Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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 filling my life with things of the world rather than Christ. I want from bar to bar, store to store, trying to fill the void. A friend of mine got saved and stopped the bar scene and I realize what I might also be missing.

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

Rahab Ministries 3 years helping women whom have been trafficked and addicted.

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

Jesus. My walk with Him. My journey and learning to see Him in my circumstances which would take a book to explain.

God radically and quickly changed my heart upon my saying Your will NOT mine. Whatever You want me to do …

Bible studies and my quiet time especially when I journal (which I do not do nearly enough).

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:

Trauma/ Abuse emotional

Abuse physical

Abuse sexual
