So last Friday, Young Pro Fellowship's activity was a personality test. It is a simple personality test written by Gary Smalley and John Trent. Before I explain it, click THIS to open the test, click File Menu of the opened Spread Sheet and click Export -> XLS to download the who thing and take the test. hehe...
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzz.....................
Are you done???
Now let's begin.
There are four personality types or animals in this test: Lion, Otter, Golden Retriever, and Beaver. In the same order are the columns in the exam.
A simple explanation is:
Lions are Leaders
Otters are the Friendlies
Golden Retrievers are the Caring ones
Beavers are the Diligent Ones
Each character has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. But don't get me wrong, you don't necessarily have all of the mentioned strength or weakness. The psych evaluation only gives you an idea of where your tendencies are. One can also be in multiple categories. If you're a lion then an otter. It just means you are a leader first, before you are a motivator. It's just a matter of letting one see what is a person's biggest potential and possible areas of improvement. Remember, having those weaknesses don't give you an excuse to stay weak in those areas. Knowing your weakness makes you more responsible in taking the initiative to improve on them. While knowing your strengths shows which areas in ministry and work you can shine in. Maximize your God given strengths. Comprende?!?! It can also be helpful in understanding other individuals. Why they are like that, and on what areas you can help them improve.
