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

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

Unwise decisions and behaviors led me to Christ. Traumatic experiences and searching for Peace in all of the wrong places when all the while still feeling empty led me to become a Christian.

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

Receiving love and support from others

Becoming a mother first and foremost

Unhealthy encounters

Drugs and alcohol

Getting myself in a terrible car accident (dui)
