Okay, that was so weird. How did they get it right with two questions? Too funny.
I am an Ingrid (Bergman) and it was strangely accurate.
I can't imagine you ever screaming, cursing and stomping! You are so gentle.
I am a Katharine (Hepburn). It was pretty accurate but not completely. :D
I was a Bette! Now I know why I grew up enjoying watching her on tv and I still order her movies from Turner Classic Movies/Netflex.
I can recite All About Eve with the channel on mute! (smile) Just kidding sort of.
But the cursing and stomping is NOT my style but a good old friend of mine used to say, Lisa you can really pack a punch (not literally of course...I think :). I was often called the little rights activist by my older brother and by my husband (smile).
This was cute. I wish I knew all of you personally so that I could then relate the outcome of the quizz to you. I would love to know what Ingrid Bergman's read and I'd definitely like to know what Katherine's was because she was a real pistol! I enjoyed her and Spencer in Look whose coming to dinner and a host of others. Anyone recall the movie where they played as a legal couple on opposite sides of the case?
I'm an Ingrid and I'm amazed at the accuracy.
You are an Ingrid -- "I am unique"

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

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
Well I couldn't pick an answer on the first question because none of them accurately fit me. Ugh. But your Bette sounds an awful lot like me. LOL!
I'm gonna take the quiz. But I do sound like a Beete. No, I mean Bette!
Love, Debra
Ooops, no, I'm an Ingrid, and it was a little scary how accurate it was. I even printed out the results!
Thanks for a fun moment!
Debra
