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

[E]xperience

I sensed God wanted to be my friend and not just my Lord and savior and then I chose to give my life entirely to Him. Since then I have been living for Him and dying to myself.

Starting my own business – I learned a lot of life skills through this process.

Getting married – I am so blessed to have my wife in my life and it has helped me mature and challenged me in my walk with God on multiple levels.

Working at the church – I have learned a lot through this experience and feel God has showed me a lot about sacrifice and relying on him in the midst of everything we go through.

The death of my grandpa when I was a teenager

Losing friends during and after college. Not due to a large fight or anything like that but drifting apart and caring about different things.

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. I would spend way more time in discipleship settings and imparting into the lives of other’s on a personal level.

4. I would bless more people randomly with gifts, vacations, houses, etc.

5. I would travel more and be intentional to be a light to the people I encounter as I do.
