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

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

in 2000, during teen church, there was a seminar there and we made a celibacy pact, and from there on I decided to give my life to Christ and work with him. 21 years ago

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

Living faith church Nigeria 2000-2010 ( Choir)

Christian Fellowship international Nigeria- campus fellowship 2002-2007( dance group)

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

Growing up in a loving family where my mother instilled in me from an early age the importance of serving God, and pulled me into the CHurch fold, whilst I proved to be a little delinquent teen, shaped me life tremendously

Being in a marriage that has taught me how to exercise all the fruit of the Spirit and has made me into a more complete woman today

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:

Having a child who was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 4, made me develop stronger compassion and sensitivity for persons living with disability and overall health challenges and this has birthed a resolve to trust God more for the littlest and simplest of things
