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

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

I WASNT RAISED BY MY PARENTS SO I KNEW AT AN EARLY AGE I WOULD NOT ABANDON MY CHILDREN NO MATTER HOW HARD THINGS GOT

I LEARNED AT A EARLY AGE TO WORK HARD

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:

I ALWAYS RAN THE STREETS SO I GOT IN TROUBLE IN MANY WAYS BUT I NOW CAN SPEAK TO A TEENAGER WHO MIGHT BE GOING THE SAME THING

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 WANT TO REACH OUT TO THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY

4. I WOULD WANT TO REACH OUT TO TEENAGERS WHO HAE NO GUIDENESS IN THEIR LIFE

5. I WOULD WANT TO REACH OUT TO PRIOSNERS BECAUSE MY BROTHER WAS IN PRISON AT AN EARLY AGE
