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

Grew up going to church so became a Christian as a pre-teen. My father did not allow me to be baptized as he thought I was too young. I dropped out of going to church and living the Christian life as a teenager into my adult life. After attending a church service in 2015, I recommitted my life to the Lord and got baptized.

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

Currently: TLC Refreshment Ministry and Prayer Ministry

n/a

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

Having a child taught me patience, humility and how to love.

Having strict parents with good moral values instilled good moral values in me and provided discipline

Having younger siblings that I had to look after taught me to be responsible and how to lead.

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:

Being rebellious and having to deal with the resulting consequences helped me to get my act together.

Being in hurtful relationships and the impact it had on my self image, forced me to want to improve myself image and self worth. So I’m understanding and compassionate for others going through similar situations.

Trying to fit into the wrong crowd to feel important and to be popular.

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)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. I would travel the world

4. I would help this less fortunate and the sick more extensively

5. I would provide training and jobs on a wide scale for the at risk youths
