Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in Christian church and Christian school, and was saved at an early age. However, I did not fully appreciate my personal relationship with God until my early twenties.

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

Bible Center Church / Nursery / 2 years

Bible Center Church / FUEL Student Ministry (7th grade girls small group leader) / 1 year

Bible Center Church / Young Women’s Bible Study teacher and host / 6 months

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

Getting connected with the children and youth ministries (Nursery/FUEL) at Bible Center Church

Joining the BCC Young Professionals group from which rose my weekly Young Women’s Bible Study

Becoming a Registered Dietitian for WVU Medicine

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:

Experience losing appreciation for my personal relationship with God during college.

Experience working with underprivileged children with multiple comorbidities through research initiates with Marshall University and my professional role with WVU Medicine.
