Umm... no, not quite. The one philosophy that I liked most when I went through the list was that of Nel Noddings (except for the feminism part): Shut the **** up about your ideologies, stuff your nationalism in where it belongs, take care of each other and have some good-natured, civilized fun. Expect that people will, if given the chance, generally be benevolent, senseful and honest - and do not ever strive to expect anything different. People are innocent until proven guilty.

Sartre on one, despite only agreeing with a few of his points. Mill second with 78%. But just like Drake Tungsten said, this test is too western, so it's kinda useless for me.

I'm not sure this test represents my views really...
At most questions I didn't really know which one to pick, there usually are several answers that are just as good... anyway this metaphysic or metaethical stuff isn't my kind of stuff, i'm too dumb for it to fully understand it



For example: 11. ASCETIC LIFE Is ascetic living (simple life with a minimum of physical comforts) conducive to being virtuous?

How the hell should I know that.. I'm in no position to know or judge whether it is helpful or not

or

3. PROPER ORIGIN OF MORALITY Where does the proper distinction between "good" and "bad" come from?

what the hell.... you just can't know that, and it's pointless to argue that you're saying the truth because it doesn't matter!
