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

I came to know Jesus when I was 4 at my christian preschool. I can remember it vividly to this day. God made Himself known to me from a very young age.

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

women’s ministry

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

Meeting and marrying my husband

becoming a mom

learning to mature in how to love difficult extended family

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:

Cancer- I have a heart for them to know God desires to heal them and the power to do it.

moving- having to rely on God and in doing so my husband, children and I became an incredibly close family

becoming a mom- parenting is both my greatest accomplishment and hardest endeavor. It requires giving a lot of things I was going to do up or postponing. I am actually circling back now and that is why I am taking this test

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. being used by God, I don’t know what that is though, that is why im here

4. to be healthy and energized and being part of some ministry that makes a difference

5. to write a book, to go back for a different degree, to have clear direction, Ive thought about a decorating ministry where I gather local designers and we connect with churches to find people who need a pick me up, who work hard and just need to feel the blessing of a warm inviting home. I am very interested in the dreams and dream interpretations. I also looooove to research and have even thought about christian anthropology . I’m all over the map!
