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

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

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

I was in a hard place where I failed to understand what it is to be a true man, so I looked to God and not myself and He pointed me to Psalm 51 where I realized the strength I needed to become not just a man but a man of God was found in admitting the weakness of my heart, but how God provides us with the heart we need.

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

I have served in my previous for a number of years and in different positions. I started as a youth in Ushering for maybe 4 years, then 2 years in our tech crew. Now I am a college student who ushers when I go home.

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

My stepfathers role in my life as someone who pushes me towards Christ and challenges my faith as well as helps me get involved.

My friends who help mentor and hold me accountable as a Christian.

My mother who reminds me that she and God are here fore me unconditionally.

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 fathers abuse.

My misunderstanding of sacrifice and patience, and its healthy limits.

Trust broken by friends I deeply cared about.

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. To bring as many people to Christ as I can, so that they can understand Gods grace and mercy as I have.

4. To spend more more time intentionally seeking Gods will for my life individually.

5. To love like Christ and be able to forgive everyone as Christ has forgiven me.
