What’s Your World View?

What’s Your World View?

secrets0stolen · 03-01-2011, 06:30 PM

Interesting quiz, my results:

Existentialist
81%
Materialist
75%
Postmodernist
69%
Cultural Creative
56%
Modernist
56%
Idealist
44%
Romanticist
44%
Fundamentalist
19%

The thing about these quizzes is that sometimes the questions are phrased so that your expression of your opinion is limited and could be inaccurate. Also, considering Steve and I both got 19% on "Fundamentalist" there might be an automatic amount you score for each one. The "Fundamentalist" questions were obvious and i didn't agree with any of them. Odd.

Sounds like me, alright!

You Scored as Postmodernist
Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

Wow, spot on! I can really see that coming through in your posts.

secrets0stolen · 03-01-2011, 07:44 PM

Here was the explanation for my dominant one, by the way.

You scored as Existentialist.

Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Man is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

Melchior · 03-01-2011, 09:49 PM

I had a tiebreaker between materialist and idealist, materialist winning out, lol. :P

what is the description of materialist and idealist?

secrets0stolen · 03-01-2011, 09:56 PM

Quote:

Idealist.

Idealism centers around the belief that man is moving towards something greater. An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within man, waiting to emerge over time. Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.

Materialist.

Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.

Lots of Idealists on this forum.

Cado · 03-02-2011, 01:28 AM

I had a tie-breaker between Existentialist and Cultural Creative, it seems. I wonder what the description is for the latter? Though I scored 100% for both, and Cultural Creative is listed above Existentialist, I got the description for existentialism.

Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

I think fundamentalism comes from this question to which I answered Yes but my reasons are different to the authors.
Science has destroyed or at least severely lessened the original purpose of life.

Also theres a dumb question there are no truths If you answer yes; you contradict yourself.

There was an "absolute" in that question -- I don't think it's a contradiction to believe somethings to be true without believing them to be absolutely true. That is, they're working truths, guidelines and tendencies that work well in your life, while still being your perspective -- not The Absolute Objective TruthTM.

But then again, that could be a contradiction, too.

Cado · 03-02-2011, 02:31 AM

What I find interesting about my results is that they're all nice, solid percentages. 50%. 75%. It's so well defined. I don't think I've managed that on any other personality test to date.

st33med · 03-02-2011, 02:37 AM

I'm a Post-Modernist with a little of Cultural Creative in me.

Oh, lookit, I'm 100% something! I don't know if that's ever happened to me before.

So...do you think I act like a proper CC around here?

You Scored as Romanticist

Romanticism encourages society to look backwards to find our solutions. Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society. You believe in a simple life and that the complexities of the modern world have turned it upside down.

But it did not give me any percentual score :/

EDIT:

oh go it now

Tie Breaker
The potential of the divine is within us.

In order to progress we must look to the past.

if i ticket the second option, i got;
