Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, 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

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

At 16 at a youth group I was singing songs to God with the teens and then and there accepted the Lord as my Saviour because never had I felt such love from Him.

Edenvale Baptist: Sunday School teacher 6 years, and aftercare supervisor, 4 years

All Nations, Orapa: Toddlers group carer and leadership secretary, 4 years

His People Gaborone: Discipleship Events Coordinator 5 years and leader of prophetic ministry, a few months

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

Learning how to lead others without guilt

Taking accurate notes during meetings

Taking risks to do what I think I am not able to

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:

Ministry abuse

Manipulated by my leaders to do more for nothing

Unable to say no to what I am asked to do
