whats your role on the team? pt.3

Perspectives...
A. How different gifts respond to a situation (I stole this from Prof. Mick Boersma, I thought it definitely showed me atleast what my gifts definitely are not =P)

Situation: A person is hospitalized and is visited by another believer. Depending on the giftedness of that visitor, the following might be their response to the patient:

Server- "Don't worry, everything at home is being taken care of' After which a practical gift is shared (new magazine... etc)
Exhorter- " How can we use what you are learning here to help others"
Teacher- "I did some research on your illness and..."
Giver- "How are we going to pay your bills? Can I help?"
Merciful- "How do you feel? Are you going to be alright?"
Administrator- "I've assigned your job to two others. Work is getting done."

B. What motivates people with different gifts....

Situation: At the dinner table, Susie spills her dessert. The motivational factors unique to each gift come out in how others respond.

Server- "Oh let me help you clean it up." (Motivation is to fulfill a need)
Exhorter- "Next time, lets serve the dessert with the meal.' (Motivation is to utilize for the future)
Teacher- "The reason that fell was because the dish was set too near..." (Motivation is to discover why it happened)
Giver- "I'll be happy to buy you a new dessert" (Motivation is to give to tangible need)
Merciful- "Don't feel bad, it could happen to anyone." (Motivation is to relieve embarassment)
Administrator- "Jim, would you get the mop? Sue, please help pick it up and Mary help me fix another dessert" (Motivation is to achieve the immediate goal of the group.)

Obviously this doesnt represent all the gifts nor is concrete. But I found it interesting =P

Think about how you think.
