Philosophy of life

This was a longish one, where some of the questions were quite tricky to answer accurately. The person creating the quiz seemed to think that if someone were a Christian (or indeed religious in any form) then they'd see their religion as controlling them - which I don't. I believe God made us thinking, feeling beings, and that our relationship with him is more important than any kind of rules.

Which means that 'divine command' (which, I take it, means having a 'religious' philosophy of life) comes second in my list, and existentialism first. Hmmmm. I suppose that goes along with my results below that, after Christianity, my beliefs are most like those of Buddhists or Pagans.


You scored as Existentialism. 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
