Too Funny!! Or Is It?

I am a sucker for online quizzes, especially when someone tells me I'm just like someone fab.  But, this quiz was a little too good, if you know what I mean.  And if you don't know, I'll tell you anyway.  This quiz hit home and hard:

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

You Are a Jackie!

(((cha-ching!!))

You are a Jackie. "I do everything the right way."

(((ouch.)))

Jackies are realistic, conscientious, and principled. They strive to live up to their high ideals.


How to Get Along with Me

* Take your share of the responsibility so I don't end up with all the work.

* Acknowledge my achievements.

* I'm hard on myself. Reassure me that I'm fine the way I am.

* Tell me that you value my advice.

* Be fair and considerate, as I am.

* Apologize if you have been unthoughtful. It will help me to forgive.

* Gently encourage me to lighten up and to laugh at myself when I get uptight, but hear my worries first.


What I Like About Being a Jackie

* Being self-disciplined and able to accomplish a great deal

* Working hard to make the world a better place

* Having high standards and ethics; not compromising myself

* Being reasonable, responsible, and dedicated in everything I do

* Being able to put facts together, coming to good understandings, and figuring out wise solutions

* Being the best I can be and bringing out the best in other people


What's Hard About Being a Jackie

* Being disappointed with myself or others when my expectations are not met

* Feeling burdened by too much responsibility

* Thinking that what I do is never good enough

* Not being appreciated for what I do for people

* Being upset because others aren't trying as hard as I am

* Obsessing about what I did or what I should do

* Being tense, anxious, and taking things too seriously


Jackies as Children Often

* Criticize themselves in anticipation of criticism from others

* Refrain from doing things that they think might not come out perfect

* Focus on living up to the expectations of their parents and teachers

* Are very responsible; may assume the role of parent

* Hold back negative emotions ("good children aren't angry")


Jackies as Parents

* Teach their children responsibility and strong moral values

* Are consistent and fair

* Discipline firmly


(((Watch out now!!)))

  2. I was a Katherine. It was a cute-fast quiz:) I'm glad i found you. We've been clasically homeschooling for 7 years- we do what i refer to as Lifeschooling. I'm reading some CM books now! I feel we are being led to take more in from nature and to have more time to reflect. I'll have to read more later:) Blessings! Amanda
