Your Primary was ‘The Lion’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God
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
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
[E]xperience
I grew up in the church with parents that were always open to discussion about the person of Jesus and amazing examples of serving. Overtime, my faith became my own and I have fallen in love with Jesus everyday.
Inspire Church, Singapore, Creative Team/Kids Leader, 2016-present
Hope City KL, Kuala Lumpur/Malaysia, Creative Team/hospitality, 1 year
Christ Community Church, Atlanta/Georgia, Early Years Kids Volunteer, 5 years
Competing in fine arts- I learned that development of skills is as essential to effective ministry as a willing heart.
Moving overseas- I have learned to be completely dependent on God and what a life of stepping out looks like.
Quitting my job- I had no plan and big dreams. I’ve learned to dream bigger and let go of so many things.
Impurity- not sex, but close enough
Emotional abuse- codependence and constant use and manipulation into situations where I had no way out
Anaemia/health battle
Wrapping It Up

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. develop education in refugee camps to match and rival developed countries
4. work to end abuse and slavery of women and children globally
