Philosophical personality test

Spiritualist
72 optimism, 83 faith, and 52 logic!

Spiritualists rely on faith more than anything else. They will always believe in a supernatural power over scientific reasoning. Although they may worship different deities (God, Allah, Buddah, Zeus, and so on), the underlying philosophy is the same. Most spiritualists will seek higher answers in religious works, rather than philosophical reflection, and they tend to be fiercely devoted to their beliefs, even when all evidence points against it.

Famous spiritualists include: Blaise Pascal.

The opposite of Spiritualism is Regressionism.

60 optimism, 65 faith, and 56 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.
I don't believe we live in the best possible word but I'm hopeful. and I don't think it's possible to attain that "perfect place" but we should strive to or else why not just all give up and do nothing to improve our lives?
"Meh, we're all going to die anyways", fatalism and passivity kill me.
They make optimists sound like seriously delusional people o.O, we have hope that's all.

Not everything. Just most things.

Understanding and respect.

Rationalist
56 optimism, 35 faith, and 71 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.

Eh....given that descriptive blurb, I don't think it fits me all that well. Given history and human nature, especially on a group scale, I don't really believe violence/power struggles/inequities will go away, and I don't actually think it's possible, but I do think there's a lot of potential and good in the world too. I choose to look glass-half-full, even though I know it could easily go the other route. It's a balance of sorts, and probably always will be.

I'm a Christian. It's a deep, intrinsic part of who I am. Not all NTs look down on faith.

It's more of an NTP thing if you get statistimacal about it.
