Variety

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

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

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

[E]xperience

I was born into a Christian family. But my first taste of a deep relationship with God began just before I got into the University. But this new fervor began after a stormy three years of my life when I struggled financially, emotionally, and trying to find myself as an individual.

Publicity director in Christian Fellowship International in UNIBEN

Teens coordinator in House on the Rock

Administrative officer in the Kingdom Community

I contested my university result and got it upgraded. Some grades had been left out. I would normally not do this but this experience showed a part of me that I normally don’t engage and every time I think back, it gives me a boost to stand up for what I expect.

My ex-boyfriend gave me a timely and very thoughtful gift that completely left a mark on my ability to receive gifts without feeling the need to reciprocate as a duty.

Singing and watching football with my mother and siblings. As much as we didn’t grow up in a model family, there are moments of laughter and merriment I could never forget. They have a huge impact on who I am.

My parents’ rocky marriage had a bad influence on me that I have walked away from and now laying the foundation for what is good with God in marriage. I am very concerned about children and people from dysfunctional family situations.

My dad lost his job along with a huge debt that I assisted in paying over a period of three years. I was the only breadwinner of the family until my brother secured a good job. I am highly compassionate about people going through a financial crisis.

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)?

2. My Relationship with Others

• Everyone Else After those

3. Become a full time writer, content creator, and publisher
