Your worldview

[Mesmeric_Moon]

So...how do you see the world?

What is your worldview? Take the worldview-test now!

My result:

The worldview you identify with most is called integrative. Out of 17 questions, you have a total score of 7 on this worldview. (This score is calculated by counting the times you "most agreed" with this worldview, subtracted by the times you "least agreed" with this worldview.)

You also scored quite high on the postmodern worldview. You have a total score of 6 on this worldview.

The worldview you identify with least is called traditional. You have a total score of 12 on this worldview. (This score is calculated by counting the times you "least agreed" with this worldview, subtracted by the times you "most agreed" with this worldview.)

Integrative worldviews

People with integrative worldviews generally try to bring together and synthesize elements or domains that in other worldviews are viewed as mutually exclusive, such as science and spirituality, rationality and imagination, economy and ecology, humanity and nature ~ domains that in the West have been in conflict for centuries. In this worldview, such opposing perspectives or domains are understood “on a deeper level” to be part of a greater whole or synthesis.

The view of reality is of a great interconnected whole, which is both spiritual and physical ~ a larger consciousness or divine reality uniting all the separate elements of our experience. The divine is both immanent and transcendent: God is in the world, and the world is in God. The process of (biological) evolution is frequently understood as driven by a creative spirit or divine force.

Such a holistic perspective results in “both-and” rather than “either-or” thinking, which can lead to great social, cultural, economic, and technological innovations. It may also lead to a profound sense of connection with nature, and an understanding of earthly life as imbued with consciousness or “spirit.” Nature tends to be seen as having intrinsic value and spiritual significance.

The individual is prominent in this worldview, and there often is a great focus on the development or evolution of one’s “higher self” or full human potential (e.g., through spiritual or other practices). Universal, existential concerns ~ such as life and death, self-actualization, global awareness, and serving society, humanity, or even “life” at large ~ are often of central importance.

Be honest, you just didn't know the answer to 2+7 or you're a robot.

I'll see if I can post the other 3 results (there are 4 possible results) so you and anyone else who likes can decide on their own which one fits then best.

 

[Mesmeric_Moon]

Here are the 3 other possible results for the test:

Traditional worldviews

People with traditional worldviews tend to find their answers to ‘the great questions of life’ in longstanding traditions and conventions, often centered on their religious faith. Not surprisingly then, they tend to trust religious authorities ~ such as scriptures, doctrines, and (religious) leaders ~ and take their word as truth.

Generally speaking, the focus is on the community and the family, rather than on the individual. Taking care of each other tends to be valued higher than going out on your own and making it for yourself: values like solidarity, service to others, humility, and self-sacrifice are central. The social order in the form of social roles and rules tends to be accepted rather than questioned or rebelled against, thus emphasizing obedience and conformity. Also values like honesty, decency, dedication, sobriety, and discipline are considered very important.

There is generally a belief in (a biblical notion of) Creation, seeing the world as created by a higher, divine force, which is transcendent to its creation. The world is thus created by God, but also separate from God. Similarly, humanity is seen as fundamentally different from nature. The relationship with nature is frequently understood in terms of ‘dominion’ or ‘stewardship’: nature is something that we as humans can use for our own purposes, but also have to take care of.

Modern worldviews

People with modern worldviews tend to emphasize rationality, science, logic, and critical thinking, and they often question imposed views from (religious) traditions and the past. To do something “because we have always done it” is not an argument for moderns. Science is often seen as the ultimate ~ and sometimes even exclusive ~ source of reliable knowledge: it is the way to find out what is real and true.

The vision of reality tends to be (philosophically) materialistic: there is nothing beyond what we can observe with the senses and their extensions (e.g., microscopes). Life is a product of random, unconscious evolutionary processes, and the existence of a higher power, divine reality, or intangible dimension is frequently rejected. This creates a separation between humans as conscious subjects in a world of unconscious objects, as well as between mind and body.

This separation tends to lead to immense scientific, technological, social, and economic progress. Simultaneously, it facilitates the exploitation of nature. As nature is no longer seen as something with spirit or intelligence, or as a larger order we need to adapt to, it becomes an object we use for our own purposes: a tree is timber, and man is the measure of all things. In response to environmental and societal challenges, science and technology are generally seen as the solutions.

