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 grew up in church, and gave my life to the Lord at a young age.

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

Hartford Assembly of God in Hartford, Il. Sunday school/ Wednesday teacher for preschool through highschool at various times. Youth leader. 2013-2015

Hartford Assembly of God in Hartford, Il. Youth worship leader 2014-2015.

New Rivers Assembly of God in Maryville, Il. Youth leader and part of the worship team. 2015-2017

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

I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus (water on the brain) before I was born. The doctors told my mom that I would never walk, talk, or do simple everyday tasks like feed myself. They strongly urged her to abort up until it was no longer legal to do so. I was born with no complications, and live a very normal life. I have a shunt for my hydrocephalus, but have only had one shunt revision, in 2002 while many people my age with hydrocephalus have had dozens.

Growing up in a Christian household.

Attending a Christian university for part of my college career.

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:
