Your Primary was ‘The Beaver’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, 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

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

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I grew up in a Christian home, but my faith became my own when I was 13. That is when it went from head knowledge to feeling a personal connection with Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Life Center Cda; connect table, worship team, children’s ministry.

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

Study abroad in Argentina: through this experience, God taught me a lot about myself and it was a key turning point in deepening my faith.

Working at summer camp. I grew up attending as a camper and then worked there several summers. Aside from being the place I came to know Jesus, it is also the place responsible for so much of my spiritual development and mentorship.

College: a time of big personal and spiritual growth for me.

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:

Growing up with a performance-driven, emotionally distant parent.

Perfectionistic tendencies/low self-esteem, not feeling accepted/loved.

Postpartum Depression and anxiety
