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 was convicted of my sin and became a follower of Christ at age 10. I was baptized. I rebelled some in my early teen years, then repented and became more mature in my faith.

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

New Vision – nursery, preschool, children’s ministry for 10 years

President of Youth Alive in high school, led classmates in Bible studies

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

I had an older friend who encouraged me to share the gospel with friends and even strangers. She sparked a love for sharing my faith.

God’s providence in the circumstances of leading me to my husband

Attending New Vision – I learned so much and became more grounded and confident in my identity in Christ

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:

Panic attacks (first negative, but God used for his glory and my growth)

My mom was a teen mom and I was raised mostly by my Grandmother. God has done an amazing work in mine and my mom’s relationship in the past few years. She is my spiritual mentor now.

My dad stood me up and left on the night before he was supposed to walk me down the aisle (long story – he was married to a manipulative woman). I learned so much about forgiveness and God as my father through the situation and the aftermath of that situation.
