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

Born and raised in a Christian household and God has been at the focus throughout my entire life. I came to know Christ early in my age through the teachings of my parents. Ever since then, I feel like I have been serving and proclaiming God and his glory to the best of my ability.

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

Intern – Westminster Church, Gainesville, GA, 2 years

Youth Leader – Westminster Church – Gainesville, GA, current

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

I have grown with an amazing group of friends who are reliable and trustworthy.

I have amazing family who have disciplined me and taught me throughout the early stages of my life.

I honestly think that God has helped me grow through the work of his Spirit. He has helped mold and shape me in becoming the man I am today.

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:

I went to parties a few times and got drunk; this helped me realize that I needed God in my life instead of trying to replace him with something else.

I went to a church that I thought was reliable and strong in leadership but found out that was false; this lead me to the church where I am today and I don’t think I would be here without the fallout of the other.

I was underutilized on my high school basketball team and was upset; this eventually lead to me transferring schools and making one of the best decisions of my life.
