Day Two – Taking the Pride Test
Perhaps a bit of self-examination will help. Consider each of the following statements and score yourself this way:
Always—5 points
Frequently—4 points
Sometimes—3 points
Rarely—2 points
Never—0 points
- In conversations I prefer speaking about myself or having others talk about me rather than listening about other people.
- In most situations I am thinking about how things will benefit me, reflect on me, or work in my favor.
- If I’m honest, when making decisions I tend to do what I think is best for me rather than what would glorify God.
- When someone says I have hurt or offended them, I tend to think they are the one with the problem.
- When good things happen for other people, I tend to get jealous and have a hard time being happy for them.
- I desire a lot of attention and affirmation.
- I think I’m generally better than most people.
- I am not a generous person and am more prone to take than to give.
- I feel like the world would be a better place if people just agreed with the way
- I think they should behave.
- I have a hard time not winning and am an overly competitive person.
- It is more common for people to serve me than for me to serve them.
- It bothers me when I do something good and do not receive credit for it.
- I have a hard time giving compliments to others, speaking well of others, and honoring others.
- I feel like certain menial tasks are below me and should be done by someone else.
- I hide my Christian convictions when I am with people who might disagree with me, judge me, or reject me.
- I have a hard time taking orders, receiving correction, or being under authority.
- I think about myself more than I think about God and other people.
- I prefer to be the teacher informing others rather than the student who is learning.
- I care a lot about how I appear to others—my appearance, possessions, and people with whom I associate.
- I tend to brag about myself and criticize others.
On a scale of 0–100, how did you score? How much work do you have to do?

Humility is a direction in which we travel, not a destination at which we arrive. Mark and Grace Driscoll challenge you to recognize pride in your life, and to learn how grace empowers you to walk in humility.
