Your Results:

1.  Jean-Paul Sartre   (100%)
2.  Nietzsche   (94%) 
3.  Nel Noddings   (82%) 
4.  Epicureans   (82%) 
5.  David Hume   (80%)
6.  Thomas Hobbes   (76%) 
7.  Kant   (72%) 
8.  Cynics   (70%)   
9.  Stoics   (68%) 
10.  Ayn Rand   (67%)   
11.  John Stuart Mill   (57%) 
12.  Jeremy Bentham   (53%) 
13.  Spinoza   (49%)
14.  Aquinas   (46%) 
15.  St. Augustine   (42%) 
16.  Aristotle   (32%)   
17.  Ockham   (30%)
18.  Prescriptivism   (28%) 
19.  Plato   (26%) 

Does anyone else notice that Nietzsche was high on everyone's list, I went through the whole thread and the only person who below 50% on this guy was Bono. Strange, this must mean something but I don't know what.

The fact that Aquinas, Augustine and Aristotle are so low on my list shows why I became estranged from the Catholic Church I grew up with. I still consider myself a quasi-Catholic, I had respect for John Paul II, up until the hurtful comments he made shortly before his death.

I find it very surprising that I scored similarly to John Dibble and Emsworth (except on that skank Ayn Rand). This may be why I prefer Libertarianism to Populism, all that moral bunk is not as important as individual freedom.

I'm a little surprised at the marked downward movement of the Stoics, but that may be the result of having been a parent now for over two years.  I'm not surprised that Kant still tops.  As for Bentham, well, todos de nosotros hacemos un poco más conservadores cuando crecemos más viejos.  Guess I'm getting old.  Just the way it is.  I am concerned that Plato is figuring a a bit higher in my list.  That's disturbing.

Not too surprised about this. Odd to see Nietzsche and Bentham so far up though. And Rand.

But this test is unusually bad even for Select Smart. It's so bad I wouldn't trust it at all.

These are my actual answers-

1- MORAL STATEMENTS Moral statements are primarily:
a) statements of fact or truth (e.g. "Murder is wrong" means "It is a fact that murder is wrong").

2-PURPOSE TO LIFE Does each person have a moral purpose/morally ideal way to live?
b) Yes, but the way to live in order to meet that purpose is unique for each individual


3. PROPER ORIGIN OF MORALITY Where does the proper distinction between "good" and "bad" come from?
c) God's will (though we can explain everything in a scientific manner, none of these processes that created our existance would exist without God)

4. SOCIETAL INFLUENCE Must a person be coerced/ influenced at some level by societal powers in order to live morally/virtuously?c) Sort of, society doesn't have to coerce a person to find morality, but the interest/rights of others in society must conveyed to a person in order for that person to determine right from wrong.

5. VIRTUOUS LIFE To be virtuous/live morally, we should primarily make moral distinctions according to:
e) our intellect in general, but not to achieve desires.

6. HAPPINESS Will using morality properly necessarily result in maximization of our own happiness?
a) Yes. (only if enough people are moral)

7. UNIVERSAL LAW Should I act as if the maxim (principle) with which I act were to become the universal law for all rational people?
b) Yes, but in a very loose manner, evaluating the unique specifics of the situation is essential.

8. END, MEANS, INTENT Which is the most important, morally?
d) None of them are significantly more important than the others.

9. INDIVIDUAL & OTHERS Is the self-pleasure or self-preservation of the individual ever in conflict with the same type of interests of others?
c) Yes, and neither the interest of own self nor the interest of the other is more important.

10. LIBERTY Would it be ideal to maximize pleasure for all people even at the cost of liberty for some?
b) No, we need liberty

11. ASCETIC LIFE Is ascetic living (simple life with a minimum of physical comforts) conducive to being virtuous?
c) No, physical comforts are fine, they may even be rewarding

12. VIRTUOUS PERSON A virtuous person can be described best as:
f) Concerned with others, yet very rational

This means I believe that-

First Choice-
The Utilitarian principle is correct when the quality of pleasures is accounted for
Liberty is the most important pleasure

Second Choice-
Aquinas (1225 or '27-1274)

All life has a purpose
Meeting this purpose allows one to be happy.
Happiness is to be found in the love of God.
God's grace providing entrance into heaven creates the highest form of human happiness.
Short of heaven, a person can achieve a more limited form of happiness through a life of virtue and friendship.
Morality is not determined by the arbitrary will of God.
Morality is derived from human nature and the activities that are objectively suited to it.
The difference between right and wrong can be appreciated through the use of reason and reflection.
Religious reflection may supplement the use of reason and reflection to determine right from wrong.
Societies must enact laws to ensure the correct application of moral reasoning.
Human nature is good because God made it good.


Third Choice-
Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)

We can make a prior judgments; the negation of such judgments would a logical absurdity because a priori knowledge is known without sensory data.
We combine a priori and a posteriori knowledge to
We have freedom
God is not essential for his moral argumentation
The objective facts about the human knowledge leads to Kant's morality
We must act ought of a sense of duty in order to be moral
Moral action does not come out of following inclinations
Moral standards must be followed without qualification
We must always act so that the means of our actions could be a universal law
We must always treat people as ends not means

Quote from:   Martha Gellhorn for The Atlantic 1961
The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

Funny 'cause it's true:
Very few people seriously allow facts to affect their opinions.

I took it again and got Hobbes first and Rand second.  I accidentally closed out, but I might take it again if I get bored enough.

Interesting, I didn't learn anything.  I closed the page by accident again.  I had Hume, Nietzsche, Sartre at the top I think and St. Augustine and Ockham at the bottom with only 6%.

     That's what I thought I would get. I have no clue how I got Ayn Rand at the top.
