THE RESULTS

King George

You are likely to hold grudges against those who have wronged you. You like being smug and predicting how badly things will go for others, which comes in handy when you Facebook-stalk your exes and judge the photos they post.

 

George Washington (center)

You’re a natural leader and people respect you. You are great at maintaining your composure, even when you’re frustrated, but you’re not afraid to ask for help when you need it. Try as you might, you can’t resist making cheesy dad jokes.

 

Angelica Schuyler (center)

People are dazzled by your wit and intelligence. You are selfless and are willing to sacrifice what you want for others’ happiness—you take your duties very seriously. Above all, you wouldn’t dare swipe right unless you saw someone with a mind at work.

 

Eliza Schuyler Hamilton

You tend to helplessly fall in love and are fiercely loyal to your friends and family. You have a kind spirit and are able to eventually forgive those who hurt you the most. When Beyoncé dropped “Lemonade,” you listened to it on repeat.

 

Peggy Schuyler (right)

You worry more than you have to—it couldn’t hurt to let loose a little. You’re shy and sweet, but people love when your sassy side comes out. Sometimes you’re a bit of a backseat driver and remind your friends to drive the speed limit.

 

Philip Hamilton (far right)

You’re optimistic and love living in the moment. People consider you great friend who will stand up for what is right. If someone subtweets your friends, you’re quick with a sharp, snarky reply and appropriate GIF.

 

Thomas Jefferson (center)

You aren’t afraid to bring the thunder and talk about people behind their backs. You like living a flashy life and ooze confidence. People admire how effortlessly cool you are: You are the Regina George in your group of friends.

 

Hercules Mulligan

You are willing to do whatever it takes to help a greater cause. If you get knocked down, you get the F back up again. Everyone invites you to their parties because you’re fun to be around and you always take one for the team and go with the flow.

 

Marquis de Lafayette

You are intelligent and idealistic. You are inspired by those around you and are eager to challenge the way things are run by others. Because of your smarts, your friends often ask you to go to trivia nights at the bar.

 

John Laurens (second from right)

You’re brave and a good-hearted person. You believe in equality for all and will fight for it every day of your life. Do or die is your motto, and the kids would say you are “woke.”

 

Aaron Burr

You don’t always like to talk about your opinions or beliefs. You’re willing to strategically wait for the right moment to boldly make your move. You pretend to be patient, but you desperately want to be in on the action and in the room where it happens. You are likely to wait and see all your weekend options before committing to a party invite.

 

Alexander Hamilton (far right)

You are driven by ambition and aren’t afraid to say what’s on your mind at all times. You live with a sense of urgency and fearlessly fight for what you believe in. You waste no time and don’t hesitate with your decisions. People love to watch you live-tweet big events, like presidential debates.
