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

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

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 was brought to the baptismal font as a baby. I believe this was God’s miraculous intervention to claim me as his own through the death and resurrection of his son Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of my sins.

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

Volunteer @ Crosswalk Church Phoenix AZ 10 years

Choir/volunteer/girl pioneer leader Grace Lutheran Church Glendale AZ 20 years

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

Mentors who demonstrated their faith and willingness to share their skills and knowledge in love

Humble loving faithful Pastor

Confidence the Word is being taught in truth and purity at the church I attend.

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:

Hypocrisy/judgment within the church

Man made traditions that impede the spread of the gospel

congregations so comfortable they lack the desire to reach out to unbelievers

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. Become who Christ wants me to become and he will do through me what He wants done.

4. Investing – serving, encouraging, and building up others

5. Be an influencer for Christ – stewardship, time, talents
