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 decided to make the decision that I wanted to accept God for me, not because people wanted me to. I started having an urge to be accountable and truthful because I knew one day I had to face judgement. I wanted God to love and protect me because the enemy has been trying to destory me since I was a child.

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

Lewis Chapel Missionary Baptist, 3 years, Choir

Harvest Family Church, 14 years, children’s church

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

People loving on me and continually praying for me.

Individuals who knew I was not taking heed to their advice but kept encouraging me.

Finally, set under great leadership (Pastors) who were transparent, taught practical biblical principles, and were able to identify with real issues.

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:

Church hurt

People displaying charateristics one way in the church but another way outside.

Individuals making you feel as if you are not spiritual enough.
