Found this test good and it's really short (only 12 questions).

Your Result: W.v.O. Quine / Late Wittgenstein

90%
There is no provable absolute truth. The way you see things is dependant on your language. Truths exist only within a language, and change as the language does.

And what are their types?
Aristotle: xNTJ

Plato: INFJ

Kant: INTP

Nietzsche: INTJ

Wittgenstein INFJ

Camus: INFx

Sartre: INTJ
Quine: INTP?

Okay, I retook it because that doesn't really align with my beliefs. The questions' wordings made me dither.

The world is absurd. No facts govern it. We live well once we truly accept the world's absurdity. YOU give our life's meaning, and YOU control your world. (see Nietzsche for very closely tied beliefs) --This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer.

^ That's a little closer. I hold this weird contradiction in my head, believing in objective truth, but at the same time believing we're bound by perspective and neuronal circuitry in one way or another.

Existentialism was my second one. I have to say that Wittgenstein isn't my most favorite philosopher and I think I lean more towards Sartre and Schopenhauer, but Nietzsche is too hardcore for me.

Truth does not exist in some transcendent realm. We get to truth by applying reason to the physical world. The world follows logic and commonsense. Science if done properly is not to far from philosophy.

There is a transcendent, absolute truth. We can get to this truth by pure reason, in the form of dialectic. Everyone wants truth. Truth is virtue, is happiness. Your philosophy might boil down to: You are right and those who disagree with you are wrong. (Note that there are many different conflicting interpretations of Plato's writings.) --This quiz was made by S. A-Lerer.

The ambiguity of language is the cause for most (if not all) philosophical problems. If we could get a purely objective language all philosophical problems would be solved. Q.E.D.

Seeing the questions on the test, I don't think it's actually that accurate. the questions were far too simplistic and few.

There is no provable absolute truth. At the bottom of every philosophy there is some inspired assumption which the philosopher defends with reasons they have sought after the fact. There is no rational principle behind our world. The most noble goal in life is to create art. To live well is to be art. If life is a dream, "I will dream on!"
