Nobody every accused me of wanting to be a hero. Would have preferred some different options for answers tho.

Scipio

You scored 66 Wisdom, 70 Tactics, 53 Guts, and 55 Ruthlessness!

You scored higher than 58% on Wisdom

You scored higher than 62% on Tactics

You scored higher than 37% on Guts

You scored higher than 69% on Ruthlessness

So I am a wise, ruthless tactician who is lacking in guts.

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


Now this is who I want to play against! [:D]

A lot of Scipios so far. Maybe we are attracted to WiTP because of these traits?

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?

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.' [:'(]

"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."

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

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.

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.
