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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

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

Cornerstone Church – Welcome Center

Grace Baptist Church – DivorceCare

First Baptist Church of Glenarden – Newsletter Ministry/ Testimony Time, and writing workshops
St. Augustine Catholic Church – Black History Committee

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

Career in Social Marketing + Teaching

Going on a Missions Trip

Steps I took to heal from divorce – path of self-discovery, studying scripture, participating in programs (e.g., DivorceCare, The One University, Beth Moore studies, etc.) which led to spiritual growth

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:

Remaining in 30 year marriage despite abusive tendencies of my spouse

After raising two sons in the church, struggling with how as 20-somethings, they are living in the world despite being taught differently

Constantly struggling to plan a budget where the need exceeds the income

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. Do-over: Live beyond survival mode and establish family traditions and special celebrations to bond and strengthen the family.
