No one can really do that because there is no list of gifts of the Spirit in the Bible. The term "spiritual gifts" does nt exist anywhere in the Bible from cover to cover. Prior to 1970's you rarely ever heard about spiritual gifts. It was only in the 1970's and later editions of the Bible (NIV, NASB etc) that the word was added to the Bible up to 17 times in some versions to promte charismatic teaching which was strongly entering into the church at that time. Every usage of it is an inserted one. 1 Cor 12:1 has had the word gift added to the word spiritual, but is in not in the original. I cor 1:6 (maybe 7) has added the word spiritual to the word gift. The doctrine has simply been written in. In Romans 12 the word gift (charisma) is used but not with the word spiritual. There it lists 7 gifts which could very well be natural gifts given by the grace of God. A person would be born with them. Many of the gifts are given by Christ, as in Ephesians 4. But that is not the word charisma, I think it is doreo. Bottom line we have been deceived into a false doctrine that has permeated the church and simply gets us off of what is important to God - redemption, and on to what is important to man -meeee!.
Edit: I notice many early answers quote 1 Cor 12 as a list of the spirit, yet in the quote they call them "manisfestations". Manisfestations and gifts are two completely different things. Manisfestations is the way something reveals itself not a gift, something given by the giver.

The gifts of the Spirit are found in several places throughout the New Testament: Romans 12:6-8, 1 Corinthians 12:4-10, 1 Corinthians 12:28b and Ephesians 4:11.
The gifts are: prophecy, serving, teaching, encouraging, sharing, leading, helping, wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, miracles, distinguishing spirits, tongues, interpretation of tongues, apostles, prophets, evangelism, and administration.
These are gifts that are used for the building up of the Body of Christ for the furtherance of spreading the Gospel, and encouraging the flock.
The fruit of the Spirit is the result of the Spirit's control in one's life. They are found in Galatians 5:22-23. They include: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

yes i can.
Fruits of the spirit: Gal. 5:22 On the other hand, the fruitage of the spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, 23 mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Paul enumerates nine different manifestations or operations(gifts) of the spirit: (1) speech of wisdom, (2) speech of knowledge, (3) faith, (4) gifts of healings, (5) powerful works, (6) prophesying, (7) discernment of inspired utterances, (8) different tongues, and (9) interpretation of tongues. All these gifts of the spirit served a beneficial purpose that not only contributed to the numerical growth of the congregation but also resulted in its spiritual upbuilding.—1Co 12:7-11; 14:24-26.
1Cor. 12: 7 But the manifestation of the spirit is given to each one for a beneficial purpose. 8 For example, to one there is given through the spirit speech of wisdom, to another speech of knowledge according to the same spirit, 9 to another faith by the same spirit, to another gifts of healings by that one spirit, 10 to yet another operations of powerful works, to another prophesying, to another discernment of inspired utterances, to another different tongues, and to another interpretation of tongues. 11 But all these operations the one and the same spirit performs, making a distribution to each one respectively just as it wills.
1Cor. 26 What is to be done, then, brothers? When YOU come together, one has a psalm, another has a teaching, another has a revelation, another has a tongue, another has an interpretation. Let all things take place for upbuilding

Read 1 Corinthians 12
4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.
