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

Design Team

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Dr. Rohr encouragement

Raised in a loving home

Compliments from other people….both strangers and those I knew

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Being a shy, introverted child/teenager – sympathetic to those personalities now as I’ve grown into an extroverted introvert.

The time I vented in frustration to my mom about my friend and she heard me – now I am very careful about what I say and aware of who hears me.

Recovering from mono in college…had to get back into shape to play vball…teammates encouraged and supported me…makes me what to help others meet their health/fitness goals.
