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 have been spiritual inclined my whole life, on a spiritual journey since I was 14 years old, seeking the truth and trying to find out how everything in this world works. This brought me into the arena of self-realization, thinking that this is the solution to all of the worlds problems. After this was all said and done, Jesus came and rocked my world and turned it upside down.

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

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

Teaching my first class to a group of people. I brought a lot of integrity and never want to mislead people, I care very much and want to isolate exactly the message that would be most effective for the group and season they are in.

Meeting groups of friends that really resonate with my soul has been so life affirming. Since becoming a christian I have yet to have this experience but friends that are like family are really important to me.

My first art show and realizing that I can impact people through art was very validating and life affirming.

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:

I’ve had a very hard battle with OCD. I have since been delivered after becoming a christian and realizing the source of this was demonic. I now have a very good understanding about mental health.

Losing my grandparents was very difficult. It sends me always into a truth seeking journey and a drive to understand God because of all the anxiety about the future.

My first relationship was difficult in many ways.

Wrapping It Up

Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

2. My Relationship with Others

  • Putting Your Spouse First
  • Your Kids Second
  • Everyone Else After those

3. Creating a movement for the kingdom of God.
