Abstract
This chapter provides systematic evidence for the claims made about Blair's personality and its distinctiveness in relation to other British prime ministers and other world leaders. It introduces content analysis procedures by which Blair's personality traits are measured, and draws specific hypotheses about the behaviours to which they are linked.
