Personality test, and mothering styles...

You Are An INFP

The Idealist You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world. Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships. It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close. But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop. You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.

What's Your Personality Type?

The tuned-in mother (INFP)

Aware, astute, and understanding, the INFP mom is sensitive to her kids' feelings and needs. Responsive and helpful, she tends patiently to those needs as they arise. But she's comfortable letting her kids follow their own course and make their own choices, offering insight to head off trouble along the way. The INFP takes vicarious pleasure in watching her kids enjoy childhood and is happiest creating pleasant, memorable times for them.
Stay-sane tip: You function at your best when you have long blocks of unstructured time — time to deal with the unexpected, loll around with your baby, and pursue creative projects.

I would have to say that this fits me perfectly! I definitely do need time to "loll" around! :-)

Found the links to get this info over at Mommy Life. Hi Barbara!

The Giver

You strive to maintain harmony in relationships, and usually succeed.
Articulate and enthusiastic, you are good at making personal connections.
Sometimes you idealize relationships too much - and end up being let down.
You find the most energy and comfort in social situations ... where you shine.

You would make a good writer, human resources director, or psychologist.

The Protector

You live your life with integrity, originality, vision, and creativity.
Independent and stubborn, you rarely stray from your vision - no matter what it is.
You are an excellent listener, with almost infinite patience.
You have complex, deep feelings, and you take great care to express them.

You would make a great photographer, alternative medicine guru, or teacher.

I am a (homeschool) teacher, but "alternative medicine guru?'
I like your results better! :)

You use lots of colorful language and expressions. You're quite the storyteller!

This has absolutely nothing to do with your post. :)
There was an article about a family with an Angelmans Syndrome in our local paper. I thought you might be interested in reading it.
