Which world leader are you?

[Gods Slayer]

It's a game. The initial choice appeared to be between Obama and Putin, but I ended up being Angela Merkel. Your turn, try it:

1. Obama n/t

[Depaysement]

2. I got the President nt

[Petrushka]

3. [** blush **] See what choosing to ride a bear in my spare time got me --->

Congratulations, you're Vladimir Putin! Putin is often looked down upon due to his brashness and unwillingness to compromise. You share similar qualities with Putin but not to the same extent. You are brash when you need to be because more often than not people need to be told when they are wrong, otherwise they will continue to falter. You're unwillingness to compromise derives from the love you have of those who will have to pay consequences for your decisions. These qualities make you a strong and steadfast leader.

6. What can I say?

17. Wedding entertainment for an oligarch's daughter?

Looks like it.

[SamKnause]

4. President Obama. n/t

5. Most of the choices in the answers were not me.

[Gods Slayer]

7. No President Hobbit?

[hobbit709]

8. I doubt Gandalf wants the job.

[grossproffit]

9. Merkel.

Congratulations, you're Angela Merkel! The qualities that made Angela Merkel chancellor are the same that guide you in life. Merkel's experience is based on her ability to study. Like her you were most likely a very good student in school. Merkel herself was at one time a scientist. It's this logical reasoning and analysis of the world that makes her such a strong leader and you are no different. There's no pussyfooting around with a person who makes decisions with logic and reason. These leaders have the greatest effect on the world as it is the most direct.

11. This is pretty stupid, "riding a bear shirtless"- Our resident Putin lovers should take it though!

[Xyzse]

12. I think I got Putin just because I said I would rather Ride a Bear Shirtless

Watching soccer is boring - to me, I rather be playing
Doing my job - is doing my job and not my free time
Golfing - meh, only now and then...

Now Riding a Bear Shirtless! That satisfies both my willingness to go shirtless and sense of adventure.
I kid around.

I'm not a fan, but his facial expressions now and then are funny as heck to me.

13. Francisco Franco

Chevy Chase was so wrong.

[Punkingal]

14. I got Obama...

I chose the ride a bear shirtless choice, so that must not be the only Putin question.

[Orangepeel]

15. WHY do I read the comments?!

I should know better, but it is still an unpleasant surprise when I read about people being disappointed that they don't better align with Putin.

[closeupready]

16. Putin. ?

lol, not sure about that

[yuiyoshida]

18. shinzo abe

um, right.. hahahaha!

[smirkymonkey]

19. David Cameron?? WTF?

"Congratulations, you're David Cameron! You and PM Cameron share similar qualities but what you have most in common is your ability to communicate. Being a leader is pointless if you aren't able to appropriately convey your views and demands to your people. Understanding and awareness are key factors for you when communicating to people. How can someone understand you if you don't understand them?"

[Katashi_itto]

21. You limey Bastard!

[smirkymonkey]

26. I think it was the communication thing and that I am not patriotic.

However, I am a bit of an Anglophile, so there's that.

[Katashi_itto]

45. :)

[Gods Slayer]

25. Nobody has drawn Hollande or Xi Jinping yet

I wonder if they were on offer?

[smirkymonkey]

27. I know, very strange and narrow assortment there.

Where are all the Scandinavians, Africans, Asians, South Americans, etc?

[Gods Slayer]

30. But then again, who would want to be Bouteflika or Juha Sipilä?

[madokie]

20. Angela Merkel for me too

[Gods Slayer]

22. How many Merkels are we now?

[forest444]

28. Same here.

Although I would have much preferred Justin Trudeau.

I'd like to know the selection of present world leaders they were using for reference. My guess is that it was probably just G8 leaders, plus China's Xi (maybe). That's why most of us keep coming up with the same result.

Even so, very interesting. They should create more of these (but with more questions and choices).

[Gods Slayer]

31. From the answers, looks like there were only 3 leaders

Obama, Putin, Merkel?

[forest444]

32. What? No Arabian Sheikhs!

They would have needed one for a lot of us guys there had been any questions about one's drives, let me tell you.

[Gods Slayer]

34. No, because you'd need to own a few billion USD to just enter the game

[forest444]

38. Curses!

Oh, well. I imagine harems must get tiresome after a while.

[Gods Slayer]

40. Harems are OK

The only problem is you need a personal assistant just to keep tabs on who you married when, what their favorite foods, colors, flowers are, where you met, when, etc.

Must be exhausting past the 50th wife.

[forest444]

41. Ah, can't live with'em, can't live without'em. And welcome to DU, Gods Slayer!

I just noticed that you created your account yesterday, and wanted to give you a shout out.

Great caricature, btw. It captures their cavalier attitude really well.

The best one I've ever seen about those smug bastards was one in which a typical sheikh is at the psychiatrist's, and cries out: "my cartel just doesn't understand me!"

Ain't that a mess.

[Gods Slayer]

42. on the topic of sheiks, I can share a true story

A guy I knew was a plane pilot who would fly cargo 747s or private jets. He told me about his trips as the plane 'chauffeur' of an oil sheik. They had problems maintaining the upholstery of a rental Falcon because the sheik was quite often stone drunk and got sick on the leather armchairs..

[forest444]

43. What slobs and hypocrites.

Those are the same guys who keep their people (especially the women) terrorized under the most self-righteous and medieval fundamentalist nonsense they can find (Salafism, Wahhabism and such).

Those crassholes and our religious far right are just peas in a pod.

[0rganism]

36. another Merkel here

i regret nothing!

[tularetom]

33. One more here

[bigwillq]

23. Putin

Congratulations, you're Vladimir Putin! Putin is often looked down upon due to his brashness and unwillingness to compromise. You share similar qualities with Putin but not to the same extent. You are brash when you need to be because more often than not people need to be told when they are wrong, otherwise they will continue to falter. You're unwillingness to compromise derives from the love you have of those who will have to pay consequences for your decisions. These qualities make you a strong and steadfast leader.

[H2O Man]

24. H2O Man.

[Shandris]

29. I am...oh holy gods, this can't be accurate!

How am I Vladimir Putin?! Okay, so I clicked the shirtless thing, but that was more because golf and soccer suck! Bah, silly test! Besides, if I were Putin I'd have already subjugated the entirety of the West. He's no Alexander, ya know!


(I guess ending wars is a bad thing, who'd have thought?!)

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

35. Obama

[grntuscarora]

37. Ooh, fun!

I'm Obama and, if the options are Merkel, Putin, and Obama, I'll happily take it!

[shenmue]

39. I got Pres. Obama

[femmocrat]

44. Another Obama here.
