lol, it thinks i'm a rationalist. true but partial.
most of all, i am not a multiple choice philosopher.
this test has a serious inability to understand nonduality. apparently it thinks, that i disregard anything beyond materialism, since i disapprove of the notion of a force outside of our "existence (??)"

Realists are the only philosophers not actively seeking answers. They are content with accepting that the
world around them exists, and don't bother themselves about how we came to be. They focus on where we're going, rather than how we got here. Realists also tend to be interested in "universals" - concepts that can describe large groups, rather than single objects. For example, there are more interested in the human race as a whole, rather than specific types of people. This philosophy is also sometimes called Idealism.

53 optimism, 56 faith, and 58 logic!
Foundationalists believe in logical, ordered opinions, built on other opinions. Building ideas is like building a house - you have to start at the most basic truths, and work your way up from there, otherwise it simply doesn't work. Thus, a foundationalist's entire goal is to find a single universal truth, that cannot be refuted by any argument. Once that truth has been found, everything else can fall into place. "I think, therefore I am" is often argued to be one of these basic truths. Famous foundationalists include: Rene Descartes. The opposite of Foundationalism is Realism.

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.