The focus is on the individual rather than on the community: people have pride in making it on their own, and being independent and ‘self-made’. Moderns tend to be driven to perform and achieve professionally, and the joy in life is predominantly found in material pleasures. Individualistic and hedonistic values ~ such as autonomy, freedom, success, performance, social recognition, material comfort, and fun ~ are usually dominant

Postmodern worldviews

People with postmodern worldviews tend to acknowledge and value multiple perspectives on reality. They are aware that people see life very differently, and that all these different perspectives are valuable. In this view, truth is thus relative, contextual, and subjective (e.g., informed by moral, emotional, and artistic dimensions), rather than being objective as modern science claims.

The view of reality is diverse and undefined, characterized by uncertainty and ambiguity. The postmodern’s capacity to see and validate multiple perspectives can lead to an intense relativism, in which reality or truth itself is contested: because we all have a different perspective on reality, reality in itself does not exist. Frequently, these people either adhere to a liberal (interpretation of their) religion or spirituality, or display an agnostic attitude, saying that “we don’t know” whether there is a divine being, force, or reality.

As the name reveals, postmodern worldviews tend to define themselves in opposition to modernity, frequently resulting in a critical attitude towards the modern model of society (e.g., emphasis on material progress, modern science and technology, capitalism). According to this perspective, quality of life cannot be found in merely material comfort and pleasures. Instead, postmodernists often emphasize “post-material” values, like creativity, uniqueness, authenticity, imagination, feeling, and intuition.

Quality of life is also fought for in public life. This is reflected in the rise of social movements since particularly the 1960’s, which promote, among others, peace, feminism, gay rights, and the environment. There is a strong emphasis on the unique, expressive individual. Yet many of the prime concerns of postmodernists are of a social nature: the well-being of the community is important, and this community includes “other” people, different from one’s own religion, race, class, or group. Diversity, heterogeneity, pluralism, and multiculturalism are celebrated.

Great values of the postmodern worldview:

Respect for other views and perspectives

Commitment to social justice; supporting those who need it most

Associated with (global) environmental concern and care

Questions the modern status quo

So...which one do you identify with folks? Do tell.

 

[Norexan]

The worldview you identify with most is called integrative. Out of 17 questions, you have a total score of 4 on this worldview. (This score is calculated by counting the times you "most agreed" with this worldview, subtracted by the times you "least agreed" with this worldview.)

The worldview you identify with least is called traditional. You have a total score of 6 on this worldview. (This score is calculated by counting the times you "least agreed" with this worldview, subtracted by the times you "most agreed" with this worldview.)


Great values of the integrative worldview:

• Overcoming dualisms/polarities often results in innovation and effective communication (see my signature)
• Commitment to universal, existential values and concerns
• Works on ‘self’, is highly self-reflexive
• Strong appreciation for, and connection to, nature (and even existence as a whole).

Room for growth for the integrative worldview:

• A focus on inner changes may result in a lack of commitment to engage in political or worldly issues Nope.
• There may be little willingness to sacrifice, and the demands on life tend to be high (“I want it all!”).

Be honest, you just didn't know the answer to 2+7 or you're a robot.

It's true, in a way. Almost.

I'm not a bot on this forum, but on that quiz's website, I might be.

And I know the answer to 2+7, but I'm too lazy to type it out. I'd rather make excuses. It's more fun.

I'll see if I can post the other 3 results (there are 4 possible results) so you and anyone else who likes can decide on their own which one fits then best.

Thanks!

Integrative.

When growing up, I found most my age were modernists and now the age I am now I find more post modernists. I still feel like my integrative worldview to be a bit of a rarity in my subjective experience of people who I met.

Same result, although there was some conflict in that where other perspectives sounded closer to the way I process inside, this one wins out in my real life choices, and I went with the latter influence for selecting my answers here. I feel like it was a tough process to arrive there, and I'm still working to find where that world needs me, but I have a strong will to keep on with that, and this space is not something I would willingly shift from in the absence of a truly shattering argument or experience.

[Peter Deadpan]

Postmodern with a score of 7, followed by Integrative with a score of 6. I scored lowest on traditional. Shocker.
Basically, I value acknowledging and respecting the existence of various perspectives, and I don't like the constraints of expectations or tradition. I'm guessing this is a common result for millennial ENFPs.
