I’m Ingrid
I’m usually pretty curious about these tests and their results as they can be pretty accurate so when I read Michelle at Boulderneigh’s post about her test I decided to give it a try. Here’s the results, even though sometimes they bring up thoughts that you don’t want to admit or actually never really realized about your personality. I sure don’t like to think of myself as sensitive, but really I think I may be, though inwardly. Interesting though… If you take it and post the results on your blog, let me know so I can come and see them!
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.
- * 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 misundertands 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

Until more people take this quiz, I won’t know how many possible results there are – fascinating! Although I’m a quarter Swedish, I’m not Ingrid; how well do you think this pegged you? And in case it is pretty accurate, as mine was, here’s a heartfelt compliment:
• You truly are creative and it shows in your stunning photography and beautifully crafted cards.
Thanks Michelle! That’s very sweet. 😀
I’d say that it’s pretty accurate, even though I don’t like the “wimpier” qualities. I think I tend to have a tougher shell and a soft middle, where most of this comes true.
I am also wondering how many options there are, we shall see. Hopefully other people will play along!
Well, so far I’ve heard of two Bettes (me and my “blog twin”), a Marilyn Monroe, an Ingrid (you), a Katherine Hepburn, and a Grace Kelly. Funny thing is, I’m not much of a movie viewer, so I know very little about these stars!
That was Fun!
I am a Katharine.
I put it all on my blog.
I was Katherine Hepburn and it fit pretty darn well. I didn’t save it to publish though :-/. I may have to go back and do it again.
