About This Quiz

When we say "world leaders," that usually pertains to people in power. But what kind of power do they have?

In this quiz, we jazzed it up a bit. World leaders are not merely politicians or political figures found working in the government of a country. We also consider other kinds of people as world leaders. They're not exclusively at the top of the chain of command here, but they're important just the same.

For instance, we named a few religious leaders who could also inspire and spark some influence in whoever they are addressing. By seeing them alone, one would know the direction that a quiz question is going. Yep, we make it fun for you!

Other kinds of leaders are also included: the revolutionaries. Some of them may have been obvious choices because of their leadership or heroism, but there are some "revolutionaries" who spark other parts of the imagination. So aside from the freedom fighters out there, we also included some of the best advocates working for the greater good, mostly overshadowing their own personal stance on things.

So, care to see the lineup here? Go take this quiz and challenge yourself!
