Political Quiz List. Are you a Quiz Whiz?

[hcallega]

This is the best test I've seen pertaining to French political parties. It's in French, so it requires either a knowledge of the language or Google translation (just right-click and hit "translate to English.") This quiz is particularly good in that it gives a variety of options and doesn't try to apply American/British issues and responses to France.

Unsurprisingly, I'm closest to the UDI and MoDem.

Most Similar - Jimmy Carter

 Jimmy Carter was born to a Georgia family of modest means. He was very intelligent, conscientious, and reserved. He largely avoided scandal, but sometimes stuck to narrow ethical principles at the expense of the larger picture. He also, after the initial luster of being "not Richard Nixon" wore off, struggled mightily to build rapport and affection among his underlings and the American public alike. On the world stage he was pummeled for the hostage issue in Iran and was accused of naivete in several areas. Carter drank rarely, if ever, while he was President.

You are also similar to Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was born to a very poor family in Kentucky, moving frequently as a youth until he settled in Illinois. He naturally kept to himself, yet when in the company of others he was quite engaging. His supply of jokes and anecdotes was almost endless. He was also well-read and quite intelligent. He applied himself diligently to his work, often well into the evening. He also possessed a dark emotional current that would probably be diagnosed as clinical depression in our time. He never enriched himself personally from his political position, but could err on the side of making excuses for his subordinates.

You are also similar to Barack Obama.

Barack Obama was born to a middle-class mother in Hawaii, but grew up without knowing his father. He moved a couple of times as a child. He is known as having introspective traits and has written multiple books on his own life and the American political system. Socially he is adept but not extremely outgoing. He is also very deliberate and slow to express anger or discomfort, and known for trying to seek consensus in his interactions. In fact, one criticism has been that he is overly trusting of others' intentions. Compared to his previous Democratic predecessor, Obama seems to have avoided personal or ethical lapses in his judgment.

You are least similar to Franklin Pierce.

Franklin Pierce was born to a family of comfortable means in New Hampshire. He was confident and outspoken, yet sometimes a bit too eager for the approval of others. He was a heavy drinker for most of his life, eventually dying of cirrhosis. His family life was also marred by tragedy. As President he tried to administer efficiently, dividing appointments amongst numerous competing factions of Democrats. Besides his drinking, there were few hints of ethical impropriety. Pierce was well-traveled, but rather myopic and narrow in his worldview. In spite of his New England roots, he consistently blamed northern abolitionists for the start of the Civil War.

"You stand on the left.

Sorry, the test does not locate any party that fits your ideas."   

boo


took the test again, slightly different answers:


"You stand on the left.

But left no party really fits your opinions.
Suddenly, the party of which you are the less distant:

UDI
but you are more open on issues related to changing mores."

Most similar

Andrew Johnson grew up in a very poor family in North Carolina, and later Tennessee. His family was considered "white trash" and he held a lifelong grudge against those who he considered upper-class. However, he went out of his way to give assistance to old friends and to men of humble means. While he was reserved, he possessed a powerful speaking voice and was respected as an orator. His profane temperament and self-importance ensured his isolation as President -- a situation that Johnson exacerbated with his obstinacy in the face of overwhelming Congressional opposition.

You are also similar to Ulysses S. Grant.
Ulysses S. Grant was raised in southern Ohio in a poor family. He used the Army to escape his origins. He was a quiet, often irascible man. Yet he was a very hard worker, and a diligent taskmaster. He was also a hard drinker and smoked several cigars a day. While he was personally ethical, his associates were embroiled in an embarrassing number of scandals during his time as President. He had a number of strange personality quirks and superstitions. Grant was not refined or worldly, but his performance during the Civil War leaves absolutely no doubt as to the brilliance of his mind.

You are also similar to John Quincy Adams.
John Quincy Adams was the son of President John Adams, and thus was never lacking for material comfort or connections. However, much like his father, he was naturally lacking in social charm and was quite withdrawn. He himself admitted that he was overly set in his ways and personality. Yet he was studious and hard working, and even after his Presidency remained involved in public life for many years. Adams was prone to anxiety, depression, and mental instability, and even expressed suicidal ideation on a couple of occasions. He could never shake rumors that he had made a "corrupt bargain" to win the Presidency from Andrew Jackson in 1824.

You are least similar to Franklin Pierce.

Your match is -- Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln was born to a very poor family in Kentucky, moving frequently as a youth until he settled in Illinois. He naturally kept to himself, yet when in the company of others he was quite engaging. His supply of jokes and anecdotes was almost endless. He was also well-read and quite intelligent.

He never enriched himself personally from his political position, but could err on the side of making excuses for his subordinates.

