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

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

Baptized at 3 months old raised by my parents to believe Jesus is our savior.

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

Taught 1st graders that attended non-parochial schools about Jesus Christ. 8 years St. Joseph Church in Ohio

Helped collect pledges for our church door to door to parishioners.

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

Being raised by two very loving and guiding parents.

Being blessed with two children

Being taught the importance of honor, integrity and ethical practices in my profession.

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:

As a young teenager being exceptionally good at something then having that taken away from me and later having to watch others with less skill become very popular and successful in that same area.

Watching my wife die from cancer and seeing the effect it had on my young children.

Deciding to resign from a good position finding out the new position was a nightmare of lies, deceit and unethical practices.

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. Be the person to bring God back into our Government whereby all decisions were made to glorify His from s as a nation.

4. Be a man that has the light of Christ shinning thru me for all others to see.

5. Be a man to set the example of God like love toward all people.
