Wow, thats pretty much what mine looked like.

Autumn

Not me..... I think it's counting the ones who haven't admitted their real positions.

I much prefer dictionary.com's description of existentialism. It really does describe me pretty well:

A philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts.

I like how this definition stresses the uniqueness/isolation of the human experience in an indifferent universe. I don't know about hostile, but I understand the implication. The world can be a cold place.

I thought it was interesting how far apart I scored between existentialist and materialist, though postmodernist is closer to the truth for me. So yeah, someone who believes human existence is unexplainable but open to interpretation is pretty accurate.

Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Satanism! Before you scream, do a bit of research on it. To be a Satanist, you don't actually have to believe in Satan. Satanism generally focuses upon the spiritual advancement of the self, rather than upon submission to a deity or a set of moral codes. Do some research if you immediately think of the satanic cult stereotype. Your beliefs may also resemble those of earth-based religions such as paganism.

For those of you as curious of the definition as I was, I went back and took the test until the result came up "romanticist."

Romanticism encourages society to look backward to find our solutions. Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago, so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society. You believe in a simple life and that the complexities of the modern world have turned it upside down.

I'd have loved to have lived in the Victorian era.....

*sigh*

And on the 2nd one that Bahookie found I scored as:

You scored as Buddhism.



Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already. In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.

Good stuff, thanks for the links

Idealism centers around the belief that we are moving towards something greater. An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within ourselves, waiting to emerge over time. Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.

Materialist - although very nearly existentialist as well - came down to a tie break!!

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.

I can't believe you actually this test. I didn't think you would, so one day I took it for you.



I answered the questions the way I thought you would. The results were a bit different.



Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome.
