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

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

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

[E]xperience

I grew up going to church so I always thought I was saved until I had an actual experience with God at a youth meeting when I was 14 during alter call the minister asked me what I wanted pray for and I told her that I just wanted to be saved.

I failed every test in a class once when I was in college and passed the final and ended up passing the class and finally graduating college. I was a super senior so graduating was a big testimony for me

My grandfather and grandmother gifted me with a new car as a graduation present. I always drove lemons and I told people that I was going to get a new car and I wasn’t going to have to pay a car note…had no idea how or where it was going to come from but I knew it would happen and it did.

Moving to St Louis from Memphis almost 2 years ago has helped me tremendously as a person

I didn’t know tribulation most of my life my biggest issue was acne and getting back and forth to events…I got a car for my 18th bday a yr later I was in a hit and run accident and that moment seemed to have created a domino effect in my life it was like the beginning to the rest of my life..before then it was easy to serve God I hadn’t been through anything every moment after then tested how real my faith was. I was also very judgmental before that time in my life I became less judgmental after experiencing some things in life.

I was in an abusive relationship. I never understood how beautiful intelligent women with great support systems could find themselves in abusive relationships…again very judgmental until I went through it.

When I moved to St Louis for about 5 days I lived in a place that was an eyesore, structurally unsafe, and just unlike any place I’ve had to lay my head before…very humbling moment

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 create a non profit that provided jobs and helped people maintain employment for people that have a hard time finding employment. So single mothers, college students or recent graduates, felons etc

4. In conjunction with the statements above I want to provide resources to elderly people that are unable to afford them. Even if it’s just to have someone to talk to or to visit with them. Id like to have houses repaired lawn stuff manicured relatable transportation to stores or doctors visits.

5. I’d want to lovebirds ge healthiest most prosperous life for myself and my family I want to be able to help anyone that come a my way in need and I want God to use me in any capacity boldly serve him so that’s others will know of his love and kindness and be drawn to serve him also
