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
Raised a Christian, found a supportive & challenging community at age 20, starting hearing the Holy Spirit at age 21 which lead me to my first missions trip, which then lead me to pursue the wine industry as a vessel to hear people’s stories and speak encouragement into them.
Eastside Christian Church, Anaheim, CA
RockHarbor Church, Costa Mesa, CA
Reunion Church, Santa Ana, CA
Church community in college
Serving abroad and in the church
Experiencing a different culture living in Australia
Succumbing to culture’s expectations for financial success
Passivity within relational conflict
Anorexia at age 19, gave me what I believe to be my first actual understanding for God’s grace, and allowed me to speak into other’s lives as they struggled with similar issues.
