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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

As a child I got to understand that God’s love is unconditional especially by getting the constant reminder that he gave us his only begotten son to safe us.

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

N/A

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

God giving me a chance to pursue my education till the undergrad level in spite of the challenges my Mother faced as a single parent.

I got job opportunities that led to my current career growth and great work experience. This has been life transforming.

God saved my life when I got involved in a road accident where a life was lost back in 2017.

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 Mother got very sick back when I was in high school. I was very shaken as I was close to losing her. I thank God for healing her and giving her a chance to continue living.

My sister and I got separated as siblings when our parents separated. I was greatly affected as we were both kids but I am grateful to God that I now have an opportunity to see and interact my sister whenever I would want to.

I had a female boss who bullied me and projected a lot of negative energy towards me. I was able to deal with this challenge by reminding myself that God had a purpose for me and He believed in me.
