PHILOSOPHY

Apologies for not keeping this page active. I was spending some quality time with my significant other this week.
 
To help fill the void, this quiz is one of the keener ones I’ve come across on the web:
 
ETHICAL PHILOSOPHY SELECTOR
 
My ethical philosophy, according to the quiz, is closest to that of John Stewart Mill, and farthest from Nel Noddings:

The results are scored on a curve. The highest score, 100, represents the closest philosophical match to your reponses. This is not to say that you and the philosopher are in total agreement. However this is a philosophy that you may want to study further.
 
1. John Stuart Mill (100%)
2. Epicureans (89%)
3. Jeremy Bentham (81%)
4. Ayn Rand (76%)
5. Aquinas (68%)
6. Aristotle (64%)
7. Jean-Paul Sartre (61%)
8. Thomas Hobbes (58%)
9. Kant (56%)
10. Spinoza (49%)
11. Cynics (46%)
12. Plato (46%)
13. St. Augustine (45%)
14. Prescriptivism (41%)
15. David Hume (36%)
16. Nietzsche (33%)
17. Stoics (31%)
18. Ockham (28%)
19. Nel Noddings (20%) 
 
(edited 16:58 S'pore/HK time to delete sentence suggesting Jeremy Bentham was Christian. He was an atheist. I had been confusing him with Edmund Burke.)
