You Are a Grace!
You are a Grace -- "I need to understand the world."
Graces have a need for knowledge and are introverted, curious, analytical, and insightful.
How to Get Along with Me
* Be independent, not clingy
* Speak in a straightforward and brief manner
* I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts
* Remember that If I seem aloof, distant, or arrogant, it may be that I am feeling uncomfortable
* Make me feel welcome, but not too intensely, or I might doubt your sincerity
* If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place
* don't come on like a bulldozer
* Help me to avoid my pet peeves: big parties, other people's loud music, overdone emotions, and intrusions on my privacy
What I Like About Being a Grace
* standing back and viewing life objectively
* coming to a thorough understanding; perceiving causes and effects
* my sense of integrity: doing what I think is right and not being influenced by social pressure
* not being caught up in material possessions and status
* being calm in a crisis
What's Hard About Being a Grace
* being slow to put my knowledge and insights out in the world
* feeling bad when I act defensive or like a know-it-all
* being pressured to be with people when I don't want to be
* watching others with better social skills, but less intelligence or technical skill, do better professionallyGraces as Children Often
* spend a lot of time alone reading, making collections, and so on
* have a few special friends rather than many* are very bright and curious and do well in school
* have independent minds and often question their parents and teachers* watch events from a detached point of view, gathering information
* assume a poker face in order not to look afraid* are sensitive; avoid interpersonal conflict
* feel intruded upon and controlled and/or ignored and neglectedGraces as Parents
* are often kind, perceptive, and devoted
* are sometimes authoritarian and demanding
* may expect more intellectual achievement than is developmentally appropriate
* may be intolerant of their children expressing strong emotions

I have never, ever, not even once, in my life compared myself to Grace Kelly. (Has anyone?) But I must say, other than that, this quiz is fairly accurate concerning how I act and think.

Well, for once we got the same one! I'm a Grace too. After reading your post, I could tell that would be what I'd get and I did. Most of it fit and a couple things were way off.

I can out an "Ingrid" but I had a hard time answering the questions. I was a mix of two both times. I guess that really does make me an ingrid... unique.
I have to say that I'm surprised I didn't get the same result as you. I seem to do that a lot. For example, I also got Elinor Dashwood in the "which Jane Austen character are you?" There have been others duplicate quiz results also, but I didn't log them in my diary, so I couldn't tell you what they were. =)
