Which General are you?

[dgan]

I dunno if this one has been posted on here yet. I hope it's not a duplicate. This is pretty good though.

I was a McClellan. Overanalyst, always outhinking himself, and never taking initiative quickly enough to gain advantage over his enemies.

Darn.

The Terminator
You scored 75 Wisdom, 56 Tactics, 74 Guts, and 37 Ruthlessness!
I have decided that you best fit the personality of the Terminator from T2. Rough and tough, not too bright, and nobody's killer, but he's just as obliged to shoot you in the knee. You fit the characteristics of a special forces soldier, so in lieu of the fact that the Terminator is not a combat general..... oh screw it, you're the terminator.




My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 88% on Unorthodox

You scored higher than 25% on Tactics

You scored higher than 93% on Guts

You scored higher than 22% on Ruthlessness

I was just wondering... how is this guy historic?

Ulysses S. Grant

You scored 90 Wisdom, 46 Tactics, 77 Guts, and 60 Ruthlessness!

Like you, Grant went about the distasteful business of war realistically and grimly. His courage as a commander of forces and his powers of organization and administration made him the outstanding Northern general. Grant, though, had no problem throwing away lives on huge seiges of heavily defended positions. At times, Union casualties under Grant were over double that of the Confederacy. However, Grant was notably wise in supporting good commanders, especially Sheridan , William T. Sherman , and George H. Thomas. Made a full general in 1866, he was the first U.S. citizen to hold that rank.

Sitting Bull--guerilla, but with a heart.

Well, guess someone didn't agree with my perspectives... not great for the ego. Of course, I was tempted to put in all the blood spilling options - but I tried to actually go by what I'd do if real lives were at stake. Not some theoretical excercise.

Guess you can't be an ethical general.

You know nothing about tactics or war. You are docile and cowardly and the mere thought of violence is enough to make you wet yourself. Hate to break it to you, but chances are very good that you're not General material.... not even BAD General material. Hell you're probably not even a productive member of society. Why are you even here? Don't you have a peace pipe to smoke, or a war to protest or something? So here's to you and to whatever naive country that lets you vote....
Leaders who share your beliefs include: Jaques Chirac and Gerard Schroeder

Not necessarily. I chose ethical options and got Sitting Bull. Of course, it does depend on your ethical framework, I suppose.

[Gwalchmai]

I stopped putting much faith in the results when I get "The Terminator" Yea thats some historical General you got there.

Indeed.

See, I think I probably answered the questions wrong. I imagined what would I do if I had to make such decisions... rather than imagining I was actually a general making such decisions.

Its' probably a good thing I'm no general... I don't think I could really condone widespread killing of anyone. That aspect of my rating proved accurate.

However, if I was in command... I'm sure that would place a whole different level of pressure and expectations.

I was George Washington.
64 Wisdom, 84 Tactics, 56 Guts, and 32 Ruthlessness

[aelfric]

I got Ulysses S Grant as well, don’t know whether that’s a compliment or not as all I know about him is what it said in the run down at the end of the test

[Hinata]

I got George MacClellan too . . . I guess that means Dgan and I are somewhat a like . . .but, no, I have way too much logic to be taking this test. . .

[dgan]

Hin, it just means we actually care about our troops and don't sacrifice lives for glory. Lives for victory, perhaps, but not for glory.

Of course, there is the argument that MacClellan cost the Union more lives in situations (such as the pursuit of Lee) by being too cute with his military strategy. But at least HIS troops weren't the ones that died.

In any case, maybe Colin Powell wouldn't want us, but at least we have a heart.

[chrystalized]

I'm like cowgirl, I'm like George Washington

[Margim]

Gave it another go in a different state of mind... thinking what I'd do if I actually was a general and had to make the hard calls...

Julius Caesar
You scored 59 Wisdom, 77 Tactics, 40 Guts, and 63 Ruthlessness!
Roman military and political leader. He was instrumental in the transformation of the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. His conquest of Gallia Comata extended the Roman world all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, introducing Roman influence into what has become modern France, an accomplishment of which direct consequences are visible to this day. In 55 BC Caesar launched the first Roman invasion of Britain. Caesar fought and won a civil war which left him undisputed master of the Roman world, and began extensive reforms of Roman society and government. He was proclaimed dictator for life, and heavily centralized the already faltering government of the weak Republic. Caesar's friend Marcus Brutus conspired with others to assassinate Caesar in hopes of saving the Republic. The dramatic assassination on the Ides of March was the catalyst for a second set of civil wars, which marked the end of the Roman Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire under Caesar's grand-nephew and adopted son Octavian, later known as Caesar Augustus. Caesar's military campaigns are known in detail from his own written Commentaries (Commentarii), and many details of his life are recorded by later historians such as Suetonius, Plutarch, and Cassius Dio.
