Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Lion- This personality likes to lead. The lion is good at making decisions and is very goal-oriented. They enjoy challenges, difficult assignments, and opportunity for advancement. Because lions are thinking of the goal, they can step on people to reach it. Lions can be very aggressive and competitive. Lions must learn not to be too bossy or to take charge in other’s affairs.

Strength: Goal-oriented, strong, direct
Weakness: Argumentative, too dictatorial
Limitation: Doesn’t understand that directness can hurt others, hard time expressing grace

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I live 600 miles away from all my family. I had visited my mother in Feb of 2014 for a week. She was hospitalized and on a ventilator. After the ventilator was taken off and she was doing better, I came back home. I attended church regularly. March 31, 2014 was the day I was Baptized and gave my life to God. My mother passed April 3, 2014. I thank God for preparing me for that moment.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

N/A

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Working with my grandmother and mother in the kitchen.

Working with a woman that taught me alot and worked even harder than I did. She also kept her family close and in church.

Having a strong bond with my siblings

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

My family moved in with my step-grandparents when I was 6. My step-grandfather molested me until I was 11. That experience was difficult to overcome, but God got me through it.

I have been in multiple car accidents due to quite a few bad decisions when I was younger that resulted in multiple broken bones. With Scars and broken bones I never gave up. God had gotten me through also.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. To be successful with my god given talents.

4. To be number one in my company.

5. To help others with the money I earn while I’m successful.
