Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Lion’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

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

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

After my mom and dad broke up my uncle stepped in and became the father figure in my life and taught me A lot about working with my hands and to always help anyone who is in need

Not having my dad around most of my childhood taught me how to figure out problems on my own

Being raised as an only child helped me to keep myself busy even now that I am grown it help me to be able to find things to do at work when I am done with the project that I am currently working on

My mom and dad being divorsed when I was so young. I know how it affected me and I can relate with them when that have gone through the same thing

Being raised by just my mom and grandma I think I missed alot of life skills at a younger age that I had to learn later on.

Being bullied all through school I think helped me to be able to take criticism at work and use it to better myself rather than get hurt by it
