I must be Steve’s opposite! Ok, maybe not on the nihilism or apathy. The interesting thing about this score is the juxtaposition of divine command and hedonism, which I do see as going hand in hand.
“Your life is directed by Divine Command: your god and religion give you meaning and direction.”

I scored as Utilitarianism, same as Guillermo. Apparently I am also got quite a bit of a Hedonism in me, which surprised me. After thinking about it, the two have alot in common.
Your life is guided by the principles of Utilitarianism: You seek the greatest good for the greatest number.
my second philosophy…
Your life is guided by the principles of Hedonism: You believe that pleasure is a great, or the greatest, good; and you try to enjoy life’s pleasures as much as you can.
“Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die!”
Utilitarianism _____75%
Hedonism _______75%
Existentialism ____70%
Justice (Fairness) _65%
Kantianism ______60%
Strong Egoism ___45%
Apathy _________35%
Nihilism _________20%
Divine Command _15%

I got Existentialism as well .. not too surprising though. That quote from Pascal couldn’t describe my personal philosophy more.

I guess I’m most similar to Anonymous, since we have Divine command and Hedonism as first two. But my third is unlike anonymous : Existentialism. I must agree on all this since I put God on the first place, I also like to enjoy life, and of course, i love exploring the meaning of life.

Existentialism was 100% for me. I think it is very accurate as it is how I follow my life. I was never raised in a religious household so my belief system was shaped completely by my surroundings.
