#1 Gift, Teaching (81%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I am both creative and analytical in my thinking which allows me to approach information and build my own understanding with unique insight. That foundation makes expressing my thoughts through a variety conceptual ideas and figurative language easier. Being understood is important, so I’m often looking to find different ways to say the same things in hopes that I have communicated clearly. Affirmation in that process is quite rewarding.

Words carry power. One of the most powerful things we can do with them is share the message of the Love, hope, grace and mercy we find through Christ.

Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, 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

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
