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

Came to know Christ at an early age through my Grandmother, but drifted away from my faith as a teen/young adult. Came back to Him at a low point in my life (divorce) because He never gave up on me and kept sending people to encourage me.

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

Choir member, Tenor singer in a Gospel group

Sunday School Teacher (Older Adults / Teens) and Sunday School Superintendent ,

Deacon and Men’s Fellowship President

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

My Godly Grandmother, S. R. Fry’s mentoring me as a child.

Success in high school wrestling and college academics. Thirty nine year career in Psychology

Thriving in a stable marriage with my soul mate and wife for the last seventeen years.

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:

Struggling academically and socially at times as a child and early teen.

Victory over vandalism, nicotine addiction, alcohol problems, depression and even a few suicidal periods in my youth.

Overcoming the devastating effects of two adult divorces , the second one involving three children.
