They sound about right, but I don't think the stoics should've been that high. Anyways, I don't agree at all with the interpretation hegel and his buddies did of Kant, I'm much more of a Schopenhauerian.

Sartre, my top result, for example:

# When we choose something, we affirm the value of our choice because we have chosen it above other choices
# When we choose something for ourselves, we should choose it for all people.
# We must be consistent in our interpretations of moral situations regardless of whom the agent is.
# Logic cannot help us specific situations
# Making conscious moral choices is more significant than consistently following moral guidelines
# The conflict between the interests of two people is in the end, irresolvable

I would much rather have come out an Epicurian than a Randian!  But I had a lot of 'doesn't matter' answers, since I simply don't think there's one right or best way.  However I personally do live an Epicurian life.

No idea.. probably something stupid.  Care to enlighten?

Ayn Rand, at her Ford Hall appearance, 1971, declared homosexuality to be immoral and disgusting.

Actually I find Rand disgusting.  She was always spewing her own particular sexual perversions around like they were supposed to be some ideal. 

As I said I'm really more of an Epicurian, or perhaps a Nihilist, but I don't see them on there.  I was a bit embarrassed by that 100% Randian score, given how ridiculous a person she was.  I think if you consistently answer those questions assuming there is no universal 'right' or 'virtuous' way, you end up Randian.

Wrong. Rand was a strong purpoter of moral absolutism.

Yeah, I know, but the way I answered the quizz was basically to say that I didn't think there was any right way.  Several of the questions I answered doesn'tmatter/don't count.  I was just saying that they way I answered - more Nihilistically - returned a 100% Rand score, oddly enough.

Now why do you say that? I assume you are making a judgement on the fact that the Nazis adopted and twisted much of his philosophy in order to justify their actions.
