    I don't think so to be honest. It's not like philosophy is a buffet breakfast from which you can pick as you please. I mean, a lot of combinations are just impossible because like they claim contradictory things (like utilitarianism - Kantianism, utilitarianism - egoism, nihilism - divine command, etc.). It's also not like you can pick only parts of a theory, for instance utilitarianism only works as a whole, you can't say 'I accept it for 50 %'. You know, the thing is these theories all give different ways how to live (more or less) and you can't live in nine different ways at the same time. So I'd say ideally you'd have 100 % for one or maybe two theories, and 0 % for the rest.
    That's why I was trying to figure out the percentages on the quiz. But I have to admit, that I do follow each one except the last one on my list at some time in my life. I can be both selfish and giving depending on the circumstances. My selfishness will say no to my children if I really need the money to pay my bill, yet I can at the same time give as much time as they need without even a thought to my need. Could it be that we ebb and flow between these philosophies depending on the at the moment circumstances. I mean it wouldn't be a drastic change, but I can see where on any given circumstance I could have answered the questions differently.

    Hedonism, as it says, is the moral theory that says pleasure is the greatest good: people should primarily live to maximalise pleasure (preferably their own). Existentialism is a very broad movement, but it puts very much emphasis on the individual and says every individual is free and responsible for his own actions / choices, so you can't blame society, authority, or whatever. Divine command more or less speaks for itself, then you think people should live in accordance to the work of God. Justice (fairness) is a bit vague, but you can say it rests on the emotion of fairness, that is, something is good when you 'feel' it is right. Strong egoism speaks for itself, it says everyone should exclusively act in their own interest. Kantianism, named after Immanuel Kant, states you should judge every action by its principle, that is, your action is good only if you would wish the principle behind it was a moral law for everyone (thus: you may never lie, for instance, whatever the consequences). Utilitarianism, my personal favourite, states more or less the opposite: an action is good if the consequences are good, no matter what intention involved, and the consequences are good when they promote as much happiness as possible for as many people as possible. Apathy means you're to lazy to even worry about all of this and nihilism says it makes no sense to worry about all of this because all norms, values or moral laws are total rubbish anyway.




    So you seem to be an existential hedonist, which I don't believe is an official movement but it probably means you principly think every individual is responsible for their own pleasure and we are all free to do whatever deems us most tasty. That's quite cool.
    Nice explanation!

    I thought the questions were rubbish... most were too open-ended. Nevertheless, here's the shit.

    Justice (Fairness)

    Your life is guided by the concept of Fair Justice: Everyone, yourself included, should be rewarded and punished according to the help or harm they cause. "He who does not punish evil commands it to be done."--Leonardo da Vinci “Though force can protect in emergency, only justice, fairness, consideration and cooperation can finally lead men to the dawn of eternal peace.”
