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

I accepted Christ at 13 years old. I was raised in a Christian family attending church and activities. I was baptized in the local community pond.

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

Developed and organized a women’s group for a church.

Sunday school teacher assistant.

Cooking food and serving lunch for homeless and under-served women and children and homeless.

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

Building my career

Having and raising 3 very intelligent and successful children

Obtaining my Bachelor and Master degrees

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:

Abusive marriages

I don’t see this as a negative experience, but I grew up in a rural farming community where some neighbors had out-houses and bartered for services. This provided me with the value of inclusiveness; people who grew up in/with different times and expectations.

Everyone Else After those
