Saw this over at Janet's. However, for some reason it wouldn't accept Melbourne as a city (pfft!) so Janet kindly redid the test with my answers (thanks bud!!) and here is the result:

You Are an Ingrid!

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.
But don't be surprised if I disagree with you.

• * Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
This could apply to everyone I think.

• * Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
I wonder what I did with them?

• * 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 we all?

• * Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!
Because I might cry!

What I Like About Being an Ingrid

• * my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level
eh?

• * my ability to establish warm connections with people
hmmm

• * admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
don't we all?

• * my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor
I've never thought of myself as creative.

• * being unique and being seen as unique by others
One of me is more than enough!

• * having aesthetic sensibilities
Does this mean I know what I like?

• * being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me
Usually.

What's Hard About Being an Ingrid

• * experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair
Yep

• * feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved
Yep again

• * feeling guilty when I disappoint people
Always

• * feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me
If it's about something important.

• * expecting too much from myself and life
Not any more. I've given up on expecting anything.

• * fearing being abandoned
I'm over that now

• * obsessing over resentments
Obsessing is too strong a word. Overstates the case.

• * longing for what I don't have
That '59 Les Paul :)

Ingrids as Children Often

• * have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original games
eh

• * are very sensitive
Possibly, though I think most children are like that.

• * feel that they don't fit in
'Cos it's true.

• * believe they are missing something that other people have
The grass is aalways greener....

• * attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc.
Come on over Jimmy and I'll attach myself to you :)

• * become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood
Oh yeah!

• * feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents' divorce)
My parents are both still well and truly alive and still married to each other.

Ingrids as Parents Not applicable

• * 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
