Your first name of Ida has given you a quick, analytical mind. Any criticism from others causes you to retaliate cuttingly in self-defense. Routine, monotony, and the responsibility of looking after details can have a similar effect. However you must beware of driving yourself to exhaustion as a substitute for relaxation. You feel happy as long as headway is being made, but as soon as you are obstructed or your individuality and freedom of action are restricted, you experience an intense nervous reaction. In your dealings with people you place great importance in living up to one's word. Moods of depression often result as well as outbursts of temper, caustic remarks, or a belligerent attitude towards everyone, especially those closest to you. Once you have given your word and undertaken a commitment, you are completely steadfast in following through in spite of any regret or frustration you may later experience in doing so. The effect of the nervous tension can appear in childhood as stuttering. Routine, monotony, and the responsibility of looking after details can have a similar effect on you, as you are a person who desires change, travel, and new experiences.
