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

Accepted Jesus at young age in a church going family to avoid hell

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

not much

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

People around me that have had a positive influence

My friend who encouraged me to go to church again after not going for awhile

Meeting many people while living in different places, traveling, attending different schools and churches

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:

My dad dying when I was 7 years old

Having to move from a farm and start over with not much money

Being depressed for awhile and dealing with it

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. Bringing the gospel to the unreached people groups of the world however that may be done

4. Uniting the christian church in revival and belief to stand apart from our current culture

5. Helping the community at large with giving and sharing of our lives and resources like Christians have done but gone away from recently like hospitals, universities, politics and reaching the needy
