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

Was as a child and turned away because of unanswered questions. Always felt God’s hand on me and even as an atheist he held on to me. Studying and answering my own questions cleared they way to my being, to me, a Christian.

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

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

Caring for my parents when they became elderly and needed assistance. They never stopped trying. Caring and encouraging my two sons when they were severely injured in a car accident. They fought their injuries and were able to live with their limitations and pain.

Talking with my family members, with out being on my soap box, and helping them to allow Jesus to be their friend.

I was raised in a blue collar workers home, with a full time mom and never was taught to feel ashamed being financially poor. I was taught to work and not be idle and to always save money. Don’t throw anything out if it can be repurposed or fixed.

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:

Having illegal drugs enter our lives during the 60’s. Watching poor people become tools of the drug culture. Disruption of the wonderful church communities and neighborhoods.

Wages being determined by contracts not merit. Government handouts and the culture it created.

Civil right movement, seeing total hatred of people because of race, and the affect of racism.

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. help people regain selfrespect and lose self pity

4. protect abused children and help them heal from the emotional pain.
