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

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

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

I am only now becoming aware that what I felt I was isn’t so. I’m in the process of learning where I am.

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

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

Teachers from my schools formed me into the person I am. I believe they gave me the work ethics that I contain which made my business successful.

My Grandparents who lived next door to us provided the only spiritual example for us. They were faithful members of a church but didn’t talk with us about it.

My husband has always pushed me to not be afraid to better myself.

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:

Living in poverty for a time has given me compassion for others in need, but at the same time I know what a person can do if they want to help themselves so I’m less likely to “feel sorry” for them.

Working with the public you realize how different peoples lives are and how they get through it. You can’t help someone who doesn’t want it.

Being treated badly by others. Our community has a problem with people who think they are above you and it has always made me realize that I don’t want to become like them and to remember how others feel.

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 have a place where people could be helped mentally, physically and financially because so many need all three but it isn’t provided for them.

4. To help my husband have a life of quality

5. To be happy and content so I could peacefully sleep. In the long run I would be able to help others.
