You are a Dominican!
You live an authentic life and keep true to yourself and your beliefs. You value your friendships and you form very deep familial bonds with people (even with those who aren't related by blood). You're generally easy going and, whether you're introverted or extroverted, you don't have trouble making friends. You tend to take on the burdens of others, however, and that can sometimes lead to extra stress in your life. Earthly things like money and possessions bring you little true joy - that comes from the love you share with the world.

More information about The Dominicans
The Dominicans were founded by Saint Dominic in the 13th century. St. Dominic was born Dominic de Guzmán in the year 1170 in Caleruega, in the Kingdom of Castile, Spain. He was very intelligent and spent years studying theology and the arts and eventually joined a Benedictine order. During a trip to France, he learned of the Albigensian heresy and dedicated himself to fighting it by preaching and living the Gospel through poverty. He debated these heretics and they could not defend themselves, as there is no defense against the truth, and so many of them converted back to the Catholic faith. Today there are about 6,500 Dominican friars working in over 100 countries. Thanks, St. Dominic!
