Nicolaus Copernicus

A visionary with an open mind and a passion for the "bigger picture" - You are most like Renaissance mathematician and visionary astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus! Your outspoken nature has earned you scrutiny and criticism, but you absolutely refuse to back down from what you know is right. To you, "truth" in itself is more important than any consequence. You also harbor a deep interest in the stars and beyond - even if it is subconscious.

"Copernicus was a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at its center. The publication of this model in his book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres) just before his death in 1543 is considered a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making an important contribution to the Scientific Revolution." - Copernicus via Wikipedia

Unique, fiery, and extremely passionate - You are most like renowned inventor and master of electricity Nikola Tesla! No stranger to showmanship, you are a double-sided coin in that you enjoy showing off your passions to others, yet prefer to keep to yourself. Others may find you a bit odd and you might feel like a bit of an outcast at times - but this is all due to your immense intelligence and passion for unique expression.

"Tesla was renowned for his achievements and showmanship, eventually earning him a reputation in popular culture as an archetypal "mad scientist." His patents earned him a considerable amount of money, much of which was used to finance his own projects with varying degrees of success. He lived most of his life in a series of New York hotels, through his retirement. He died on 7 January 1943. His work fell into relative obscurity after his death, but in 1960 the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor. Tesla has experienced a resurgence in interest in popular culture since the 1990s." - Nikola Tesla via Wikipedia

That last question should have been titled:

"Which of these lefty views do you most agree with?"

Albert Einstein



Wildly unique and a social darling, you are most like the unsurpassable Albert Einstein. Like Einstein, you've accomplished much so far in life within your own parameters, and have been subject to the opinions of many. Your genius lies within the physical world, in everything from the physics and mechanics of our existence to the beauty of a chord played out by the strings of a violin. No matter how big or small, one thing is certain - You will leave your mark on this world!

"Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist and philosopher of science. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). He is best known in popular culture for his mass–energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"). He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics." - Albert Einstein via Wikipedia

It must have been preferring to live in the 1920s that tipped it, because I sure as hell didn't pick physics as my science.

But of course!

Forward thinking, imaginative, and endlessly creative - You are most like the Renaissance man himself, Leonardo Da Vinci! Just as much an artist as you are a scientist and visionary, your imagination knows no bounds which allows your mind to wrap itself around abstract concepts both creative and scientific in nature. You are prone to daydreaming and wild visions of the future.

I picked living in the 20's too, but I also picked zoology, so go figure...

You know he was gay, right?

[Lord Jim]

Yes, I'd heard that...

[Joe Guy]

You can call me 'Al'...

I got:

Benjamin Franklin



Social, street smart, and multi-faceted, you are most like "The First American" Benjamin Franklin! You are a rare person in that your street smarts equal your book smarts, which has allowed you to master many different elements of life, much like Ben Franklin. A possible polymath, you have the ability to succeed in anything from politics to writing to physics and invention.

"Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. As an inventor, he is known for the lightning rod, bifocals, and the Franklin stove, among other inventions. He facilitated many civic organizations, including Philadelphia's fire department and a university." - Benjamin Franklin via Wikipedia

Always one of my favorites. And I have to say, "social, street smart, and multi-faceted" is how I think of myself -- although the "multi-faceted" part I usually call "ADD."

Jane Goodall: Edited to add the description



Jane
Intuitive, empathetic, and in-tune with nature - You are most like the adventurous Jane Goodall. An outspoken advocate for the only planet we've got, your ideals line up with the betterment of humankind, animals, and nature not as separate entities but as one whole. You are of the mindset that humans are a part of nature, and should return to their roots in order to solve the problems of tomorrow.

"Dame Jane Morris Goodall, DBE - is an English primatologist, ethologist, anthropologist, and UN Messenger of Peace. Considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, Goodall is best known for her 45-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania." - Jane Goodall via Wikipedia

[Guinevere]

Oddly (or not), another Ben. Works for me.

[Long Run]

I ended up a Franklin too. Kind of apt since I got stuck out in a rain/lightning storm this morning.

[Sue U]

Well then, we're just three peas in a pod, aren't we?

[Beer Sponge]

Tesla!!

[Econoline]

Another Copernicus here.

[BoSoxGal]

Poop @w, I wish you'd posted the description - I'd have loved to have read more about why you are like Jane Goodall, I adore her!

[Crackpot]

It's quite simple she spends her life surrounded by apes.

[Big RR]

Another Tesla.

What?

It's not Charles Manson?
