You Are 68% Lady |
Overall, you are a refined lady with excellent manners. But you also know when to relax and not get too serious about etiquette |
Now of course this quiz was taken purely for amusement purposes. But I wonder what we mean when we say someone is lady-like or not, or to what extent. Won't that vary across time, space, cultures, etc? Okay incoming blast from the past: I wrote my M.A. thesis on the ways in which women construct their personal identity and understanding of 'womanhood' more generally speaking. Not the same thing as lady-like but in the same very broad vein. Any readers/fellow-bloggers interested in commenting about what they think is lady-like and what isn't?
For now, I'll bask in the glory of being defined as refined, possessing excellent manners, and not too uptight/serious. Although I think I do get uptight at times about manners/protocol related things but I reckon that isn't just about being a 'lady'. Is it just me or is the picture of the "lady" in my results a bit disturbing - kind of like a slut in a bad '80s film? Yikes....okay there goes the basking! Back to work.
[Hey Asad: why don't you take this quiz too, just for pure kicks :-)?]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, i have been told:
***You Are 36% Lady***
You tend to make up your rules of etiquette, throwing all conventions aside.
And while you try to be a lady (sometimes), your behavior is often quite shocking.

so, basically, i'm a lout!! :)
