There was another test along the side called What Zodiac Sign Are You?

One of the questions was
14. Are you indecisive?
Yes o No o Not Sure o

Yes o No o Not Sure o

But shouldn't it just be one question "When were you born" ?

Yeah. Apparently I'm an Aquarius.

Fail.

[Comte de Saint-Germain]

1. Nietzsche (100%)
2. Jean-Paul Sartre (98%)
3. David Hume (91%)
4. Thomas Hobbes (76%)
5. Nel Noddings (75%)
6. Stoics (73%)
7. Epicureans (63%)
8. Kant (59%)
9. Cynics (56%)
10. John Stuart Mill (56%)

15. Jeremy Bentham (45%)
16. St. Augustine (31%)
17. Ockham (30%)
18. Plato (27%)

59% Kant? Odd. Amusing I'm further than Rand, though, and I appreciate the distinction between Nietzsche and Rand made, so kudos for that.

Just read an article on Hobbes. Doesn't sound like my type of philosophy. He's an authoritarian for feck's sake.

And how come there is a bigger gap between Hobbes and Nietzsche on Comte's than mine.

I call shenanigans.

I would have preferred a "100% Nietzsche, 3% Hume, 0% everything else"..

4. David Hume
5. Cynics
6. Kant
7. Stoics
8. Prescriptivism

OK then.

[Animavore]

I done the test again because I suspect I mis-clicked on one of the questions. Probably the one about government. Here's my result.

1. Nietzsche (100%)
2. Ayn Rand (85%)
3. Jean-Paul Sartre (85%)
4. David Hume (83%)
5. Stoics (82%)
6. Kant (74%)
7. Thomas Hobbes (67%)
8. Epicureans (54%)
9. Cynics (52%)
10. Nel Noddings (49%)
11. John Stuart Mill (48%)
12. Prescriptivism (43%)
13. Spinoza (40%)
14. Aristotle (39%)
15. Aquinas (28%)
16. Ockham (28%)
17. Jeremy Bentham (22%)
18. St. Augustine (22%)
19. Plato (18%)

More like it. Thomas Hobbes my arse. I find his view on government to be against my liking.
Not happy with that bitch Ayn Rand being up top.


Or maybe the whole thing is a croc.

[Surendra Darathy]

1. Jean-Paul Sartre (100%)
2. John Stuart Mill (82%)
3. Kant (80%)
4. Spinoza (80%)
5. Stoics (77%)
6. Aquinas (74%)
7. Jeremy Bentham (74%)
8. David Hume (72%)
9. Epicureans (70%)
10. Nel Noddings (70%)
11. Thomas Hobbes (69%)
12. Nietzsche (66%)
13. Cynics (64%)
14. Aristotle (62%)
15. St. Augustine (46%)
16. Prescriptivism (41%)
17. Ayn Rand (40%)
18. Ockham (37%)
19. Plato (33%)

No surprises here, except seeing Kant up there at #3, and "Cynics" so low down on the list. I guess I'm really just a live-and-let-die sort of fellow. Good to see Plato and Rand bringing up the rear. Ockham has zilch to do with morality, except for saying that "less is more".
