Danica had this quiz on her blog and it was kinda fun and interesting. I think this actually fits me for the most part. I don't know if I meander when I speak. Do I?
And I'm not sure how nonjudgemental I am. I guess for the most part, but I do struggle with it from time to time.
I love Audrey, too!

Soo...Kay..what do you think! I think yours was pretty darn close! :) I don't think you meander very much.
I don't think of you as anxious or being a worrier. All of the things that are hard about being Marilyn apply to ME! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe what you like part fits you, I think. I don't know about the assertive part.

ReplyDeleteI'm Marilyn - hmmm not sure I like it too much - interesting how a two question test can bring out things about your childhood and have them be true - not all but enough.
ReplyDeleteI love Audrey!!
ReplyDeleteI'm Ingrid. I was surprised at how well it matched my personality considering the test only consisted of two questions.
