Default Re: Whats your philosophical word view? Quiz.

You scored as Existentialist.



Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

Materialist

You scored as Postmodernist.

Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis


postmodernist:81%
existentialist: 69%
Clutual Creative: 63%
Idealist:63%
Modernist: 56%
Romanticist: 50%
Materialist: 38%
Fundamentalist: 38%

The entire quiz is rather meaningless, IMO.

What the hell does it mean to be " 31% postmodernist" ?

Materialist

Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.

Note: this is an odd result, as I answered that I strongly disagreed that "anything can be reduced to simple understandable components." Also strongly disagreed with "Science can solve all problems and answer all questions, eventually."

Existentialist: 75%
Materialist: 75%
Cultural Creative: 50%
Modernist: 50%
Postmodernist: 50% so I'm half Modernist & half Postmodernist, which I guess means that half of me is ahead of the other half?
Fundamentalist: 25%
Romanticist: 25%
Idealist: 0% again very strange, as if you asked me which of these traits I most strongly identify with myself, it would be Idealism. Just perhaps in a different direction from the norm.

I want the last 2 minutes of my life back.
