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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Was mostly a holiday service attender as a child until I moved out to CA on my own after graduating college, working through some counseling and anger issues from alcoholism and verbal abuse in the home and started attending Saddleback Church when I was 21 and Pastor Rick Baptized me

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

Saddleback Church. 101 Shape Interviewer. 2-3 years

Saddleback Church. Administrative office help. 1 year

Saddleback Church. MOPs Table Leader. 4-5 years

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

Going to Europe not knowing anyone in the group upon HS Graduation & leaving my boyfriend/family and moving by myself to CA to live and find a job

Playing 2 team sports through High School and then in College

Becoming a Mom twice

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:

Confronting my Mom about her alcoholism and how it affected me

Dealing with illness (autoimmune), death from cancer and depression and anxiety and dementia in families

Not getting the attention as a child, mostly emotional absence that was needed (nannies, actress sister was priority, parents never saw games, valued only if you were popular and in theatre).

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. Helping those in pain (emotional or physical)

4. Using what I do for work to reach out to others who don’t know God

5. Working with animals somehow to glorify him
