Which Political Leader Are You Most Like?
What is your leadership style?
Every great statesman has a unique leadership style. Each reacts to an international crisis in a different way.
Some political leaders, like Winston Churchill (left), were forceful and outspoken. Others, like Thomas Jefferson (right), were quiet and worked behind the scenes. Despite different styles, both were eminently successful.
How do I take the test?
It's easy. You will be asked to make a series of four decisions, each one meant to determine a certain behavioral trait.
This is not a contest. This is just meant to be an entertaining way to examine your personality and see what great political leader you may have the most in common with. Best of luck! Enjoy – and tell your friends!

But my military profile was... General Clark. :) Nothing like learning by osmosis.
Proud to be an American.
Political leadership-Based on your answers: George Washington.

I think I'll print that web page out and find a nice frame for it. :)

I wasn't given a military leader, just Lincoln.

That's not a bad combination. And Teddy Roosevelt did more for our economy with the Teddy Bear than Bush has done in almost eight years now. :)

Political:
Anwar Sadat!
Leadership Attributes:
During a period when most Arab leaders were opposed to Israel on hard-line ideological grounds, Anwar Sadat was realistic. Sadat believed that negotiating with Israel was the path to peace and security. Sadat also carefully studied the domestic Egyptian political atmosphere to ensure that he had the necessary popular support to embark on negotiations with Israel. Sadat's astute leadership marked the beginning of an era of peace and stability between Egypt and Israel.

Military (I love this one!):
Omar Bradley!
Leadership Attributes:
Personally, Bradley was self-effacing and quiet. He was often overshadowed by the more flamboyant Patton and MacArthur — which suited Bradley just fine. But he was innovative in his conception of war. He admired William Tecumseh Sherman, and thought he was a master of battle movements. In fact, he thought Sherman was more important than the commanders of battle units in World War I.
Omar Bradley is my grandmother's first cousin. Ergo,
my first cousin twice removed. Maybe it runs in the family!
George H.W. Bush
&
General Wesley Clark
For the good of the Democratic Party, Obama must drop out - NOW! He is no longer a viable national candidate.
Military was Napoleon Bonaparte! :/
Leadership Attributes:
Napoleon was a brilliant planner. In fact, he set up an entirely new system for raising and training an army that revolutionized the field. He was not only a great general but a skillful diplomat, able to consolidate and extend power through treaties and political manipulation as well as on the battlefield. After defeating Sardinia and Austria in Italy, he made several gains through the use of treaties. He set up a friendly republican regime in Lombardy, a tactic he used on other occasions.
Leadership was Washington.
That was fun. Thanks, MA3!
Once in a while you get shown the light, In the strangest of places if you look at it right.
George Washington and Wes Clark. Two warrior-statesmen whose stunning records reflect that the best leaders know how and when and with whom to share leadership.
Thanks for the fun test, MA3!

Wes Clark could still secure America as a national security candidate.
Anwar Sadat and Teddy Roosevelt? That proves it. I'm completely mental.
In my case, it would be a fantasy all right.
