You are an Ingrid -- "I am unique"
Ingrids have sensitive feelings and are warm and perceptive.
How to Get Along with Me
- Give me plenty of compliments. They mean a lot to me.
- Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
- Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
- Though I don't always want to be cheered up when I'm feeling melancholy, I sometimes like to have someone lighten me up a little.
- Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!
What I Like About Being an Ingrid
- my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level
- my ability to establish warm connections with people
- admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
- my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor
- being unique and being seen as unique by others
- having aesthetic sensibilities
- being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me
What's Hard About Being an Ingrid
- experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair
- feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved
- feeling guilty when I disappoint people
- feeling hurt or attacked when someone misunderstands me
- expecting too much from myself and life
- fearing being abandoned
- obsessing over resentments
- longing for what I don't have
Ingrids as Children Often
- have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original games
- are very sensitive
- feel that they don't fit in
- believe they are missing something that other people have
- attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc.
- become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood
- feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents' divorce)
Ingrids as Parents
- help their children become who they really are
- support their children's creativity and originality
- are good at helping their children get in touch with their feelings
- are sometimes overly critical or overly protective
- are usually very good with children if not too self-absorbed
"I was the shyest human ever invented, but I had a lion inside me that wouldn't shut up."
"Be yourself. The world worships the original."

This was a great 'test' huh?! Thanks for the link lol I forgot to give a link back to the blog I stole it from! BAH...
This seems like a such a great quiz:;) And it is great, I think, that you are an Ingrid. She encompasses the ethereal and the mysterious.;)))
By the way, I so recognize myself in everything, so I have to be an Ingrid too.;)
Very cool! I'll have to take the quiz when I get home and see who I am!! (It's blocked at work.. I guess they classify it under the "not working but wasting time" category.) Good thing they haven't blocked blogger yet. KNOCK ON WOOD.
Yep, I took the test and "an Ingrid" I am .:)))
Boy, it sounds as if I'm an Ingrid too. I see so many of those traits in me. I'll have to take the quiz later and confirm.
