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

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

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

I always grew up in church, even as a small child. But I would say maybe around 12 I decided I wanted to get baptized. The last 6 years or so have been the most formative in my walk as I’ve had to unlearn and learn new things about what being a Christian really means.

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

H.O.P.E.’s House – Alto – Praise & Worship Team (2012 – present)

H.O.P.E.’s House – Hospitality/Leader in HOPE Fellowship (2012-2014)

Knox Presbyterian Church – Youth Praise Team/Youth Group (2005-2009)

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

My missions trip to South Africa.

Attending CSUN and finding HOPE Fellowship

Attending the Presbytarian Youth Conference my previous church sent me to in 2008.

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:

Being fired from my job.

Finding out that I had a “secret” sibling.

Dealing with rejection from my peers.

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. I would want to travel to other countries and just love on those in need.

4. I would be obedient to God and not let fear hinder me.

5. I would give more freely to those in need.
