What Mad Man Era Woman Are You?

I'm totally stealing this from Shanna who got it from Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else? Mad Men-era Female Icon Quiz ... at HelloQuizzy.




















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 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.

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.
