The Call...Your Unique Design

Part of our job as dad is to help our kids find a "career direction" in life. In the early years this can be as simple as occasionally asking "what do you want to be when you grow up?" followed by a "I think you would be great at _____."

But as they get older, except for the rare self-directed kid, you'll have to take a more active role.

One possibility I'm personally considering is to have my child take a "test". There are quite a few career/strength assessment programs out there, but here are two that are distinctively Christian in nature and approach the question from a spiritual gifts perspective. I am not sure to what degree they leverage secular personality systems like Myers-Briggs, but they definitely look interesting.
