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

I was born into the Presbyterian Church in 1972 and always new the Lord. I was going to become a missionary or a Chiropractor and the summer of 1994 I went to Mo Ranch a Presbyterian Church camp to work for the summer as a summer staffer. That summer my life changed forever it was the beginning of the end that started in 2011 when I heard Jesus call my name on the side of a curb drunk and he asked me do you love me? I said yes he also asked do you love your neighbor as yourself and I cried because I didn’t love myself. That day I turned my life back over to Jesus Christ and on 4/9/2012 I stopped drinking by the grace of God!
