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

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

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

I grew up going to church with both of my parents. I became a Christian at church on a Wednesday night in my class. I was not baptized until years later in high school.

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

Children’s Church ministry
Rock Branch Independent Church, Nitro, WV
teacher for 5 years

Sunday School teacher
RBIC, Nitro, WV
5 years

Hand bell Choir
RBIC, Nitro, WV
3 years

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

I had a great youth pastor. He is someone I can still go to for advice/counsel.

I grew up with a great youth group. My closest friends were my church friends. I think surrounding myself with those people has definitely shaped who I am.

I played sports as a kid. I think team sports helped me learn how to win and lose gracefully and how to respect people and authority.

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:

I have had very close friends move away and have lost touch with them.

My grandfather passed away shortly after I graduated from Optometry school. I was very close to him.

The church I grew up in basically went through a split. It was hard to see people I looked to as mentors unable to forgive and so bitter toward each other.

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 take in orphaned children or children removed from their homes.

4. I would do more mission work (local and abroad)
