Whenever I come up with some new strategy, I usually find one or two leader traits which are well-suited to that strategy. However, it usually takes me a long time to find a suitable leader which matches both of those traits. Normally I would go to the civfanatics Civ IV civilization list and check every leader until I found the one I was looking for. Sometimes I would be unable to find the leader I'm looking for, and check the list two or three times to make sure that the leader really wasn't there. For example, I spent about 15 minutes looking for a financial and organized leader in BTS or Warlords, before concluding that there probably wasn't one. Just to be sure, I copied and pasted the page into IDLE and started processing it. About ten minutes later, I produced this list. As you can see, it's now very easy to find a leader with any particular combination of traits. Everything is alphabetically organized, so you can just scroll down to financial, then check for organized and voila, there's Darius I and Original George Washington.

This can be useful. http://civ4.wikia.com/wiki/Leader_traits
You can sort by traits and it gives you a table similar to the one here. Doing that also makes it clear which trait combos don't have a leader, which is something I've been somewhat trying to figure out in my head for a while. If anyone else is interested they are (Creative, Charismatic), (Industrious, Philosophical), and (Organize, Protective). Which makes sense since there are 11 choose 2 = 55 trait combos, 52 leaders, and no leaders share the same trait combination.
