Look at the middle/end area where it points out the various styles and temperaments of the main personalities of the Austrian School:  Mises, F.A. Hayek and Rothbard.
Personally, I think I'm more of a Hayek, based on the way they describe it, who was getting bashed by Rothbards.

Based on the descriptions the author provides, who of the three (Mises, Hayek, Rothbard) do you think you must identity with?

Hard to say. I think in personality, I'm more like Rothbard, in approach more like Hayek, and in principle more like Mises.

Hm.
I like the way you phrased that better.
Let me try that again.

Personality:  Hayek
Approach:  Rothbard
Principle:  Mises
