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

found God at my father’s funeral and have grown almost everyday since then I have served with

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

First Baptist Church of Alexandria, alexandria, Va, 2006-present

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

transferring school from a liberal school to a more truthful school had an impact upon me and turned me into an honest man who can make my own decisions

Deciding to live part time with my grandparents helped me get exposed to a little more experience and a different role model

being able to speak at my church during a service led me to be introduced to Mrs. Marion Moon who would become a very close family friend

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:

when my father passed way it was very hard however it led me to become an even stronger man

Being kicked out of class numerous times for speaking my mind in middle school led me to be even firmer in faith and morals

failing a lot in middle school helped me realize how important studying was and how I needed discipline
