I’m Grace.

And oh my goodness, I am a Bette (Davis). Had not seen myself that way, but the description is oh so me. At least as an adult, not so sure about the child.

I am definitely a Katharine!

JudithFebruary 6th, 2009 at 12:55

So far I have seen not a single Marilyn or Jackie. Maybe we’ve outgrown the type? I am thrilled to be your type, Palma!

AlisonFebruary 6th, 2009 at 16:11

I’m a Marilyn.

JudithFebruary 7th, 2009 at 09:43

This I am having a hard time believing! Did you read all the way through the questions? Tell the truth? To me Marilyn was terribly fragile and dependent on others’ opinions. I do not see you that way at all. If I did I would worry about you rearing Tilda!

AlisonFebruary 7th, 2009 at 14:43

Not fragile and dependent! Behold:

Marilyn — “I am affectionate and skeptical.”

Marilyns are responsible, trustworthy, and value loyalty to family, friends, groups, and causes. Their personalities range broadly from reserved and timid to outspoken and confrontative.

Etc etc. I emailed yu the full profile. Read through??? There were only 2 questions!! :)
