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.
- Yes. I'm a huge fan of compliments. As long as they're genuine, the words you say to me matter. Words, in general, matter (hello, I blog daily).
- * Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
- I was torn between striking this. Don't most people need some sort of encouragement? I feel like I have enough ego that I don't need any help valuing/loving myself out of a pure sense of necessary self-worth. I could be wrong though. Thoughts?
- * Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.
- YES! I think this is my spiritual gift.
- * 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.
- Hit or miss.
- * Don't tell me I'm too sensitive or that I'm overreacting!
- EVER EVER EVER.
What I Like About Being an Ingrid
* my ability to find meaning in life and to experience feeling at a deep level
- I'm so deep :P
- *my ability
- * my ability to establish warm connections with people I find this is something I (personally, not as an Ingrid) can turn on and off. If I really like you, then yes.
- * admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
- * admiring what is noble, truthful, and beautiful in life
- Nicely articulated. I very much agree.
* my creativity, intuition, and sense of humor- Yes.
- * being unique and being seen as unique by others
- Unique? I hate this word. But yes, I do feel like one in a million. But seriously.
- * having aesthetic sensibilities
- I'm still uncertain what this means. Maybe I do, maybe I don't.
- * being able to easily pick up the feelings of people around me
- I agree. Perceptive, but not necessarily reactive to them.
What's Hard About Being an Ingrid
- * experiencing dark moods of emptiness and despair
- Yes, more often than I care to admit.
- *feelings of self-hatred and shame; believing I don't deserve to be loved
- Not really ever.
- * feeling guilty when I disappoint people
- Or when I make a decision that I don't know the outcome to. Or something that might affect someone else but was in my best interest.
- * feeling hurt or attacked when someone misundertands me
- Didn't I just blog about this? Uncanny.
- *expecting too much from myself and life
- Never.
- * fearing being abandoned
- Not really; I feel like this is pretty dramatic for me.
- * obsessing over resentments
- Hit the nail on the head.
- * longing for what I don't have
- Definite infinite wish for more.
Ingrids as Children Often
- * have active imaginations: play creatively alone or organize playmates in original games
- Yes
- * are very sensitive
- I don't think I was a very sensitive child. But on second thought... Thoughts?
- *feel that they don't fit in
- I felt like a leader as a little girl, something I wish I had continued as I grew older. I'm not sure what changed that. Maybe lack of involvement in leadership-oriented activities (student senate, college organizations).
- * believe they are missing something that other people have
- I never really wanted to be anyone else growing up; looking back, I was a lot cooler than I felt at the time.
- * attach themselves to idealized teachers, heroes, artists, etc.
- Yes.
- * become antiauthoritarian or rebellious when criticized or not understood
- Still do.
- *
feel lonely or abandoned (perhaps as a result of a death or their parents' divorce) - Never had any traumatic events with which I could associate any of these feelings.
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

And in other news, today is the first day ever, in my life, that I have used bleach. We have white bed linens and I washed them. They smelled like the old Gumby and not the new Strawberry Fields (those are the names of old apt./new apt.)
I want to know what your quizzes said, too! Do you agree with them?
