Philosophical personality test

[Blackmail!]

Regressionist

0 optimism, -4 faith, and 3 logic

---

Well, "regressionists" seem to be the most common outcome...
They say Feyerabend was a "regressionist", but as far as I know, his epistemological theories weren't exactly like this...

I guess there is a confusion within the test between him and his friend Imre Lakatos.

[Retz]

Rationalist. Who could have guessed. Me because it's the most rational answer that's who.

[Sniffles]

Spiritualist of course. Pascal is actually one of my favorite thinkers.

Your Score: Skeptic

The skeptic constantly lives in a state of denial - everything is false until proven otherwise. Skeptics refuse to follow religion, since it relies on theories that cannot be proven true or false. Likewise, they refuse to believe in most scientific research, since logic is viewed as an inadequate measure of truth (Just because A = B, and B = C, there's no proof that A = C). Although they can sometimes be depressing to talk to, skeptics are vital to scientific advancements, since they constantly look for problems with new theories.

Famous skeptics include: David Hume, Rene Descartes.

The opposite of Skepticism is Optimism.

[Ishida]

Spiritualist. Figured if I was a theist I'd get this.

Rationalist

5 optimism, -3 faith, and 15 logic!

Rationalism is the most scientific of the philosophies. No matter how bizarre something may seem, rationalists will always discount the supernatural. To them, there is no such thing as a mystical, otherworldly explanation for anything, no exceptions. Everything, no matter how strange, can be proven through science sooner or later. If something is genuine, there is an explanation for it.

Famous rationalists include: Baruch Spinoza.

The opposite of Rationalism is Existentialism.



EDIT: Oh, how MBTI Central affects my life? I decided to do some research on Spinoza- I saw his picture and the first thought that popped into my mind was.. Blue Wing.

Optimist

5 optimism, 1 faith, and 15 logic!

Optimists are a dying breed in this day and age. To the optimists, the world is a positive place. Everything is inherently good, and all things will work out in the end. They believe violence will one day be replaced with logic and reason, and that all religions can coexisist peacefully. These are the people who always see the glass half full, and believe that we live in the best possible world.

Famous optimists include: Gottfried Leibniz, William Godwin.

The opposite of Optimism is Skepticism.
