Hypothesis: Yes.

Types and philosophies.
Which ones match up.
What about yourself?
What philosophies do you identify with.


I am an ENTP.
Objectivism has a special place in my heart.

It's hard to give broad overviews of philosophies because they are so complex and each one branches out so much but in the spirit of the thread here goes:

Existentialism - SP

Behaviorism - SJ

Idealism (uh, obviously)- NF

Fallibilism - NT

Weird, because I was thinking NF = existentialism


Coming to the same conlcusion from different angles... ?


I don't know how they see it, but I think this is all going to end and it means absolutely nothing, so it's up to the individual to decide what matters.

I see it as everything in this life is temporary and fleeting and essentially doesn't mean anything because there is eternal life. But, while we're here, we can make the best of our stay by creating reverence and meaning in the things that we've been given, including a lovely thing called human imagination.

I've personally come to accept that everything in due time will end because as I see it this world isn't actually real.

I've personally come to accept that everything in due time will end because I understand that this world isn't actually real.


So the biggest difference is that I think everything is real.

A philosophy that emphasizes the uniqueness and isolation of the individual experience in a hostile or indifferent universe, regards human existence as unexplainable, and stresses freedom of choice and responsibility for the consequences of one's acts.


Yup. That's everything I believe in a tidy dictionary format. :D

critical realist, also. but it doesn't totally fit as I don't really believe in some of the quasi dualistic "our view vs the reality" some of that brand of philosophy seems to go toward.

So critical realist to a degree, but keep in mind shrodinger and how the observer is PART of the system he/she/it observes, in actuality but also 'historically', with a causal relationship between the system and how the observer came to be, and then how his ideas came to be (darwin applied to social knowledge and perceptions if u will
