Before even taking the quiz, I’m saying Franklin because I admire his slutty ways. ---

No, but really: apparently I’m Madison. Was he also a floozy? ---

Before taking the quiz, I would have said Madison, who is my favorite anyway. But apparently I’m Roger Sherman. I guess I’ll have to read up on him. ---

George Washington for me. ---

I got Madison, but I would have said Jefferson before taking the quiz. ---

George Washington which is really cool for me because he was a childhood hero for me. ---

> [@DiosaBellissima](#): > > Before even taking the quiz, I’m saying Franklin because I admire his slutty ways. I’m reading a biography of Franklin now, and I’m a little surprised to learn that he wasn’t all that slutty. He was just a big flirt - all talk and very little action. Apparently I’m most like George Washington. ---

Apparently, I’m George Mason. I know embarassingly little about the Founders, so I have no way to know if he is a good match for me. It says he refused to sign the Constitution because it didn’t include a Bill of Rights, which is at least one thing I can admire. ---

Roger Sherman. ---

I got Washington, which I wouldn’t have guessed. ---

Another Madison. It’s the reading and the preference for research that does it, I think. ---

Madison. _shrug_ The most fun part for me was seeing certain options that I knew _exactly_ which founding father they were going for. ---

> [@Tapiotar](#): > > Another Madison. It’s the reading and the preference for research that does it, I think. Yeah, definitely seems like the introvert match, not surprising he’d do so well with Dopers. ---

John Adams “I’m obnoxious and disliked!” Actually, it said George Washington. ---

Another Madison checking in. There seem to be quite a lot of us. 🙂 ---

Ben Franklin for me. “Good natured, intellectually curious, and wordly-wise.” It’s like this quiz frickin’ knew me! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/which-founding-father-are-you-most-like/596538.md?page=2)
