I thought this test was pretty unclear in its instructions. It said it was comprised of quotes you had to interpret, but many questions were quotes followed by answers that had nothing to do with the interpretation and instead were about your own personal experience. Yet other questions were not quotes, but questions about yourself. So I wasn't clear about what they were looking for -- my ideas, or what I think the ideas of the quoted people were?
Anyway, the description fits me, but not entirely.....

Well, it was meant to be a test of your psychology, not your knowledge, so think about it and you'll have your answer!

There's no right answer in these tests, only the ones that seem right to you.

You scored 45 Artist, 25 Philosopher, 30 Scientist!

You live outside yourself - in the things you create and work with. You live through objects ... that is, as opposed to living "within yourself", as the "introspector" does. You do not need justification to create, and you do not preoccupy yourself too much with the overall usefulness or meaning of your creations; you are an inventor and a creator. You are quick witted and imaginative most likely, but tend not to dwell too heavily on the "meaning" of specific things. Society benefits from your creations ... which might range from the useless to the indispensable. Since you are so heavily preoccupied with your activities, it is important to remember to stop "doing" sometimes and allow yourself to ponder what you've done... appreciate it deeply. Examples of Creators: Thomas Edison, The Wright Brothers, Nikolai Tesla Quotes from Creators: "I'm an artist. I enjoy working with my hands. I love reading. I listen to music constantly, but I don't have any particular taste, because what I listen to changes constantly."

You scored 15Artist, 50 Philosopher, 35 Scientist!

Your thinking style is such that you vaccilate between building and creating things; pondering their purpose and value. The world is meant to be understood, and its elements are meant to be manipulated to help us on the path to discovering new techniques and methods for uncovering both universal and personal truth. You are vigorous in your mental attitude; putting things in their place and also justifying the science behind them ... while also expending effort pondering how or why the effort was valuable to you or society in a larger perspective. Perhaps you enjoy regimented activities or a great deal of mental activity; math, chess, etc. This is the category of a true intellectual. Examples of Stoic Thinkers: Albert Einstein, Galileo, Carl Sagan. Furthermore: Feedback from these types indicates they are: Highly attentive to detail ... they can come across as quite serious even if they don't intend to! According to other users, this may result in a funny "dry" sense of humor. Quote from another AT: "The first thing people usually notice about me probably my sense of humor." "I'm very independent and in many ways don't really care what others think of me. I can't control what others think or say, only how I react to it."

The Modernist

You scored 35Artist, 30 Philosopher, 35 Scientist!
You represent all that is hypermodern in thinking and existing in today's society. You live a very active and agile mental life, combining it with sporadic activities that involve intense personal expression (art, blogging, etc.) As opposed to the other types, your thinking style is a combination of: methodical, artistic and introspective. This means you are at different points in time capable of: valuing something, imagining it spatially, and enjoying its value experientially. You are likely highly literate, but you are a jack of all trades in that no particular field captures your fancy entirely. You may find yourself involved in a range of activities; make sure you are comfortable with your own identity and that you do not neglect any of the major aspects of thought. There could potentially be a propensity for skiddishness or flightiness. Furthermore, you are very easy going as a friend and partner ... easily absorbing the personalities around you, but not committing to any side in particular. Quote from a Modernist: "People often think I'm flip flopping on my opinons, when in reality, I'm just seeing many sides to something." Examples of Modernists: Tony Blair, Leonardo Da Vinci, Aristotle

Does this mean that I'm well balanced?

The Eccentric

You scored 33Artist, 50 Philosopher, 18 Scientist!
You live in a world of vast abstraction and color. You are hardly interested in the mechanics of real life; you are preoccupied with the substance of existence (the story and narrative, the symbolism), and the form and shape which life itself takes. You mix the mystical with the rational, like St. Thomas Aquinas, you find inroads between the sublime and the tangible ... you might have a propensity to let yourself go, though, in different ways. Everyday chores and responsibilities are not high on your list of passions; neither is any kind of "daily ritual" most likely. Your ideal work involves something that combines a medium for self expression (such as writing), with the inherent rationality and inquisitiveness of your philosophical side. You are very youthful in your demeanor. You are a true representative of modern culture and society; with its shifts toward new systems of spirituality which combine ancient mysticism with classic reason. You are not preoccupied with wealth most likely. Examples of Eccentrics: Timothy Leary, Stanley Kubrick, Socrates. Quotes from "Eccentrics": "I am a little unusual, a little different and very unique."

I'm feeling this really isn't a good thing!

Yes, I know what kind of test it is, but as I said, the format of the questions and answers are not consistent with the instructions and are often unclear as to how one should respond.

oh...instructions? i didn't read the instructions...hmm what were you supposed to do?

That quote reminds me of the Morrissey quote in my signature . This sounds very INFP actually.

This rings true.

The Aesthetic

You scored 70Artist, 20 Philosopher, 10 Scientist!

As opposed to the other categories, your purpose in life is ... what we might call "aesthetic". That is, it revolves around nature ... the subtle harmonies of the earth; the visceral beauty of things, whether it is their smell or texture, form, etc. You find great joy in creating something, through any medium, that is an expression of your subjective experience of life. Strict intellectualism waters you down, and you find it difficult to cope with a strictly "rational" type. You find beauty in every orifice of existence, and see things in a way so as to envision the emotion or experience that conjured them. You would find happiness working in a way that allows you to express your individuality in some way ... hopefully an artistic field, but if this is not possible, a field in which personal creativity is valued. Examples of Aesthetics: Oscar Wilde, Picasso, Rasputin. Quote from an Aesthetic: "I feel like I have difficulty expressing myself in words. A lot of the time I don't think I put myself across the way that I intended or the way that I actually feel." -inspired (user name) Quote from another Aesthetic: "i see art and beauty everywhere i go." - Halcyon_dayz Another: "Life,thats my favorite thought. Vida,ese es mi pensamiento favorito." Another: "I am an artist so somewhere in my crazy life, i heard my calling loud and clear."

You scored 70% on Artist, higher than 99% of your peers.

The Introspector

You scored 28Artist, 55 Philosopher, 18 Scientist!
You are an abstract thinker and probably spend a good deal of time by yourself, or at least, isolated mentally. Much of the way you view the world is relativistic; shades of grey. Right and wrong may exist in extreme forms, but the world is mostly neutral to you. Your lifes purpose is to discover the meaning of your own existence; your tools are rational, self contained ones: Self questioning, criticism, and skepticism. Perhaps you've experienced clinical depression as a result of this arduous search. You may work as a teacher, or in a job that does not require you to pay too much attention (so as to allow for your day dreaming). You can be difficult to deal with in that you are a harsh judge of all things; you cannot tolerate foolishness and can be seen as petty at times or semantical in arguing points that are important to you but may seem meaningless to others. Be careful not to isolate yourself too much - prone to agoraphobia and other forms of social isolation. Examples of Introspective Types: Nietzsche, Heidegger, Sartre Quote from an Introspective Type: "I'm mostly concerned with idea's, human concepts and so forth. I want to understand the limitations of human understanding."
