What is your world view?

Postby formerly known as hf » Fri Jun 03, 2005 12:22 am

You scored as Postmodernist.

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.

Postmodernist 100%
Existentialist 63%
Cultural Creative 63%
Materialist 63%
Modernist 44%
Romanticist 44%
Idealist 13%
Fundamentalist 13%

Didn't tell me what I didn't know - and, as a postmodernist I see those kinds of limted questionnaires as a means to coming to any definitive answer very dubious...

but is was a laugh...

I see the world as flat.




P.S. I find these polls highly inaccurate. Oh, but I usually fall into the moderate/central area of the compass.

Yeah, that link ain't working for me.

On a related note, on a 'political leader' test, I am most similar to Abe Lincoln. One of my friends was Hitler. Interesting, wot?

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.

Ehm... well.. I broke down and got bored enough to stare at the quiz and take it... and this is what it came up with... guess it could be close enough to true... :? I'm really borderline (No, not the personality disorder :P).

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.

Surprise...(not)

Fundamentalism represents a movement in opposition to Modernism, stressing the highest importance on foundational religious tradition. Science has brought on corruption of society. God is real and is watching. Scripture leaves little room for interpretation; man is God’s creation. About a quarter of the population in the U.S. is classified as Fundamentalist.

I agree that people see things in a different light...that doesn't mean everyone sees it correctly. It takes a humble approach to admit that some of the things we (I) do are wrong. It's the easy path to say, "How can anyone say what I do is wrong. There is more than one right way."

What I think is funny is that is called the Post Modern viewpoint. It's ironic that the first 2 people on earth thought that way.

You scored as Modernist.



Modernism represents the thought that science and reason are all we need to carry on. Religion is unnecessary and any sort of spirituality halts progress. You believe everything has a rational explanation. 50% of Americans share your world-view.

Haha. I have a degree in Religious Studies 'cause I'm fascinated by other people's religious experiences while refusing to define my own. I also studied film and wrote a lot of papers about religious symbolism in film and literature. I think this little test describes me pretty well.

What worries me is that I score so low on "idealist". Have I lost all ideals? Have I lost all hope?!
