Well, I guess I won't be running for President of the USA

New Scientist has an article called:
Are YOU fit to be president?
Basically you take a personality test and copy some of the results into another assessment to see how you might shape up to be President.

Take the short test or the long test and plug the results in here.

I did the long test and I bare my arse below the belt.
