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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was dealing with a severe depression and there were two leaders at the community center who continued to tell me about Jesus. One night I knew that it was time and they helped me pray to accept Christ.

New Life Christian Fellowship – worship team and youth leader for 10 years

Thrive Church – worship team, youth ministry, production team, first impressions team for 4.5 years

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

A mission trip to Chicago where I worked with young people in a neighborhood experiencing severe poverty

A backpacking trip to Pictured Rocks

Studying overseas in Spain

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 was raped

My parents did drugs during my childhood

I dealt with severe depression that started when I was a young teenager
