Apprantly I'm Spinoza & Aristotle, but when Shmogg did the test, he said
that he didn't care much for humanity, it was felinity that was important to
him.

Fair enough, I guess.

Sartre - 100%; Ayn Rand - 88%;
then Spinoza, Stoics, Mill and Kant

Interesting. I shouldn't have thought I would have so much in
common with Rand -- or Sartre, come to think of it.

100% Sartre here.

100% John Stuart Mill, 95% Immanuel Kant, 85% Jean-Paul Sartre, 85%
Jeremy Bentham

I've always admired Mill, so I'm glad I'm 100% with him. As far as I
know, nobody has ever been able to figure out what the hell Kant meant
by what he said, so who cares...hey, wait; people say that about me,
too...hmmm.
Sartre was a cool sort of guy, O.K., and Bentham, never heard of him,
but I looked at his picture just now and the expression on his face
looks like he's got real bad hemorrhoids or something; not a cheery
kind of guy I guess. Oh well.
Interesting little test. Thanks for sharing.

The cats declined the test. It's been raining all day and they don't wish
to be disturbed from their snuggly place on the bed in the spare bedroom,
thank you very much..

100% Aquinas,

Are you Catholic? I knew I would get a heavy Aquinas score with my
background. But Aquinas + J.S. Mill-- pretty bizarre, but somehow
describes me perfectly.

Well, I was baptized and went to church, but never Sunday School. Was
in parochial school, but don't remember much religion being taught,
though it almost had to be, right? I'm a mixture of things (American
Indian cultures, Catholicism, LDS, "Christian").

Ah, I don't think you're bizarre, are you? Lord knows I *am*.

I don't think it's bizarre to have been influenced by different cultures and
religions and not be able to decide to fall exactly into any of it.
Religion-wise, I have been influenced by the Church of England in which I
was brought up, also LDS because as I have posted before, many of my family
are practicising LDS. And, wow, do they practise!!
I tried the LDS for a while, but didn't think I would be able to live the
life and stopped short of baptism. I was right, I could never have managed
it.
Instead, I live by the principles I think are right. It's sort of my own
religion and it's a mixture. Maybe even a little bit of Buddhism thrown in
as I won't even kill an insect unless I can help it.
As for culture, it's very multicultural in my nearest city and I now
cook/eat predominantly Asian food.

Heh, I'm 100% Sartre. Frank thinks the test was inferior since it never
even mentioned felinity.

I'm Aquinas (darn, I thought I was free of all that catholic dogma) 100%
and Aristotle 93%. I guess that kinda balances it out.

I'm Aristotle. However, since I've never read the works of *any*
philosopher nor taken a class in philosophy, I have no idea what this means
