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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was seven years old at Vacation Bible School when the Lord called me to Him. He opened my eyes< and I let Him into my heart.

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

I have served as a Vacation Bible School leaders for four years.

I was a Sunday school teacher for a class of two year olds for half a year.

I worked in my church’s bus ministry for a few months.

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

I joined a women’s Bible study

I made strong, Christ friends.

I went to church camp.

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 figured out that you cannot put your faith in people because they will always fail you, so that experience gave me understanding.

I was pricked on a one girl relentlessly, but she changed completely and we are friends now.

I had to go through some family pain and sadness when I was very young, but that pain taught me forgiveness.
