This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I was given a solid Christian education and both my parents are teachers (preschool & highschool). I am more comfortable with and prefer one on one situations rather than a large group.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I enjoy giving more than receiving. Nothing makes me happier than playing a part in making someone’s day or seeing them smile.

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I’m a middle child, a peacemaker. I see more than just black and white in situations and look for the root causes of things. I am very empathetic due to surgeries and chronic pain beginning as a teen. I know that hurting people hurt themselves or others and sometimes don’t know how to help themselves or where to get guidance or counseling.

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
