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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Grew up in traditional evangelical church having a relationship with Jesus as a child. At age 22y I started deeply doubting whether God was true (vs made up) – I did hope that God existed and that the Gospel was true.
After having an existential crisis and becoming very depressed and purposeless (also breaking up with my long term boyfriend) I visited various charismatic churches in desperation. In April 2011, I had an encounter with God during worship in a church were knew nobody. I witnessed true worship and realized that God definetly exists and that He has been waiting for me to seek Him and pursue relationship with me. I was convicted of my sin that kept me away from God and I was instantly filled with HOPE for my future with Christ!!
