100% Match and I can agree with these points.
Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980)
Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980)
- When we choose something, we affirm the value of our choice because we have chosen it above other choices
- When we choose something for ourselves, we should choose it for all people.
- We must be consistent in our interpretations of moral situations regardless of whom the agent is.
- Logic cannot help us in specific situations
- Making conscious moral choices is more significant than consistently following moral guidelines
- The conflict between the interests of two people is in the end, irresolvable

I got Plato 100% and 92% Aquinas. Sad I'm not as close to dear Kant. I generally agree with most of St Aquinas's points though:
- All life has a purpose
- Meeting this purpose allows one to be happy.
- Happiness is to be found in the love of God.
- God's grace providing entrance into heaven creates the highest form of human happiness.
- Short of heaven, a person can achieve a more limited form of happiness through a life of virtue and friendship.
- Morality is not determined by the arbitrary will of God.
- Morality is derived from human nature and the activities that are objectively suited to it.
- The difference between right and wrong can be appreciated through the use of reason and reflection.
- Religious reflection may supplement the use of reason and reflection to determine right from wrong.
- Societies must enact laws to ensure the correct application of moral reasoning.
- Human nature is good because God made it good.
At best, I found the questions incomplete or irrelevant (even when I found I could select a choice, I found the choice was neither important nor unimportant enough to move the indicator).
C'mon...either/or on the death penalty?

As a pragmatist, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised I don't match up to any of these choices...but ZERO percent??

100% Hobbes?
LOL as if. I call shenanigans on this quiz. I answered 'none of the above' for over half of the questions.

I was also 100% Jean-Paul Sartre. Followed by John Stuart Mill (95%) and Thomas Aquinas (86%). The questions on this seem very well thought out. A few of them had fewer options than I would have thought were more necessary. Particularly the "MAN'S LAW" one. Only two options before having to throw your hands up and "dislike" all answer choices.
Hobbes must hate all the questions too.

Hobbes is a big government guy, the guy that invented the concept of the 'social contract'
Basically my exact opposite. Quiz fail.
Ah! That's more like it! Somehow, when I took this the first time, I was interrupted and left for a few minutes...and apparently something happened to wipe out my initial answers/results.

I thought you were just being rascally.
I guess we are not very big on turning our backs on society.21. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (0%
I'm suspect that the second guy down my list is Augustine at 84%. I might have got a couple questions wrong.
While I am sometimes the rascal, not this time...and while doing what one believes is right can be indeed very lonely sometimes, in order that we may have a society at all, we need to consider the needs and beliefs of others, individually and as a whole

What a rascally thing to say.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC)
- The life of virtue is rewarding for the individual and the community.
- The essence of a thing does not exist independent of the thing.
- There is no completely universal idea of "the good."
- There is an individualized ideal form for all living things.
- In living in accordance with their true nature, humans will find the most enjoyment out of reasoning.
- An investigation of human nature can reveal how humans ought to act.
- Humans have a pre-defined purpose.
- People can have variations on the best way to exist in order to meet their purpose.
- The mean between the extremes of any given characteristic is the ideal.
- The rule of the "Golden Mean" is not to be applied mechanically
- Aristotle discusses having practical knowledge as being able to have the right means to one's action and the right ends
I don't think this quiz knew what to do with me, because the top result I got doesn't fit me at all. Most of the questions I couldn't answer, because none of the responses reflected how I approach things.
