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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in the Catholic church but didn’t learn a significant amount or pay a lot of attention. Then, I attended a Christian high school where I was encouraged to read the Bible for myself, and learn about it in an academic setting. The Holy Spirit met me at age 16 at our all-school retreat and moved in me over the next few months to pursue Him. Did not fully begin following until I was about 19-20 years old.

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

High School Youth Leader (Junior/Senior Girls), Christ Community Church, since 2019

Vacation Bible School Leader, Sabino Road Baptist Church, 2015 and 2016

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

Peer mentoring

Attending college/career group at Christ Community Church

Attending a Christian High School

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:

Growing up largely without a father figure

Allowing my identity as “student” to consume me

Growing up alongside someone with emotional/educational struggles made me relatively unemotional (striving to understand and feel emotions now)

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)?

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. Effectively ministering to a small group of girls and watching lives change
