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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a Christian home but had been involved in many vices and relationships that were not God-honoring. I came back to my senses and started to be involved in church again. I continued to serve Christ in whatever ministry He has called me to.

FCF – Youth Pastor, almost 5 years

Involved in the young adults and youth networks. Chaplain in CGS. Headed Evangelism ministry

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

Nurtured with grace by parents. Have meaningful relationships with immediate family.

Developed deep friendships with High School batchmates. Experienced love and acceptance through many years. Was supported by them in my ministry calling.

Got to work with many industries and have grown tremendously with all the work experiences and different fields of involvement.

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:

Had many vices. Made poor choices.

Got involved with relationships that were not God-honoring.
