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

Growing up in a church centered house hold I was always exposed but it was when I went through my own experiences & especially college being on my own I strengthened my relationship with God and my own testimony of how He has been to me.

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

Youth ministry at Davie St. Presbyterian Church

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

Growing up under mu grandmother and close family, learning so much from them.

Watching the relationship w/my mother and father and seeing their commitment and sacrifice to God

Attending numerous HBCUs for all of my educational endeavors causing me to make lifelong relationships with people I love and admire.

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:

Feeling alone during a time of hardship not knowing how or who to turn to.

Having to make hard decisions on my own that would permanently impact my life.

Losing close family members such as my grandmothers and aunt to health issues having been so very close to all my family.
