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. Existentialism was 100% for me.

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.

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.
