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 grew up in church, but as a family our faith was routine and not pervasive. In high school I got involved in Young Life and accepted Jesus during a summer camp.

Video production, Canyon Ridge Church,, Las Vegas, NV, 2 years

Stage setup, transport and logistics, Hope Church, New Hampton, CT, 2 years

Amore, Habitat for humanity type work in Mexico building homes, Canyon Ridge Church, Las Vegas, NV

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

Joining Young Life

Being in the Air Force

Playing sports

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:

Parents divorce, not having a father around and watching my mom struggle to provide and take care of the house and family

Not having a mentor as a young man to help prepare me for life’s personal and career challenges
