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

Grew up in church, tender to the Gospel at a young age, faith stepped up in college

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

Children’s ministry (teaching and leading) past 16 years

Small group for college kids (boys and girls) for 2 years prior to children’s ministry

Missions leader organizing foreign and local giving for past 15 years

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

Youth teacher engaging me with the Gospel and genuinely caring and desiring to get to know me.

People in leadership encouraging me to use gifts.

Leading others and them get excited about what God is doing in missions, or in class through the Word and it growing in them.

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:

Strife in church with people serving along side you.

Being gossiped by church members and trying to destroy my witness.

Being told my gifts were wrong and having my spirit quenched by leadership
