Another Scipio.
You scored 72 Wisdom, 70 Tactics, 44 Guts, and 44 Ruthlessness!
Some of the ethical questions would make interesting threads in the Backroom. I found myself agreeing to all sorts of odious acts once I started thinking like a soldier.

Genghis Khan

Looks like we got alot of genghis around here.
Vercingetorix
You scored 75 Wisdom, 48 Tactics, 49 Guts, and 49 Ruthlessness!
Leader of the Gauls, a chieftain of the Arverni. He was the leader of the great revolt against the Romans in 52 BC. Julius Caesar, upon hearing of the trouble, rushed to put it down. Vercingetorix was, however, an able leader and adopted the policy of retreating to heavy, natural fortifications and burning the Gallic towns to keep the Roman soldiers from living off the land. Caesar and his chief lieutenant Labienus lost in minor engagements, but when Vercingetorix shut himself up in Alesia and summoned all his Gallic allies to attack the besieging Romans, the true brilliance of Caesar appeared. He defeated the Gallic relieving force and took the fortress. Vercingetorix was captured and, after gracing Caesar's triumphal return to Rome, was put to death.

Colonel Tarleton
You scored 56 Wisdom, 87 Tactics, 52 Guts, and 45 Ruthlessness!
Tarleton... well, what can I say for a man who kills the wounded on the battlefield? Tarleton was a great tactician and cavalryman, and although he wasn't quite as evil as his counterpart in "The Patriot", Tarleton's morals were very definitely somewhat skewed. Now what does that about you?
Tarleton arrived in America with General Cornwallis and was a member of the patrol that captured General Charles Lee at Basking Ridge, N.J. He served with William Howe at Brandywine, Germantown, and Philadelphia. Tarleton went to Carolina as leader of a mixed force of cavalry and infantry and distinguished himself at Charleston and in the Carolina campaign before he was overwhelmed by Daniel Morgan at Cowpens. After the battle of Guilford Courthouse, he retreated into Virginia and was active in the Yorktown campaign. However, Tarleton is best known for stabbing the bodies of dead and injured revolutionaries to ensure that they wouldn't fight again.
No matter how I tried to twist some of the answers, I always end up with Scipio, which I hate!!! :devil:

Rommel?? ~:confused:
I thought it was wrong so I took it again, and I got Rommel again. How strange...
Why couldn't I get a general I liked, like Sitting Bull, Vercingetorix, or Hannibal? Or one I respect, like Chingis Khan?
HTML Code:<table align="center" cellpadding="20"> <tbody><tr> <td align="center"> <font size="5"><b>Horatio Gates</b></font><br> You scored 51 Wisdom, 52 Tactics, 62 Guts, and 39 Ruthlessness! </td> </tr> <tr> <td>
You, like General Gates, have guts, but in the end you fail because you
don't fully comprehend the art of war. Gates was originally a success
because of the greatness of the men beneath him. But in the end, he
failed because he didn't match their caliber. As the old saying goes,
if you fail to plan, then plan to fail. But that being said, during
Gates' prime, he was compared to Washington. Gates was bold and brazen
and, one way or another, found a way to be an asset to the American
Revolution.
<p>American Revolutionary general, b. Maldon, Essex, England. Entering
the British army at an early age, he fought in America in the French
and Indian War and served in the expedition against Martinique. Later
he resigned from the army, and returned to America to settle in what is
now West Virginia. At the start of the American Revolution, he joined
the colonial cause as a general and played a part in training American
troops outside Boston. In 1776, Gates was given a command in the north
under the supreme command of Philip J. Schuyler, whom he replaced as
commander in the Saratoga campaign. His army overwhelmingly defeated
the British under General Burgoyne, and the Continental Congress
appointed Gates president of the board of war. His great victory was
aided by the superb leadership of his generals Benedict Arnold and
Daniel Morgan. At the time Gates was considered a serious rival of
General Washington, and the aim of the so-called Conway Cabal was to
make Gates commander in chief. Gates's part in this unsuccessful plan
has never been fully determined. In June, 1780, he was ordered south to
command in the Carolinas. In the Carolina campaign poorly organized
supply, badly trained troops, and hasty planning paved the way for a
disgraceful defeat at Camden. He was plunged into deep disgrace and was
superseded by Nathanael Greene. </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <img src="http://is0.okcupid.com/users/708/870/7088714327834954884/mt1117652672.jpg"> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <br><br><br> <table cellpadding="20"> <tbody><tr> <td> <span id="comparisonarea">My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people <i>your age and gender</i>:<blockquote><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="4"><tbody><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="17"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="133"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>11%</b> on <b>Wisdom</b></td></tr><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="32"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="118"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>21%</b> on <b>Tactics</b></td></tr><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="102"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="48"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>68%</b> on <b>Guts</b></td></tr><tr><td valign="middle"><table bgcolor="black" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#b2cfff" height="20" width="35"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td><td bgcolor="white" width="115"><a href="http://www.okcupid.com"><img src="http://is2.okcupid.com/graphics/0.gif" alt="free online dating" border="0"></a></td></tr></tbody></table></td><td valign="middle">You scored higher than <b>23%</b> on <b>Ruthlessness</b></td></tr></tbody></table></blockquote></span> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <table cellpadding=20><tr><td>Link: <a href='http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=13827291814577368116'>The Which Historic General Are You Test</a> written by <a href='http://www.okcupid.com/profile?tuid=7088714327834954884'>dasnyds</a> on <a href='http://www.okcupid.com'>Ok Cupid</a></td></tr></table>

