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

I accepted Christ at the age of 6 years old. Growing up I always tried to do my best, be good, and perfect like I perceived was expected. When I was around age 13, with lots of familial change, responsibility as the oldest, and a perceived pressure to be perfect, I entered a period of major depression and anxiety eventually leading to suicidal thoughts around 16 and 17. I ventured into college classes early searching for friends and wanting to leave high school. There I found a student ministry that poured into me. Although I started going to Bible studies and reading the Word, I was building my foundation on theology. A year later this would come crashing down with the help of unhealthy non-Christian friendships. The Lord used this time of lowness to draw me back to Himself and into a new church and student ministry. Now He has grown me more than I thought possible and I hope to keep building up young women to understand His love and provision.
