Rationalist
61 optimism, 46 faith, and 73 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
I don't know.... I kind of prefer Regressionism, Skepticism and Foundationalism more.

42 optimism, 67 faith, and 21 logic!
In Greek mythology, a man named Sisyphus had angered the gods during his life. When he died, he was sent to Hades, and punished by constantly having to push a boulder up a hill. Every time he reached the top, the boulder rolled back down to the bottom and he had to start over. This process repeats itself for eternity.
That's more or less how existentialists view life. We're much like Sisyphus - struggling to push a rock up a hill, knowing that even if we succeed, it won't matter. No matter how great our achievements may be, in the end, they're completely meaningless. But like Sisyphus, we should continue living our meaningless lives, in order to defy whatever force is punishing us.
Famous existentialists include: Albert Camus, Friedrich Nietzsche.
The opposite of Existentialism is Rationalism.

Optimist
67 optimism, 63 logic, and 58 faith!
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.There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.

I have more faith than 35% of my peers? hmm
Rationalism is the camp I find myself in, though I was surprised this test was able to spit that out because the answers that I wanted to give were never present.An inscription above the gate to Hell:

I disagree. I don't know how the "test" arrived at this conclusion because I am fairly sure I gave no answer leading to this result, which is completely unfitting for me.
It is a very simplistic test.

Optimists also happen to look at the glass as half full, and generally refuse to consider the complications that may occur if something goes wrong. An "optimist" can't prepare for the future as they just assume it'll all turn out okei.
I'm a realist; the glass isn't half full nor half empty. It is at exactly the halfway mark, and then it is going to be empty because I am thirsty. And then it will be full because I will refill it. It's a nice little cycle.It doesn't matter if they're right. If they can't proove they're right, then they're wrong. No matter how right they may be.
ALL NEW! (As of 24th June) Demo Reel: Quarter 3!
