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

Growing up we went to a different church. There they basically baby sat us instead of teaching us anything. Because of this I didn’t have anything to say to people when they asked me “Why do you go to church.” I kind of just went because my parents made me. But in the year of trying to find a different church some life things happened. I became very rude to my parents and I was rebellious. I was also dealing with depression and going to therapy for years. Eventually I got tired of the mean and bad person I became so I gave my life to the Lord. Just around that time we found another church and life as been good every since.

Agape – I was a youth there

Having a lot of experience with special needs children and just seeing how joyful they are

Going through therapy for my depression for about 8 years.

Loosing all my friends I had in high school because I became a better person.
