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

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.

[E]xperience

I was born into a Christian family, brought up in Biblical truths; but my intimate and sincere encounter with Jesus happened when i was in my 20s

Sunday School Teacher for 4 years

Leader of various bible study and ministry groups for 5 years

Missions mobilizer for 3 years

My life in Cuba for almost 10 years. I left home to study Medicine in Cuba, but those were the years that I experienced and enjoyed Jesus intimately in my life

I worked with a missions organization for 1 year, reaching out to refugees and immigrants. I learnt a lot, shared the love of God with so many people, and got to use my profession as a doctor and my talent/skills as a teacher.

My time in PJ, while studying A-levels. The people i lived with really impacted my life towards loving and serving God.

My 7-years relationship with a man who eventually came out of the closet as a homosexual.

The difficult and adverse living conditions in Cuba.

My battle with low self-esteem and body-shaming due to my overweight size and dark skin color.
