Nancy blogged about this quiz that another blogger pointed out to her. I thought it was fun and pretty accurate about me:

You are a Marilyn -- "I am affectionate and skeptical."
Marilyns are responsible, trustworthy, and value loyalty to family, friends, groups, and causes. Their personalities range broadly from reserved and timid to outspoken and confrontative.
How to Get Along with Me
* Be direct and clear
* Listen to me carefully
* Don't judge me for my anxiety
* Work things through with me
* Reassure me that everything is OK between us
* Laugh and make jokes with me
* Gently push me toward new experiences
* Try not to overreact to my overreacting.
What I Like About Being a Marilyn
* being committed and faithful to family and friends
* being responsible and hardworking
* being compassionate toward others
* having intellect and wit
* being a nonconformist
* confronting danger bravely
* being direct and assertive
What's Hard About Being a Marilyn
* the constant push and pull involved in trying to make up my mind
* procrastinating because of fear of failure; having little confidence in myself
* fearing being abandoned or taken advantage of
* exhausting myself by worrying and scanning for danger
* wishing I had a rule book at work so I could do everything right
* being too critical of myself when I haven't lived up to my expectations
Marilyns as Children Often
* are friendly, likable, and dependable, and/or sarcastic, bossy, and stubborn
* are anxious and hypervigilant; anticipate danger
* form a team of "us against them" with a best friend or parent
* look to groups or authorities to protect them and/or question authority and rebel
* are neglected or abused, come from unpredictable or alcoholic families, and/or take on the fearfulness of an overly anxious parent
Marilyns as Parents
* are often loving, nurturing, and have a strong sense of duty
* are sometimes reluctant to give their children independence
* worry more than most that their children will get hurt
* sometimes have trouble saying no and setting boundaries

This was a popular quiz as I've seen like 10 other people do it on their blog now!
How accurate was it for you? Well, you said "pretty accurate", so I guess I can accept that!
I am also a Marilyn
Well it's not all me, but some of the points are dead on - and more are dead on, than way off.
I'm not from parents that are or ever were addicts or that neglected me (my parents are great people, are still married, and B and I see them at least a few times a week). I didn't "look to groups or authorities to protect them and/or question authority and rebel" as a child and I don't fear being abandoned. I'd like to think I don't overreact a lot, but that probably means I do.
I'm definitely saracastic, stubborn and tend to be bossy and I'd the rest of it is spot on.
