This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Once again, all the test i have taken over the last 30 years show a high score in this area. I love people and enjoy helping them.

#3 Gift, Teaching (68%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am a bit surprised by this one. Spiritual gifts test vary on the definition of teaching. Some see teaching as assimilating data and in a seminary setting. if this is teaching, then this is not me, as I don’t assimilate data well. If it is sharing biblical truth from a heart level, application perspective, that is me. I like sharing what I am reading and communicating it devotionally.

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
