Founding Fathers Quiz

On my continuing quest to distract us from reality, here are two fun tests about America’s founding fathers. Oddly, on both tests, I scored as James Madison. I really wanted to identify with my favorite founding father, Ben Franklin, so I kept taking the first test until we connected; it took me five tries, though!

Tej I was hoping for, and got, John Adams. My impression is he was a very unlikable person on the surface but had a lot of good qualities. And one of the best things about him is he was smart enough to marry Abigail!

Gin Tadvick I got James Madison twice and gave up. I was hoping for Thomas Jefferson since we have the same opinion on living without books (Can't) and the media.

Starless One I really wanted to get Hamilton, instead it turned out to be the boss, Washington himself. ><

Kathleen On the first one I was Thomas Jefferson, the second one George Washington. Both are fine with me!

Sharon Tej, one of my favorite John Adams quotes comes from Ben Franklin who said, "John Adams is a man of great, if intermittent, magnanimity."
Interestingly, on my Facebook page, most everyone got Madison, too. Hamilton seems to be very elusive, Sulime; only one managed to snag him.

RJay Thomas Jefferson first time out -- not sure what that says about me.

Well, yes to all of that. But I think it was the fact that I picked Paris ...
