That's how dinos deal with nasty.

LOL

Me dino thought you were kidding until I looked hedonism up as a philosophy.
It actually goes back to ancient times.
Like to party?

It pronounced me a hedonist. But about half the questions didn't allow the answer I would have given.

Well, that was a good brief speech, +1 :-)

I am all for being skeptical, challenging ideas and testing points of view. But too often, it’s easy to slip into Cynicism. I differentiate between the two as follows:
Skepticism means I have doubts, questions, concerns, but the door is open to information that will help me make up my mind.
Cynicism means my door is closed, locked and nailed shut. I’m not questioning, I’m not looking for information, I’m not open to new ideas. My mind is made up. So there's the difference tween the two.

I looked it up yesterday. There are other links.
The dude in the painting does not look like he embraces a happy philosophy.

I am skeptically a skeptic. Was not aware that was a philosophy . I didn't like all the questions or choices for answers.

Good grief I'm a Platonist! I thought I'm a Phenomenologist. The questions are too general, so the quiz can only put the participant in one of few categories. The realm of consciousness doesn't play into the view of the world in this quiz.

I fell in with Plato as well. I was looking for more Objectivist questions, but figured my Latin studies led me into Socrates and Plato, then a quest for responsible living into Sartre, and then to the best fit Objectivism. Guess they aren't ready for us yet. Being raised Catholic, then tinkering with panintheism, I have issues with religious questions in general.

Our ancestors lived like that for the longest time and there's no guarentee that we won't return to living like that again, "that" meaing as precariously as wild animals do. .

Skeptic.

Quite accurate, maybe.

Yes, philosophy IS something personal and unique.l. Me dino agrees with almost everything Ayn Rand has written and said. Almost.
Allosaurus is Latin for "different lizard" and that's the reason I picked that moniker.
This thread does proves me dino ain't perfect,though.
Who is may toss the first stone.
But please, don't. I bruise easily. And those silly river rocks some other imperfect people place in buckets to repel school gunmen can hurt when thrown hard.

I received Skepticism - of which I'm somewhat
skeptic.

The test is BS. There is no way my answers could result in Platonist. Just more clickbait.

Given the quality of the option sets and the number of Platonists we seem to have here, this quiz appears to have originated as someone's homework assignment - and they should probably should stay out of Philosophy as well as Computer Science.

There were not nearly enough 'other' options on the test. My immediate answer to1# is always "To survive long enough to reproduce".

Hello, allosaur,
If it is any consolation, I was also classified a Platonist.
I believe that it is a wrong classification given the answers I provided.
I consider myself admirer of Aristoteles and Ayn Rand.
On the other hand, I believe that philosophy is something personal and belongs to the individual, as a unique (unprecedented and non-repeatable) human being. "Schools" represent similarity but not identical philosophies. There are subjects and ideas which none of the philosophers have considered in a satisfactory degree.
Just my opinion.
Best wishes.
Sincerely,
Maritimus

Me-dino, who's that? Never heard of that allosaur either.

Essentially, yes.

Jan (just learned that 'essential' is considered the antonym of 'existential'!)

So you believe that existence exists :)

The choices did not seem to be possible answers to the questions. E.g., what is the meaning of life question has answers such as 'free will' which is not a meaning. But what can one expect in the present society where rationality is not demanded.
I got Platonism as a result. That might be close if a good part of it is discarded.

The test rated me as Existential.

Jan

Thank you. I knew that Rand didn't like that sort of question, but I had forgotten why.

A capitalist economy without the respect of individual rights is almost as bad as the rest, without respect for individual rights.
