You Scored as Nihilism

Your life is marked by strong Nihilism: You feel that nothing in the world, even your life, has much or any meaning.

"For out of fear and need each religion is born, creeping into existence on the byways of reason."
"There are no facts, only interpretations."
“Every belief, every considering something-true, is necessarily false because there is simply no true world”
--Friedrich Nietzsche

Well according to that quiz:

[GenocideMachine]

You Scored as Existentialism

Your life is guided by the concept of <b>Existentialism</b>: You choose the meaning and purpose of your life. <br><br>“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.” <br>“It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.” <br>--Jean-Paul Sartre <br><br>“It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.” <br>--Blaise Pascal <br><br>More info at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Arocoun">Arocoun's Wikipedia User Page...</a>

[FoolishImp]

You Scored as Strong Egoism
Your life is very much guided by the concept of <b>Egoism</b>: You work primarily to promote your own interests. <br><br>“I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.” <br>“I am not primarily an advocate of capitalism, but of egoism; and I am not primarily an advocate of egoism, but of reason. If one recognizes the supremacy of reason and applies it consistently, all the rest follows.” <br>--Ayn Rand <br><br>More info at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Arocoun">Arocoun's Wikipedia User Page...</a>

Could use a better test, that one just seemed like some internet-survey-kewl thing. This does describe me to some extent though.

[Rainycity]

Hedonism yeah how i do it

[i poop in your cereal]

Nihilism. This test is stupid - I'm not a nihilist.

And questions like whether or not I believe in eye for an eye are irrelevant as I usually prefer two eyes for an eye etc.

[Traceur]

Tie between strong egoism and existentialism, egoism won.

You Scored as Utilitarianism

Interesting. I got a tiebreaker question and no percentile breakdown. But yeah, I'd have to agree. The ends pretty much justify the means in life.

[Nachismo]

U Scored as Utilitarianism

Your life is guided by the principles of Utilitarianism: You seek the greatest good for the greatest number. “The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.

Jeremy Bentham “Whenever the general disposition of the people is such, that each individual regards those only of his interests which are selfish, and does not dwell on, or concern himself for, his share of the general interest, in such a state of things, good government is impossible.” -John Stuart Mill

Hedonism 85%
Justice (Fairness) 60%

Nihilism 0%

The tiebreaking question was something like between putting the good of others before myself or thinking deeply about life issues?Are those conflicting?

I like to think that my approach to philosophy is more through personal experience, then an academic study.I describe myself as monotheistic, and most of my perspective is hermetic.

[TruthWielder]

You Scored as Kantianism
Your life is guided by the ethical model of <b>Kantianism</b>: You seek to have consistent laws rule your actions, and your will is directed by reason. <br><br>"I do not, therefore, need any penetrating acuteness to see what I have to do in order that my volition be morally good. Inexperienced in the course of the world, incapable of being prepared for whatever might come to pass in it, I ask myself only: can you also will that your maxim become a universal law?" <br>--Immanuel Kant <br><br>More info at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Arocoun">Arocoun's Wikipedia User Page...</a>

Why would one choose a single philosophy. Thats like picking a religion and sticking to it. You can choose the direction at the crossroads or always stay on the same mundane path.

Those are my results, and I think the test is--well, for want of a more precise term, bullshit. For one thing, it is rife with value-laden terms ("should", for one) and it seems not to grok that at the Highest Level, we are all one, so whatever we do that is best for ourself is best for all--thus, my speciously high "hedonism" and "strong egoism" scores. Plus I could not answer the tie-breaker question because of a fucking popup ad that wouldn't go away.

The whole thing is not so much about R&S as philosophy per se, so I am moving this to the humanities forum.

[Defective]

Epicureanism ftw.

I scored existentialist. Yeah, let's go write a play, haha. I'm working on a piece right now dealing with the negligent philosophical repercussions of taking an inane, five-minute internet quiz that determines my perspective on life.

I think this counts as "other"
