About This Quiz
We're about to boldly go where no one has gone before. As we head out on this voyage of discovery into the cosmos, the individual who sits at the helm of the vessel will have a huge impact on how the mission will go. Will you be the kind of leader who will fit into the original "Star Trek "crew, or are you more at home in "The Next Generation" group?
If you're a passionate and charismatic leader with an adventurous spirit and a zest for life, Captain James T. Kirk might just be the Starfleet captain that resonates most closely with you. While he may take some unnecessary risks on occasion, Kirk's awards and list of accomplishments are hard to find too much fault with. While it's clear that he tends to be a bit overly dramatic, some might even say a ham, there's no doubt that Jim gets the job done time and again.
On the other hand, perhaps you're a more contemplative and even-keeled leader with a deep intellectual curiosity and an overall "nice guy" vibe. If that's the case, it's likely that you relate a lot more to the captain in TNG. If you're a born diplomat with skills in de-escalating tense situations and getting people to come together and cooperate, Picard is probably the best fit.
The countdown to launch has begun. Are you more likely to say, "Warp speed, Mr. Sulu" or "Engage"? Let's find out!
