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 always grew up in church but I never really had a personal relationship with God until I went through a really hard time in my life and realized that I couldn’t handle that situation, or life, without Him.

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

Teacher/helper (children): New River Church, Lake Wylie, South Carolina, 4 yrs

Music (vocal): New River Church, Lake Wylie, South Carolina, 3 yrs.

Growth group leader (youth): Grace Family Church, Tampa, Florida, 6 months

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

Having leaders that are always encouraging me and building me up to grow me into a better person.

Having supportive friends and parents that are in church and encourage me in my faith.

Being loved on by the select few people who stayed during times where I was struggling.

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:

My best friend leaving me and lying about bad decisions that she decided to make.

Almost every time I moved somewhere new, I fell into a pretty bad depression.

Being a sensitive person, causing me to feel more deeply. So not being able to love on those who are hurting.
