I just took an interesting quiz and thought people here might be interested too.

What is Your World View? (http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=23320)


I scored as Postmodernist :grin: (materialist is higher for me than I would have thought though) :-?

Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

You scored as Materialist.

Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.

You scored as Idealist.

Idealism centers around the belief that we are moving towards something greater. An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within ourselves, waiting to emerge over time. Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.

You scored as Cultural Creative.

Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

Some of the questions are open to different interpretations. They really need to be placed in a broader discussion so that they could be defined contextually. I found others to be somewhat pretentious.

Still, it was fun.

You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

Well, here's what I got.

You scored as Complete *******

Complete Assholes are probably one of the oldest groups in existence, and among its hallowed ranks, lays claim to politicians, lawyers, generals, and residents of ivory towers. This group centers around the belief that it is perfectly acceptable to force one's own views on others, and when encountering dissent or disagreement, the offending elements or individuals are judiciously ignored. Passive agression is a common form of behaviour. Those who do not understand this behaviour often respond by crying, or grudging acceptance, or, in the case of wild, dazzlingly beautiful women, awe and sexual desire. The meaning of life is whatever you decide, and all other views are wrong.

Don't thnk that's a good idea. Some might offended by the fact that some mght say something that completely makes fun or offends someone's religious believes (like, meine).
