I got James A. Garfield (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_A._Garfield), the wife got Richard Nixon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon) and my mother got Andrew Johnson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Johnson). I also got Andrew Johnson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Johnson) and Abraham Lincoln (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln), and least like George W.

Woodrow Wilson, similar to John Quincy Adams and James Garfield. Least similar with Martin van Buren.
Dwight Eisenhower
https://americanhistoryusa.com/static/images/quiz-image-dwight-eisenhower.jpg
Dwight Eisenhower spent most of his childhood in Kansas, living in comfortable but modest circumstances. Having spent most of his life in the military, he was regimented, organized, and hard-working. He possessed great capacity for strategic thought when it came to matters of the military and world politics. He was fairly outgoing and got along with most people. Yet he wasn't blind to the faults of others. He was well-adjusted mentally, to the point that some people found him boring. Independent of his time as President, his leadership in World War II makes him one of the great heroes of the United States and western Europe.
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 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.

John Tyler
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 Benjamin Harrison.
Benjamin Harrison was born to an Ohio family of comfortable means. He was descended from a signer of the Declaration of Independence by the same name, and was the grandson of William Henry Harrison. Harrison was famously reserved and even icy. He lacked close friends and demanded much of his contemporaries. However, he was widely respected for his intelligence and general knowledge of the world. He was a remarkably stable man, avoiding rash decisions or emotional swings, even if he was not particularly warm to others. He avoided major scandal throughout his time in office.
You are least similar to James A. 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.

Hmm Jimmy Carter.
Hmmm
Haha, same here. Probably because I selected "I don't drink" and a disagreement at a social gathering I would "ask them to explain themselves more, Maybe they know something I haven't thought about. I might even learn something."
Bad quiz, they did not have a question about "what would you do if Iran seized your embassy and held the staff hostage" with a nuclear option as a choice :D That would have taken me out of the carter strata

I got Benjamin Harrison: Known as the “human iceberg,” Harrison was stiff and formal in dealing with people. He disliked small talk. He could not tolerate inefficiency or incompetence in subordinates. He tackled problems through mastery of detail. Although he lacked both charisma and the common touch, he was widely respected for his intelligence, honesty, attention to duty, and diligence. “Integrity formed the backbone of Harrison’s character,” according to biographer Harry J. Sievers. “His active intellect firmly backed by moral courage, he was regarded as a bulwark of political decency.” He was among the best extemporaneous speakers of his day. Well, anyone from Minnesota is a human iceberg:doh: but it explains why I left a co-driver and his bag at a truckstop (WITH fare home to Ft. Scott) without a word...When he refused to clean (his turn) the layer of horrific Mayflies off the entire front of the Freightliner in Arkansas. Refusal of a direct order related to "the duties of a truckman". My subsequent career as an home-loan appraiser and ATM bank guard does require some moral fiber and attention 2 duty I suppose: I turned down many bribes from desperate homeowners...and I haven't shot anybody...yet.:O: Out of 'political decency' I'm not even bothering to vote this election for either the professional bankrupt or the liar: The 'Evita' of Bill's Juan (Perón)imho. God knows: I extemporize!:haha: but that gets me the only naked ladies in my life:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/images/bestof2014_small2.png (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=223849&tab=myawards#aw_issue234) :Kaleun_Salivating:
It gave me James K. Polk.

Only of one of the answers was "neogogate a deal despite the opposing political party trying to sabotage it and end up with the next president taking credit for your work. :03:
