Good morning, everyone!
Having checked Elendil’s Heir’s chart,
I am F !
What is the chart to which you refer?
IQ1: Did you break into secure filing cabinets of researchers on the Manhattan Project?
IQ2: Is your place in history mainly due to the events that were precipitated by your death
IQ3: Did you begin your career as the apprentice to a man who is poetically remembered as abominating gravy?
Here it is: Botticelli - the letters we've used so far - Thread Games - Straight Dope Message Board
Elendil’s Heir made the chart to keep up with how many times letters were used, so the same few wouldn’t show up over and over again (I assume).
Sir Humphry Davy hated his gravy, but I don’t know his apprentice.
3 DQs.
IQ: Did you write a poem after witnessing the bombardment of Ft McHenry?
I am not Francis Scott Key.
IQ1: Did you invent a new style of workplace, increasing output substantially?
IQ2: Did you recently petition the court to make this, your nickname, your legal name?
IQ3: Were you considered the most influential hoofer in Hollywood?
I’m not Henry Ford. Unless #2 is Flea, take a DQ. I’m not Fred Astaire.
IQ1: Are you a king who wrote flute sonatas?
IQ2: Were you and the members of your expedition lost in the Arctic after both of your ships were trapped in the ice?
IQ3: Did you explore the Arctic on a ship called Fram?
I’m gonna guess that Martin Frobisher is #2, but take 2DQs for the others (and 3 if I’m wrong).
Frederick the Great, Sir John Franklin, and Fridtjof Nansen.

IQ1: Did you have an issue with purple triangles?

Purple triangles were used in concentration camps to identify Jehovah’s Witnesses, but I don’t know who you mean. #2, not a clue. #3 I’m guessing is Millard Fillmore. I have the Millard Fillmore Pez dispenser.

While working on the Manhattan Project, Richard P. Feynman amused himself by opening the secure filing cabinets of his colleagues, as recounted in Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman.
The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand precipitated the First World War
Michael Farady rose to prominence thatnks to a scientific career that began with an appointment to work for Sir Humphry Davy - however, having consulted his wikipedia entry since posting the question, I learn that he was employed first as a secretary and then as an assistant, and served his actual apprenticeship with a bookbinder. I therefore withdraw this question as incorrect and do not claim a DQ.

IQ2: Did you play Stanley in a musical adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire?
IQ3: Did you write “the Great Gatsby”?
DQ1: Were you born North of the Mason-Dixon Line
