  • Multiple participants report getting similar results, such as JFK, Hitler, and Einstein, leading to humorous exchanges about their personalities.

  • Some participants question the validity of the quiz, suggesting that the selection process is flawed or arbitrary.
  • Humor is prevalent, with participants joking about their results and the implications of being compared to controversial figures.
  • Some participants express a desire to be associated with different leaders, such as Hilbert or Gandhi, rather than those they received.
  • Discussion includes reflections on the nature of leadership and the characteristics attributed to various historical figures.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

45 questions.

Could be worse :smile:

The risky behaviour thing is not true though.
 
The results of the test insulted me, so I won't post the pic. :devil: :biggrin:
 
I am Einstein. I help to invent the future of mankind.

Someone at another board, who also got JFK, said something very similar. :biggrin:

Sadaam? Castro? The Venuzuelan President, whatsizname.
 
I didn't answer truthfully. Instead, I tried to defeat it. I came up with Kennedy setting all the answers to strongly disagree and again with all of the answers setting all the answers to strongly agree. I tried again, this time I got Hussein. It selects leaders randomly.
 
Einstein.

Don't really see how he's a world leader though.

Nah, even worse.

I wonder what would happen if I was one of those people who actually take this kind of tests seriously. Gee. :biggrin:

Edit: Moridin, shut up ! Us Hitler personalities are supposed to keep that for themselves and meet together in a secret place! :biggrin: :smile:

That sounds a neat summation of Stalin too, that guy was so paranoid he'd kill a general or two because he thought them traitors, probably looked at him funny? And they say communism in practice is fascism with a different set of ideals, well if it's leaders are anything to go by I can well believe it.

The questions are random and there's more than 45 questions. Selecting strongly agree or strongly disagree to every question won't give you the same results since you didn't answer the same questions.

I'd imagine each question has a different + or - value with the total giving you your score, as you say different questions will give you a different score.

Anyway I'm sticking with JFK, Hitler only got to have sex with Eva Braun. Now all I have to do is not travel to Dallas, and not upset Elvis or The Mafia/KGB/Illuminati and I'm laughing :smile:

Well there's some rumours that he experimented with his bunk mates whilst in the army, but I tend to put this down to rumour mongering. No one who was sexually ambiguous would wear brown:biggrin:

Now, that's what's called an attempt to seal homosexuality in the vaults of hell. :biggrin:

Well I did it with 27, then 45 and got JFK. Since JFK had already been asigned to Schrödinger's Dog I wanted to test the output. I am not too unpleased to be assigned the same leader as Schrödinger's Dog :smile:

So far, I've seen Che, Hitler, Sadaam, JFK, Clinton, Lincoln, Einstein, Mother Teresa and Gandhi.
