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 life was just not going well and though i tried daily to do right by people, i was still struggling and could not get out of my own way. I was speaking with a friend who is a godly man and he suggested that i try turning my life over to god. After some struggle, learning to speak to the lord regularly, reading/studying the bible, confessing my sins normally and engulfing myself in like minded people… My life started to change for the better and I gained a new outlook on life.

The Rock is the only place that i have served.

Elan was the friend that helped bring me to the lord, he has been a good friend of mine for a long time and was the best man in our wedding.

Church, listening to ministries and trying to apply those teaching to my life.

Small group; my attendance helps me to grow with like minded people.

Poisonous relationships, i have learned that it can be very difficult for someone going through hard times to talk about things. I have also found that people enjoy talking about themselves. I normally tend to ask people about things that are troubling them, then as we continue to talk we end up opening up to one another and and i can offer council if wanted/needed.

Seeking negative fulfillment or unfulfilling idols. I have in the past poured all of myself into work, tasks etc looking for fulfillment/satisfaction. When in reality only the Lord can provide that for me.

Loosely family, pouring too much of myself into my family’s problems took a very heavy toll on my at one point. I ended up having to eventually tell them that i would always be around and would always be there for them, but there come a point where they need to handle their own struggles.
