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

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

Though i was Born in a So called Christian Family, i loved Jesus but Never Knew what did it really mean to Follow Him

In my Intermediate Iind yr..
Through Frequent debates with my Muslim Friends..created with in me a Desire and Doubt
Why am i Following what i am Following

Is Jesus really God?

More important Question.. that Haunted me was…What is the Real Purpose of my Life…

Then one day..i could listen to a Godly Man named Zac Poonen about Being Really Born Again..

Though I don’t know any Real date to quote…but i knew..i was a different person

The old has Gone..i was a New Creation

I had within me a Great Desire to read His word..and listen to Sermons that help me Grow
And

Tell people about Jesus

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

Helping and Encouraging people through Spiritual Talk on important Practical issues to my Church Youth Group

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

LT camp (Meeting Alex Uncle)
Seeing few Truly Honest and Godly Men Serving God with Utmost Sincerity and Joy

Knowing the Truth about God as my Loving Heavenly Father..who is interested in the minutest Details of My Life

Being Filled with the Holy Spirit, and Know what it Genuinely and Truly means to speak in a truly convicting way

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 Defeated with Besetting Sins..which are strangling me with Guilt and shame…made me realise what God’s Grace is all about

Being Un-accepted and Un-Appreciated at times…made me Know How it really Feels

Being Lonely and Rejected at times …made me value the Lonely and discarded ones
