Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

After reading a book titled Religious without Christ when I was in high school, I was inquisitive on being a Christian. the leader of the Scripture Union group challenged us on what was most important to us in life and by the next time I listened to a sermon by a visiting preacher I was hungry and ready to give my life to Christ to reign in my life

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

Served as a Greeter in First San Jose Foursquare Church, CA for 11years
Offered my home for small group fellowship in Nigeria for 4 years

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

I saw genuine Christian living in the leader of the Scripture Union and desired to emulate her She showed a real change of lifestyle which proved to me that Christ has power to change people

My mother was a very hospitable person and passed that on to me while watching her. To this day I love making my guests feel as comfortable as I can and people do visit me a lot as a result I guess

i realized the importance of actually knowing/memorizing Bible passages and practicing it from my friends in college

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:

Somebody I confided in told other people which made me feel betrayed. This made me realize the sting of gossiping and as such I am very aware of avoiding gossip

I was very disappointed in a friend who refused to help me in time of need and never wanted to associate with her but I listened to lots of talk on reconciliation and decided never to hold on to malice and grudges and learn to let go because no one is worth going to hell for
