Do I have her eyes?

I saw results of the following quiz posted over on Brew Knits. Jamie is a Grace Kelly, and in reading the description, I thought it fit me pretty well. But when I took the quiz, I turned out to be a Bette Davis. Oy! This hits pretty close to home! How do those quiz-makers do that - nail someone so well from the answers to just two questions?

My result for Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else? Mad Men-era Female Icon Quiz...

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.

It's a grey and leaden day, but that's okay, because after a morning and early afternoon of homeschooling and graphics work, I get an afternoon and evening to myself! While my guys are off having fun, I hope to finish plying, then skein and wash the first 8 oz. of alpaca, do a little dye job on some other homespun, and get the guest room ready for Rick's mom.
