Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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
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
Grew up in church, committed to Christ at a Billy Graham rally, learned how to be a follower with relationship with Christ at Mclean Bible Church.
Mclean bible church – video Intern and tech crew cameras, switcher, etc. – 8 yrs
Mclean bible church – outreach choir – 7 yrs
Mclean Bible Church – various – feeding the homeless, Turkey outreach, Serve DMV, Clothing ministry, tech crew, volunteered where needed. – Over the past 20 yrs.
Amazing 3-yrs. season of hardship, lost job, taking care of my deathly-ill mother and having to work in a field that was completely different than mine, and for half the money, not knowing why or what God was doing in my life. Yet, I have changed from the inside out, am able to share the story He gave me over and over again, and even non-christians are amazed at God’s miracles through this time. I was able to be an example to others and display my peace in where God had me at the time. I am able to encourage others in tough circumstances as a result, and to evangelize using that story. I now have a love for God that is so deep and am in love with him.
Have many interesting stories in my life and most people are amazed when they find out all I have done with my life. I usually don’t share those unless they come up in conversation.
Learning from other people who God placed in my life to help me overcome hurt feelings, anger, and a troubled relationship with my father have given me good information t pass on to others.

Troubled relationship with my father. Then God blessing me with the necessity to care for him at the end of his life when he struggled with Alzheimers. God reconciled our love for each other, and gave me resolution to those troubled times.
Being sexually and verbally abused in various situations and then seeking answers to heal me of those times, has enabled me to help others.
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. Doing ministry with my future husband.
4. Plan a beautiful senior living community for seniors who have little money and also for seniors who have alzheimers. Somewhere that is very nice with it’s own town-like atmosphere that is secure where they can wander around safely and freely and shop independently and get around without inconvenience, and with caregivers surrounding them for safety and assistance. A place where they could shop and get out and do things in a safe area that they are not able to do in a regular town/city.
5. To have enough money to give to the poor, provide shelter, food, clean water, and good care to those who need it.