You are also similar to Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton grew up in lower-class circumstances in small-town Arkansas. He dealt with an alcoholic stepfather for much of his childhood and honed his qualities of agreeability and personal influence. He was one of our most outgoing presidents, genuinely enjoying the presence of other people and the campaign trail. He was also a Rhodes Scholar. He had a tendency to bend the truth and finesse his definitions, even by the standards of a politician. He was also an infamous womanizer, to his own detriment, and had other small scandals littered throughout his political career.

You are also similar to James Garfield.
James A. Garfield was raised in poverty in rural Ohio after his father died. Yet he overcame this upbringing to become a remarkably lettered man. He was able to write in Latin with one hand and ancient Greek with the other, both at the same time. He was quiet and modest, yet very agreeable. He was the type of man to hug friends when he ran into them, or to touch people's shoulders as he talked. He also had a bit of a neurotic streak, suffering periods of depression. He also saw foreboding visions in his dreams. Strangely, given these traits, he actually was assassinated.

You are least similar to Richard Nixon.
Richard Nixon grew up in near poverty in rural California, laboring in a strict household. He disliked social occasions and could often be quite awkward, even in small groups. Nor did he go out of his way to please people. He was shrewd rather than bookish. He was a fantastic poker player and political strategist. Yet he was also prone to distrust and outright paranoia. It was unusual for him to forgive or overlook those who had slighted him in some way. His presidency is obviously noteworthy for the Watergate scandal it produced. He wrote extensively on foreign policy in his later life.

President from 1977-1981

You are also similar to James Madison.
James Madison was born into a family of comfortable means in Virginia. He was an intellectually brilliant man, instrumental and the writing and passage of the U.S. Constitution. He was intensely interested in the philosophical questions of political power and theory. He was quiet, yet forceful in his opinions. He was willing to consider all sides of an issue before making a decision, and was sometimes accused of indecisiveness. What Madison lacked in public charisma, he made up for with an intense work ethic and behind the scenes consensus building. He also was not attached to any major scandals in his time.
You are also similar to Barack Obama.
Barack Obama was born to a middle-class mother in Hawaii, but grew up without knowing his father. He moved a couple of times as a child. He is known as having introspective traits and has written multiple books on his own life and the American political system. Socially he is adept but not extremely outgoing.

Compared to his previous Democratic predecessor, Obama seems to have avoided personal or ethical lapses in his judgment.
You are least similar to Warren G. Harding.
Warren G. Harding was born to a family of comfortable means in rural Ohio. His salient characteristic was his affability. He made friends quite easily and was always ready for a good time. He was not an intellectual. For someone who became President, he was remarkably prone to cronyism and often lacked the work ethic for the job. This famously led to the Teapot Dome scandal. He was a notorious carouser and a womanizer. He also had psychological demons, having suffered a nervous breakdown at the age of 24. His body never underwent an autopsy after his sudden death in San Francisco, while still President.

Most Similar - Chester A. Arthur

Chester A. Arthur was the son of an itinerant preacher, moving so much throughout Vermont and New York that political opponents accused him of being born outside the United States. In many aspects he had a moderate, unremarkable personality. He was agreeable without being overly credulous. He was a sensible, down to earth man when it came to his thinking. However, he was also a heavy drinker. Although he was notorious for graft earlier in his political career, as President he pushed a sweeping reform of the civil service. Mark Twain wrote of Arthur, "No duty was neglected in his administration, and no adventurous project alarmed the nation."

Similar: Harry Truman

Harry Truman largely grew up in rural and small-town Missouri. His family struggled financially. He was well-read but had a very rural-tinged accent, outlook, and demeanor. He also had a famously hot temper. He wasn't the most outgoing of people, yet he was affable and very loyal to old friends. He was an early riser and worked very hard throughout his life. Truman understood people very well, forming an immediate distrust of the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin after World War II and acting accordingly. Truman had a definite taste for whiskey, but not to the extent that it affected his work. He also tended to place people from Missouri in high positions, and some of them abused this trust.

Similar: Andrew Johnson
Andrew Johnson grew up in a very poor family in North Carolina, and later Tennessee. His family was considered "white trash" and he held a lifelong grudge against those who he considered upper-class. However, he went out of his way to give assistance to old friends and to men of humble means. While he was reserved, he possessed a powerful speaking voice and was respected as an orator. His profane temperament and self-importance ensured his isolation as President -- a situation that Johnson exacerbated with his obstinacy in the face of overwhelming Congressional opposition.

Least Similar: George W. Bush
George W. Bush was born into an elite family and largely grew up in Texas. He was a competitive, outgoing man. Not renowned for his intellect or verbal ability, he did possess a certain cunning which confounded his political opponents. His daily routine was highly scheduled and he took his health and fitness very seriously. He had a severe drinking problem as a young man, leading to total abstinence as he got older, and was known to have complicated feelings about his father. It's possible that Bush brazenly lied in the run-up to the Iraq War, though he also may have suffered from an episode of confirmation bias.
