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

Growing up in a Christian home surrounded by Godly parents, family and friends

Being guided by many Godly teachers and growing through serving in the church

Management and leadership training, study, conferences, seminars and experience

My husbands Alzheimer’s disease journey and death which brought me closer to God as my unfailing comfort and strength in those turbulent exhausting sad years.

Being part of a church that experienced a huge,painful split. We stayed. Not easy but it gave me a passion for preserving and building unity In The church

Being alone during my husbands care and death. Needing to manage my home, finances, life in this new world. Spending long evenings alone. going to church alone. Not fitting in the ‘couples’ world we had been part of for over 50years!!
I have new empathy and awareness of those ‘loners’ in the church