Hannibal
You scored 61 Wisdom, 82 Tactics, 62 Guts, and 37 Ruthlessness!
Carthaginian general, an implacable and formidable enemy of Rome. Although knowledge of him is based primarily on the reports of his enemies, Hannibal appears to have been both just and merciful. He is renowned for his tactical genius.
Other leaders like yourself include: Robert E. Lee, Joan of Arc, and Alexander the Pretty Good
The General I most admired is Rommel and lo and behold I am
Erwin Rommel
You scored 47 Wisdom, 70 Tactics, 38 Guts, and 32 Ruthlessness!
"You're most comparable to German Field Marshall Erwin Rommel in the fact that you have very strong tactical skills and morales."
You scored higher than 6% on Wisdom
You scored higher than 55% on Tactics
You scored higher than 4% on Guts
You scored higher than 11% on Ruthlessness
I suspect my admiration of what Rommel would do will influence this result.

Charles De Gaulle
You scored 80 Wisdom, 57 Tactics, 39 Guts, and 32 Ruthlessness!
Charles De Gaulle was a French military leader and statesman. Prior to World War II, he was mostly known as a tactician of tank battles and an advocate of the concentrated use of armored and aviation forces. He was the leader of Free France in World War II and head of the provisional government in 1944–1946, while hiding in Britain.

Well, I took a shot in the rear on tactics, but I dig the wisdom.
Scipio was the best!. Whooped Hannibal on his home turf and kept the moral high groud at all times. That, is the master's art of generalship.

But this is suspicious:
Leaders who share your beliefs include: Jaques Chirac, Vladimir Putin and Gerard Schroeder
Is someone only like missing the hole Chetchenya (sp?) war here? The dictorship warning on him and former boss of KGB (or something about Russian intelligence service)?
King Fahd : You scored 59 Wisdom, 55 Tactics, 39 Guts, and 42 Ruthlessness!
?!!
Erm.. I'll re-take the test to see if I can be someone..erm..whatever..
Scipio
You scored 61 Wisdom, 82 Tactics, 44 Guts, and 45 Ruthlessness!
Meh, the test didn't have the options I'd have chosen. But I got Scipio... The problem is, for all the ruthlessness questions I'd have answered differently depending on whether I thought the war justified or not. Perhaps 80-95 percent ruthless if a good cause and personal, otherwise 0 percent ruthlessness...
And what's the point of the question if I have a blog ~:confused:
Will try again, see if I can get 100 percent ruthless, 0 percent tactical and 0 percent wisdom and who I become then...
They were about registration part..Quote:
And what's the point of the question if I have a blog
Ok, I tried again. I answered like an impetuous, bloodthirsty, ruthless, tacticless general. I got Eichmann...
Edit: yet another attempt. Tried to be peace-loving, forgiving, defensive. Got hippie...
I think the test is a little unclear in some questions. For example: "will you retreat or attack" in a number of questions. I need to know my own strength, who has had the momentum so far in the war, as much info as possible about enemy's strategical strength, and so on in order to choose. If I know little I tend to choose not to attack, or at least send in recon first.
@LeftEyeNine: Ah, I saw second time I made the test that it was optional...

You scored higher than 38% on Guts
You scored higher than 75% on Ruthlessness
Scipio? He was a slow, infantry bound dofus.Quote:

Even so, Carthage was on the ropes, and a battlefield victory would not save it.
