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
I grew up in church and I had experienced God growing up; however, I did not have an intimate relationship with Jesus. It wasn’t until I entered college that I encountered a college ministry group. From there, I helped form a small Christian Bible Study on my campus and I would encourage others to come.
Los Angeles CA, College ministry, 2 years
Meeting the college missionary Melanie who helped me learn how to serve and discover my relationship with God.
Meeting my close friend Sonia who I showed kindness to and through our friendship, she joined a church and got baptized.
Speaking in tongues for the first time after being baptized by the Holy Spirit.
My dad struggling with alcoholism.
Being in multiple relationships which caused me to question my worth and compromise my purity.
Feeling lonely and experiencing a lack of quality friendships.
