I took an online quiz (link below) and I'm a 'Bette'. I'm impressed! Now if only I had that voice.....
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.
- What I Like About Being a Bette
- * 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.
- * 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
- * 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
- * are often loyal, caring, involved, and devoted
- * are sometimes overprotective
- * can be demanding, controlling, and rigid

I'm an Ingrid. I think she's gorgeous so I'm pretty chuffed. What is it with these things? They're addictive! :)
I know!
I have a gelding named 'Im Impressed'. Just struck me. : )
I probably could get Bette's voice if I smoked a couple of packs a day and consumed a fifth of whiskey along with them! Can you have a 'whiskey voice without these two ingredients?
I'm a Marilyn...what a funny test! I kind of like being a Marilyn, although I think I've already lived longer than her.
Probably you could have a whisky voice without those two ingredients but that would almost be cheating or really unfair that you didn't partake to get the voice. :)
I can see you as a Marilyn! You know, I often see myself as the 'broad' with the cigarette in one hand and the glass of whiskey in the other. But I don't smoke, nor do I particularly care for whiskey. Blows that image. : )
