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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

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

Pastoral Care @RCCG, Jesus London, England – 2010 – 2012

Pastoral Care @RCCG, House of David, Lagos – 2013 – 2017

Pastoral Care @The Elevation Church, Mainland, Lagos – 2018 till date

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

My parents are clergy, the simplicity of their lives had a great influence on me

Understanding that the knowledge I have is not commonly available to all and provides me with the opportunity to serve

Seeing physical results from the ideas I recommended creates a hunger to do more.

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:

Financial mismanagement

Seeing great initiatives die and leaders burn out because no one could support

Excellent ideas failing badly due to lack of clarity and stagey to execute

Wrapping It Up

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)?

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. To be a thought leader in GRC, Finance and Strategy – not limited to secular functions
