The Assessment
The Working Genius Assessment is a practical tool designed to help individuals identify their innate abilities and preferences in work and team dynamics. Developed by Patrick Lencioni, the model categorizes six “types of working genius”—Wonder, Invention, Discernment, Galvanizing, Enablement, and Tenacity—into three pairs of areas: gifts, competencies, and frustrations. By clarifying which areas naturally energize us, the assessment provides insight into how we best contribute and thrive in collaborative environments.
From a faith perspective, the Working Genius framework highlights the unique ways God has gifted each person to participate in His work. It helps each person discover their strengths for the building up the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-27).
Understanding our God-given talents not only brings greater self-awareness but also fosters appreciation for the diverse contributions of others, empowering us to work together more effectively for God’s glory.
The assessment takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.
