The five highest scored gifts are probably your spiritual gifts. You may have two or three gifts that have the same score, in which case you may need to consider the six or seven highest scored gifts. Keep in mind that the results of this inventory are not the final determination of your gifts. It's only the beginning. You must try serving the Lord using what you think are your gifts. Sometimes you will fail, sometimes you will succeed. Sometimes you will bless people through your service, and sometimes not. You can be sure of your spiritual gifts only by trying them out.
