Your life is guided by the concept of Existentialism: You choose the meaning and purpose of your life.

Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.
--Jean-Paul Sartre

It is man's natural sickness to believe that he possesses the Truth.
--Blaise Pascal


Your life is guided by the principles of Utilitarianism: You seek the greatest good for the greatest number.

The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.
--Jeremy Bentham

Whenever the general disposition of the people is such, that each individual regards those only of his interests which are selfish, and does not dwell on, or concern himself for, his share of the general interest, in such a state of things, good government is impossible.
--John Stuart Mill

Your life is directed by Divine Command: Your god and religion give you meaning and direction.

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.
--King James Version of the Bible

Even as a tree has a single trunk but many branches and leaves, there is one religion--human religion--but any number of faiths.
--Mahatma Gandhi

Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die!

I had trouble with that one too. I don't follow Jesus' two commandments only because He said them but also because I believe that they are true and good.

there were a few questions of that nature, which depending on your belief system could vary the answer and therefore the quiz.

I didn't post my results. I was 100% hedonist which I thourghly disagree with. and 65% divine command. Those are the only two I remember.

Also existentialist here - they seem to be in this year :)

Existentialism........... 70 %
Utilitarianism............ 60 %
Hedonism................ 60 %
Kantianism.............. 60 %
Apathy.................. 45 %
Justice (Fairness).... 40 %
Nihilism.................. 40 %
Strong Egoism......... 30 %
Divine Command...... 10 %

But I'm nearly as high on Utilitarianism, Hedonism, and Kantianism. Can a person be that?
