I am George

It's a rare day when I engage in one of these silly quizzes, but I saw this at Naked Villainy and thought, What the hell. Strangely enough, I scored the same as my buddy Mike:







Which Great US President Are You Most Like?
created with QuizFarm.com
You scored as George Washington

1st President, in office from 1789-1797
Born: 1732 Died: 1799


George Washington


74%

Dwight Eisenhower


71%

Ronald Reagan


69%

Theodore Roosevelt


69%

John Kennedy


67%

Woodrow Wilson


62%

Franklin Roosevelt


57%

Abraham Lincoln


55%

Thomas Jefferson


48%

Harry Truman


45%

Lyndon Johnson


38%








Mike and I aren't exactly at the same place on the political sliding scale, which makes the similarity of our results rather creepy. Why do I have a sneaking suspicion that everyone scores as George Washington? (Or maybe it's just us INTJs...)

  1. If it's any consolation, I scored Dwight Eisenhower.

  2. As a fellow INTJ I got Dwight Eisenhower though I am not American and I'm sure that affected my answers.

  5. Ronald Reagan, with 67%. Interesting.

    My number two result was George Washington, with 62%.

    I also forget which four letters sum up my personality type, but I'm sure Kevin will be able to tell me.

  6. Charles,

    You're definitely an off-the-scale INTJ like me.

    I/E = No contest. You're a writer, a scholar, and an all-around introspective/philosophical person. Definite "I." I assume your taste for the occasional social gathering places a lot of stress on occasional, as is true for me.

    N/S = Your creative bent and the fact that you run Liminality is all that needs to be said here. "N" all the way.

    T/F = You can occasionally be a hardass, as can I. Principles count more than weepy, spineless emoting (or so a "T" would say regarding "F" people).

    J/P = Your highly organized life (and the fact that you might deny it looks organized from your point of view) is strong evidence of your J-ness. Anyone who writes "to-do" lists or develops some sort of five-year plan as opposed to drifting along on a wave of "who knows what's next?" is a J person.

    Conclusion: very INTJ.

    This might mean that, when you get good and relaxed (or good and drunk?), your shadow side, ESFP, comes out and you can go nuts. Not on a Mel Gibson scale, perhaps, but the nuttiness is there, waiting.

  9. Well, Kevin, in regards to your more recent posting, I tend to think--like you--that these quizzes are for the birds. That being said, they can be interesting, and this one was interesting. I think you're entitled to put up a quiz like this on your blog--just remember that this is the masculine blogging equivalent of a woman reading her horoscope!

    Well, I enjoyed your post, and for the heck of it, I went and took the quiz, too, even though I am not an American. The funny thing was that I predicted the result ahead of time: Eisenhower.

    By the way, when I was a boy, I must have read encyclopedia articles on most of the US presidents. I know more about past US presidents then I do about past Canadian Prime Ministers.

  10. I wouldn't normally comment on a quiz, but since it seems to annoy you:

    I was Theodore Roosevelt.
