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

As little kids, My parents always took my sister and me to church – up until we were older. I always loved going to church, however, my relationship with Jesus was not a priority at the time.
Over the years, I went through many seasons battling anxiety and depression, which led to substance abuse, and a time of feeling so extremely lost.
After facing those difficult obstacles, I realized I could not fight them alone. I needed something more. I was reminded of a greater purpose for my life, ..and the resurrection power of Jesus Christ — And through him, I walk in the light today.

four points. Dallas, GA. Special Needs Volunteer, 1 yr.

Westridge. Dallas. Special Needs Volunteer and Middle School Leader, (Just started)

I would say my first positive experience is my middle school memories with friends, and just being a part of chorus and band in that time. It made a huge impact on who I am today and my established fundamentals

My second experience is being a part of theater in high school. I loved playing a role on the stage and this helped me gain a bunch of confidence being able to perform in front of people and realize my potential.

I would say the last experience that made a huge impact on me is in the last year. I met a group of friends that have been an impact on my relationship with God and helping me with remembering who I am in Christ.

I would say the first negative experience would also be middle school, though I had a lot of good memories; I was also the kid who got bullied for having a gap in my teeth. This helped me gain a lot of compassion for middle schoolers and what they are maybe going through.

The next negative experience is my experience with my last church. They were a little judgemental, but this helped grow me and lead me to a church I really love.

My relationship in high school wasn’t the best, however, I learned so much about myself from it. It also really helped shape me as a person and what I want in a relationship when I’m older.
