My company sent me to a pair of Industrial Psychologists in the hope that they would evaluate my "advancement potential" and "professional acumen." A few weeks ago I went to their offices and took a number of cognitive assessments and personality profiles. The results of these tests are contained in this binder. I am assigned to review their findings and journal about what the tests have revealed about myself.
You know, there is a thin border between productive self-analysis and destructive self-obsession. And I must confess that sinful pride is among my most vulnerable areas for temptation. So it is with a small degree of apprehension that I spend any time focusing on me.
But the exercise has produced some God-honoring self-analysis. I am reminded how remarkably blessed I am and what a responsibility the skills and capacities that God has baked into my DNA are. I am reminded that I can be impatient and unconcerned with the emotional needs of others. I am reminded that giftedness is a responsibility not a privilege.
Most of all I am reminded that the only good I can do in the world will not be because of my aptitudes or abilities but it will be the result of my submission to Jesus and the only kingdom I should hope to establish is not my own but is the one He is bringing into the world.
But above all I'm ready to stop thinking about myself...I do that too much naturally...I don't need to do it for homework!
