Teacher-Apostle
The Theological Builder

Teacher Primary
You establish and build — but always on doctrinal foundations. You think architecturally about truth, and you create structures — curricula, frameworks, institutions — built to endure.
Teacher-primary types are grounders and explainers — devoted to careful understanding of Scripture and gifted to equip others.
