You Are a Bette!

You are a Bette -- "I must be strong"

Bettes are direct, self-reliant, self-confident, and protective.

How to Get Along with Me

• * Stand up for yourself... and me.


• * Be confident, strong, and direct.


• * Don't gossip about me or betray my trust.


• * Be vulnerable and share your feelings. See and acknowledge my tender, vulnerable side.


• * Give me space to be alone.


• * Acknowledge the contributions I make, but don't flatter me.


• * I often speak in an assertive way. Don't automatically assume it's a personal attack.


• * When I scream, curse, and stomp around, try to remember that's just the way I am.

What I Like About Being a Bette

• * being independent and self-reliant


• * being able to take charge and meet challenges head on


• * being courageous, straightforward, and honest


• * getting all the enjoyment I can out of life


• * supporting, empowering, and protecting those close to me


• * upholding just causes

What's Hard About Being a Bette

• * overwhelming people with my bluntness; scaring them away when I don't intend to


• * being restless and impatient with others' incompetence


• * sticking my neck out for people and receiving no appreciation for it


• * never forgetting injuries or injustices


• * putting too much pressure on myself


• * getting high blood pressure when people don't obey the rules or when things don't go right

Bettes as Children Often

• * are independent; have an inner strength and a fighting spirit


• * are sometimes loners


• * seize control so they won't be controlled


• * figure out others' weaknesses


• * attack verbally or physically when provoked


• * take charge in the family because they perceive themselves as the strongest, or grow up in difficult or abusive surroundings

Bettes as Parents

• * are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted


• * are sometimes overprotective


• * can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

That quiz was quick... but I was a Marilyn too.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

That's cool.
Did you spot any similarities because I really felt like this fit me almost to a T.

[hellolamppost17.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that quiz was scary accurate. I was kind of shocked that I was a Marilyn though. Who knew?

[shakensilence.livejournal.com]

I got Marilyn and while some of that stuff described me some of it was WAY off the mark. Especially the part about what I'm like as a parent. I have no problems letting my daughter go and do stuff. I'm not overprotective and I don't worry too much about her getting hurt. Though I will go into panic attacks if men talk to her or approach her in any fashion.

But that's what happens when you have a test that is only two questions long.

There are certainly some problems with reliability, but overall, I felt it portrayed me with 97% accuracy.

I'm a Marilyn.

You are definitely courageous and straightforward. This does suit you.

I found myself in quite a large number of these statements, actually.

[vimtastic.livejournal.com]

I got Audrey, and for a quiz with two questions, my result nailed me down pretty well surprisingly.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

That's cool!

I'm a Betty too! Betty hi five!

[snogged.livejournal.com]

WOO!

[spike7451.livejournal.com]

I got Bette too. :)

[snogged.livejournal.com]

*high five*

[jan-irving.livejournal.com]

It's not a perfect match, but I was mostly a Bette too.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I was surprised by how much of it actually fit. I'd say at least 97%.
