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

Briefly attended Bible study as a 5 year old, early childhood was raised mostly by paternal Grandmother who was a Christian, watched Billy Graham on television, felt intense connection to the Holy Spirit as a young child, until moving in with my Mother at age 7, lived primarily secular lifestyle for next 45 years. Repented, confessed, and accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior in September of 2018 after suffering through some extremely difficult family issues and situations that made me realize just how helpless I was, trying to cope with everything on my strength and willpower. Jesus entered my heart once again and I was immediately filled with the Holy Spirit. My focus and attention since that time has been committed to studying and learning as much as possible about Jesus Christ, the Holy Bible, and the Lord’s plan for my life.
