#1 Gift, Teaching (90%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Something will strike me during choir practice and I’ll start enthusiastically describing the works of God. Or when working with children, if there is a hard-to-understand spiritual concept, God will give me an object lesson to help make it easier for them to grasp.

#2 Gift, Prophecy (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Maybe not as in future-telling, but truth-telling. I seem to frequently find insights in Scripture that I’d never seen before.

#3 Gift, Giving (75%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
I understand that everything I have is the Lord’s and try to spend it accordingly. I do not like to spend money on myself if I see a better use or need for it.

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

Everyone Else After those
