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

I was born and raised in a Christian home always been aware of God in my life , every step of the way God has been there even now he is with me

Esperance Presberterian church I was a Sunday school teacher at the age of 17

I remember as a young girl praying for a husband to love me for me and accept me for who I am, and a son who would be like his father and mine. I got that and so much more so much more. Ive been married for 27 years now has not been easy but its been an amazing life with my husband and my family. As for my son hes much more that I could have ever imagined , hes the perfect son , just like my dad and my husband and very successful and going places thank you Jesus

God brought me to this country at the age of 18. and has taken me from place to place and 5 months after I met my husband we were married love him to pieces. thank you Jesus.

becoming a teacher in the culinary and Baking field its the best I have come full circle , now I can mentor young chefs and I am able to give back to others hoping that they can see Christ in me without being an overbearing Christian

facing racism in a very professional world or it should be at least and being critised for caring about kids at risk

being told I would never amount to much becuase I am not smart or because my parents never went to college

being called a thief and having to fight to get my job back, but god gave me beauty for my ashes. and I learned to be still and know that god is in control
