Ethical Philosophy Quiz

This 12-question quiz is supposed to tell you which philosopher or school of philosophers you are most compatible with in terms of your concept of morality.

Results:

  1. Immanuel Kant
  2. Prescriptivism
  3. Ayn Rand
  4. John Stuart Mill
  5. Jean-Paul Sartre
  6. Baruch Spinoza
  7. Jeremy Bentham
  8. Stoics
  9. Epicureans
  10. Aristotle
  11. Friedrich Nietzsche
  12. Thomas Aquinas
  13. William of Ockham
  14. Plato
  15. David Hume
  16. St. Augustine
  17. Thomas Hobbes
  18. Nel Noddings
  19. Cynics

I must not have an extremely high compatibility with any of these people/schools, because I don’t completely agree with Kant, although I would guess Kant and Ayn Rand would be high up for most libertarians. I wonder if all of these people have truly elaborated enough on ethics to give a complete view of what they believe. I’m not very familiar with Bentham, Ockham or Noddings, and I don’t know what Hume or Hobbes believed with regard to morality.

Feel free to post your own results. I’m curious to see if the results are similar amongst people here.

77% Hume

after that everything drops off by 30%

Surprisingly what I would expect, even percentage-wise, given the choices - as these Cosmo quizes are fun but a bit superficial

15

I can’t answer the quiz, too many of the questions create what I believe to be a false dichotomy.

Clayton -

16

I concur. I tried taking the quiz a decade ago, and came to much the same conclusion back then.

17

@Clayton and Autolykos

If Vive can take this quiz, so you can you. Man up!

18

I don’t consider it a question of manhood, sorry.

I have to say I clicked ‘Doesn’t Matter/Dislike’ quite a lot. On every occasion it was because the question was too restrictive.
