Community Asset Mapping Test

Introduction: Every single person has capacities, abilities and gifts. Living a good life depends on whether those capacities can be used, abilities expressed and gifts given. If they are, the person will be valued, feel powerful and well-connected to the people around them. And the community around the person will be more powerful because of the contribution the person is making. We are interested in your capacities, abilities and gifts. They may have been learned through experience in the home or with your family, or learned at work, at church or in the community. By completing this inventory you will see what interests you most and what gifts you bring to the community.
