I Love a Good Quiz, Especially if it Likens Me to a Mad Men-Era Woman of Substance.

And this one just takes a second. The Quiz just a few questions and I love nothing better than being told that I'm like Katharine Hepburn! I've taken the liberty of highlighting the particular traits that are most relevant to my bitchin' life.

You Are a Katharine!

You Are a Katharine!


You are a Katharine -- "I am happy and open to new things"

Katharines are energetic, lively, and optimistic. They want to contribute to the world

  • * Engage with me in stimulating conversation and laughter.
  • * Appreciate my grand visions and listen to my stories.
  • * Don't try to change my style. Accept me the way I am.
  • * Be responsible for youself. I dislike clingy or needy people.
  • * Don't tell me what to do.
What I Like About Being a Katharine
  • * being optimistic and not letting life's troubles get me down
  • * being spontaneous and free-spirited
  • * being outspoken and outrageous. It's part of the fun.
  • * being generous and trying to make the world a better place
  • * having the guts to take risks and to try exciting adventures

What's Hard About Being a Katharine
  • * not having enough time to do all the things I want
  • * not completing things I start
  • * not being able to profit from the benefits that come from specializing; not making a commitment to a career

  • * feeling confined when I'm in a one-to-one relationship
Katharines as Children Often
  • * are action oriented and adventuresome
  • * drum up excitement
  • * prefer being with other children to being alone
  • * finesse their way around adults
  • * dream of the freedom they'll have when they grow up

Katharines as Parents

  • * may be too busy with their own activities to be attentive
And I totally just got this quiz from another site and I am so cross-eyed from wading through my Google reader (hovering at 1000+ posts for two weeks!) that I can't remember who's site I got it from. Forgive me, beautiful woman who will be known as "An Ingrid Bergmann" to me for the rest of my blogging days! Feel free to flay me alive in the comment section. Wait, never mind: I realized that I couldn't forget this comely lass even if I were to wade through even 2000+ posts! Sassy Britches (aka An Ingrid!) was my conduit to this fun little detour.

  6. You can call me Indrid! Fun quiz-- so... so... MAD MEN! I love it! (God, if only those fashions were back in season. I'm all for the idea of wearing dresses whose skirts take up at least 6 yards of fabric. The better to twirl in!)
