Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was born into a Christian family where God was priority. I naturally just found myself to love the things of God but I genuinely and with understanding gave my life to Christ in 2010 and then I got to experience the Holy Spirit. I used to be hot tempered and aggressive but today I’m no more.

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

Gospel student fellowship, Ibadan/Oyo, Family Gathering Pastor, 1

RCCG, Surulere/Lagos, Sunday school teacher, 3

Gofamint, Ibadan/Oyo, Sunday School teacher, 1

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

I was seeking admission and had to go meet a lecturer to help, when the admission list came out, myself and my mum went to thank the man but what shocked me was his statement. He said he didn’t do anything and that he has not even submitted my slip. I was shocked because he was a Muslim. This has helped increase my trust in God.

I sat for JAMB and I scored 193. Something happened that had never happened in the history of JAMB. The JAMB exam was remarked that year and I got 200 and that was the year I got my admission.

When my sisters started entering school one by one, my Dad was retired and my Job was not paying much God came through even when we needed to pay a tuition fee of 500k plus my wedding expenses that period, God did it.

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:

I lost my mum

My Dad lost everything and we experienced some level of poverty

I was without a job for one year and things were very hard.
