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

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

[E]xperience

Became a believer at the age of 5 and was baptized. I remember from that point well into my teens hearing God’s voice and having a relationship with. Fell away for a year or so when my mom was not able to take me to church due to her being sick. At around 14 years old my neighbor offered to take me to church with her. I didn’t have any dress clothes all I owned were jeans and T-shirts which I would never be allowed to wear to the church of christ I was raised in, but decide to go anyways and was accepted and loved right away. Rededicated my life and was baptized again Due to it was a different denomination (Baptist). I don’t consider my Christian walk perfect but God has had a hand on it do the many trials of my life.
