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

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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

When I was 10 years old, my brother was hit by a car while riding his bicycle. The perpetrator was a drunk driver. This tragic accident set me on my spiritual journey. I began reading the Bible as a young teen and the Word did not return void. I eventually asked Jesus into my life.

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

I’ve served mostly in children’s ministry at Canton First Friends Church in Ohio as a teacher of some kind. (35 years)

I’ve led mission trips for teens multiple times.

I’ve headed up the Operation Christmas Child program at CFFF (Ohio) for 2 years.

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

Leading/participating in mission trips

being mentored by my youth leaders when I was a teen

Studying the Word of God

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:

experiencing the death of my brother

experiencing my son’s Still’s Disease onset

experiencing difficult family relationships
