You Are an Audrey!

You are an Audrey -- "I am at peace"





Audreys are receptive, good-natured, and supportive. They seek union with others and the world around them.



How to Get Along with Me





  • * If you want me to do something, how you ask is important. I especially don't like expectations or pressure


  • * I like to listen and to be of service, but don't take advantage of this


  • * Listen until I finish speaking, even though I meander a bit


  • * Give me time to finish things and make decisions. It's OK to nudge me gently and nonjudgmentally


  • * Ask me questions to help me get clear


  • * Tell me when you like how I look. I'm not averse to flattery


  • * Hug me, show physical affection. It opens me up to my feelings


  • * I like a good discussion but not a confrontation


  • * Let me know you like what I've done or said


  • * Laugh with me and share in my enjoyment of life






What I Like About Being an Audrey



  • * being nonjudgmental and accepting


  • * caring for and being concerned about others


  • * being able to relax and have a good time


  • * knowing that most people enjoy my company; I'm easy to be around


  • * my ability to see many different sides of an issue and to be a good mediator and facilitator


  • * my heightened awareness of sensations, aesthetics, and the here and now


  • * being able to go with the flow and feel one with the universe






What's Hard About Being an Audrey



  • * being judged and misunderstood for being placid and/or indecisive


  • * being critical of myself for lacking initiative and discipline


  • * being too sensitive to criticism; taking every raised eyebrow and twitch of the mouth personally


  • * being confused about what I really want


  • * caring too much about what others will think of me


  • * not being listened to or taken seriously






Audreys as Children Often



  • * feel ignored and that their wants, opinions, and feelings are unimportant


  • * tune out a lot, especially when others argue


  • * are "good" children: deny anger or keep it to themselves






Audreys as Parents



  • * are supportive, kind, and warm


  • * are sometimes overly permissive or nondirective
