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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I was saved at a very young age, around 4 years old. I remember briefly attending a small, country Nazarene church and came back from Sunday School to my grandmother’s home where I prayed to accept Christ on my own.

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

Bible Center Church, Chas., WV: Children’s Nursery (worker and facilitator) for over 20 years; Outreach Committee (10+ years); Choir (5+ years); White Glove (1 year); Community Group Leader (5+ years)

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

My family – all of them in some way brought me closer to the Lord

Youth Group at church – many years of camp, etc.

College and Career group at Bible Center and several wonderful Wednesday night classes

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 own mistakes in life where lessons have been learned
