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

Grew up in a Christian family, became a Christian at 19 as I saw it as a core of who I am

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

Youth leader (when younger, for 3 years)

Small Group Leader / Alpha leader (10+ years)

Elder (3 years)

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

Was discipled by great, warm, passionate, wise leaders, and realised I had many of those same skills and needed to pass this blessing on to others

Have been given many great opportunities with God opening many doors to me around the world

Have been the recipient of great generosity and have lived a life better than I deserve – and that I should seek to do the same for others

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:

Have watched people being bullied and feel strongly about addressing bullying wherever I see it

Have lost people (through death) close to me at a young age – reminded me of the shortness of life on this earth and the importance of focusing on doing the things that really matter

Grew up with financial uncertainty so that is always a factor guiding my stewardship of resources (sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a too-self-sufficient way)

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. Helping develop and implement solutions for those living in poverty and deprivation globally

4. Building tools to help leaders in all walks of life be who God needs them to be

5. Serve together with my family in service of God, in a shared area
