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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was raised a Christian and attended church regularly. Stepped away from the church for some time and have recently returned ready to learn and improve my self. I want to use the teachings of the Bible to be a better son, husband, father and friend.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Assist in set up and tare down.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Being raised by good parents who instilled good morals, ethics and family values. Having parents who sacrificed everything for a better life for my sister and I.

Being guided by early mentors, helping me set career goals and assisted me in fulfilling them.

Being able to help others in their most difficult times and seeing a positive effect in their lives from my actions.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Struggling in school and being bullied in my early years.

Experiencing heart break and making mistakes in my life.

Losses in competition.

Everyone Else After those
