Link: Test quote: Erwin Rommel You scored 51 Wisdom, 82 Tactics, 43 Guts, and 24 Ruthlessness! You're most comparable to German Field Marshall Erwin Rommel in the fact that you have very strong tactical skills and morales. However, Rommel lost in Africa despite the fact that his logicians had told him time and time again that the English were planning to shut off his supply lines. Rommel lost North Africa, because the English shut off his supply lines. The moral of this story... Listen to your logicians. And guard your damn supply lines! But that being said, Rommel was one of the greatest strategic and tactical minds of our day. Had he overrun Egypt (which was a definite possibility at the time), World War II may have turned out significantly differently then it did. ... My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 9% on Wisdom You scored higher than 90% on Tactics You scored higher than 9% on Guts You scored higher than 0% on Ruthlessness Hehe, logistics were never my strength [;)] Now this line might create some harsh reactions on this board, I guess [:'(][:D] quote: Other leaders like yourself include Patton and MacArthur. Unfortunatly you have to register, but I just made up some stats out of my mind and it worked - well, maybe someone called 'dummy' might get some weird emails [:'(]

Chief Sitting Bull You scored 51 Wisdom, 65 Tactics, 64 Guts, and 32 Ruthlessness! You'd make a decent guerilla fighter. You are a tactical genius and you have the balls to back it up with some follow through. But that being said, you are most likely unwilling to torture an enemy soldier for information, because through all of the thick buffalo hides and that huge f*cking headdress, you have a heart. Chief Sitting Bull rose to prominence in the Sioux warfare against the whites and the resistance of the Native Americans under his command to forced settlement on a reservation led to a punitive expedition. In the course of the resistance occurred the Native American victory on the Little Bighorn, where George Armstrong Custer and his men were defeated and killed on June 25, 1876. Sitting Bull and some of his followers escaped to Canada, but returned (1881) on a promise of a pardon and were settled on a reservation. In 1885 he appeared in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, but his championship of the Native American cause was not at an end. He encouraged the Sioux to refuse to sell their lands, and he advocated the ghost dance religion. He was killed by Native American police on a charge of resisting arrest. Other leaders like yourself include: Francis Macon

General Custer You scored 58 Wisdom, 57 Tactics, 65 Guts, and 55 Ruthlessness! You're reckless... a little like Custer. Make sure you know what you're up against before you charge into battle. But, that being said, Custer was one of the more successful generals of his day. He was a graduate of West Point and one of the more senior officers in the Union army. Custer had a distinguished career until his untimely demise at Little Bighorn. I don't know if I agree with this...

Before I took the test I guessed I would be George McClellan...and wha-llaa... George McClellan You scored 73 Wisdom, 65 Tactics, 40 Guts, and 39 Ruthlessness! Like General McClellan, you're smart enough to know what tactical decisions to make. However, the problem with McClellan is that he could never sprout the balls to act on his information, and in the end, that's why Geoge McClellan is only a sidenote in the history books.

THIS is funny: A Hippie You scored 58 Wisdom, 35 Tactics, 24 Guts, and 14 Ruthlessness! 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, Vladimir Putin and Gerard Schroeder

Hoplosternum -> RE: OT: Which historic General are you? (9/1/2005 4:23:32 PM)
Great Test [:D] Here's my rather disappointing results. George McClellan You scored 66 Wisdom, 61 Tactics, 31 Guts, and 39 Ruthlessness! Like General McClellan, you're smart enough to know what tactical decisions to make. However, the problem with McClellan is that he could never sprout the balls to act on his information, and in the end, that's why Geoge McClellan is only a sidenote in the history books. And.... You scored higher than 63% on Wisdom You scored higher than 48% on Tactics You scored higher than 1% on Guts You scored higher than 17% on Ruthlessness And if you like Tests like these you can try some of a more Philosophical nature below. Battleground God and Morality Play are pretty interesting [:D] Philosohical games Edited for some spelling

Scipio here also. You scored 68 Wisdom, 68 Tactics, 38 Guts, and 52 Ruthlessness! You scored higher than 69% on Wisdom You scored higher than 63% on Tactics You scored higher than 8% on Guts You scored higher than 58% on Ruthlessness Nobody every accused me of wanting to be a hero. Would have preferred some different options for answers tho. Gah. Slow day. I think I'll have Thai for lunch. -F-

Tom Hunter -> RE: OT: Which historic General are you? (9/1/2005 5:10:58 PM)
Tarleton You scored higher than 26% on Wisdom You scored higher than 90% on Tactics You scored higher than 3% on Guts You scored higher than 58% on Ruthlessness Though I doubt this test says very much about anyone taking it. And what is the difference between Guts and Ruthlessness? Or Wisdom and Tactics for that matter? Did Grant have guts because he took lots of casualties? Or was that ruthlessness? Did he have no guts because he could not eat red meat? or no ruthlessness? And how much do we really know about Tarelton?

WhoCares -> RE: OT: Which historic General are you? (9/1/2005 5:29:43 PM)
While I might be just as well wrong, this might give you an example of the difference between Guts and Ruthlessness: Take the first question regarding running into a vietnamese patrol that surrenders while you are on an important mission behind enemy lines. If you answer 'kill them' then it will always increase your 'Ruthlessness' rating. However, if you decide to continue with your mission, independent whether you kill them or not, it will up you 'Guts' rating. As somebody already pointed out there are several questions where you wished for more options and for me this was one of them - 'Stop mission as the enemy will know that I am around no matter whether I kill them or not - might just take a little longer when I kill them.' [:'(]

Well, as former officer in Finnish Defence Forces...we tend to lean heavily into follow me-leadership.

Skyros -> RE: OT: Which historic General are you? (9/1/2005 7:29:25 PM)
I guess this shows in my current bloody game with Jason. Ulysses S. Grant You scored 70 Wisdom, 57 Tactics, 63 Guts, and 54 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.

FeurerKrieg -> RE: OT: Which historic General are you? (9/1/2005 11:37:12 PM)
Scipio You scored 70 Wisdom, 87 Tactics, 53 Guts, and 54 Ruthlessness! You're most simillar to Scipio in the fact that you're smart and ruthless. Scipio beat Hannibal by luring him back from Western Europe (where he was crushing legion after legion of Roman soldiers trying to gain support from local tribes) by laying seige to his home country of Carthage. Hannibal returned to defend his home and was defeated at the Battle of Zama. Ruthless, but it worked.
