| The amount of thought that goes into the rankings is actually pretty interesting. Over 200 presidential scholars rank the presidents based on: 6 personal attributes (background, imagination, integrity, intelligence, luck, and willingness to take risks); 5 forms of ability (compromising, executive, leadership, communication, and overall); and 8 areas of accomplishment (economic, other domestic affairs, working with Congress, working with their party, appointing supreme court justices, appointing members of the executive branch, avoiding mistakes, and foreign policy).
