[Egalitarian Thug]

3. Was it this one?

http://www.celebritytypes.com/big-five/test.php

I'm on a self-loathing trip at the moment, they said I was like Bill Clinton.

[applegrove]

4. At least you know what it means. And

the big dog has many qualities. I have no idea what sort of President Madison was. Was he even a Democrat?

[steve2470]

6. he was in the "Democratic-Republican" party...

which eventually morphed into today's Democratic Party.

[Egalitarian Thug]

13. He was a protege of Jefferson's, so I believe he was.

It's hard to judge those first half dozen Presidents, they were defining everything as they went. The whole concept of America was unique, no colony had ever before successfully broken away from its parent nation, and the concept of "consent of the governed" was a radical spawn of The Enlightenment, so none of them had any precedent to go by.

[njlib]

2. I had the exact same finding

and I've been smoking for 30 years!

[steve2470]

5. From what I've read, Madison was a decent president for his time

I got Madison also

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Madison

Of course, he was racist about Native Americans and blacks, and was a slaveholder. Father of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, so there's that....

[applegrove]

7. I‘m sorry I asked.

[steve2470]

8. it was pretty standard for his time...

which of course doesn't excuse it. FDR has his faults too.

10. Thomas Jefferson.

Who knew?

More likely to favor military intervention as a means of solving foreign policy problems.

: this is not true.

And the smoking thing is weird. I'm not against smoking. I smoke. I just hate it. I smoke alone so the smoke doesn't get on anyone else. I can't stand people smoking in my face or in the car with me. Gross.

And I'm apparently Neurotic. That's true.

And I do love Broccoli.

This thing works.

11. I am most like Thomas Jefferson.

"I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family, and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give."
