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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a Christian home and chose Jesus for myself at a young age. I started serving in my church in elementary school.

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

Elementary school – Nursery volunteer, led studies and events during Pioneer Girls at Westminster Chapel

High School leadership team at Westminster – planning events, teaching other leaders, accountability

Young Married Couple – Co-leader of young married group at Westminster.

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

Marriage to my husband who has similar values that I do.

Being a child of a Pastor

Leadership opportunities in High School and College

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:

Not being given enough responsibility at my job. Having my initiative denied.

Moral failure of my father

Overnight abandonment of high school leaders – they all resigned and changed churches one night which meant that other leaders had to step up.
