Unexpected result.

Usually when I take one of these memes I have a pretty good sense of what the answer is going to be as I'm going along, but every once in awhile I'm surprised by the result.  I was expecting existentialism, or at worst apathy.  Who'd have thought that I was a utilitarian at heart?

You scored as Utilitarianism. Your life is guided by the principles of Utilitarianism:  You seek the greatest good for the greatest number. “The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.” --Jeremy Bentham “Whenever the general disposition of the people is such, that each individual regards those only of his interests which are selfish, and does not dwell on, or concern himself for, his share of the general interest, in such a state of things, good government is impossible.” --John Stuart Mill More info at Arocoun's Wikipedia User Page... </td> Utilitarianism 80% Hedonism 75% Kantianism 65% Existentialism 60% Strong Egoism 60% Justice (Fairness) 50% Nihilism 40% Apathy 25% Divine Command 20% What philosophy do you follow?

It's pretty accurate. Large parts of my personality are about avoiding thinking about life (apathy), part of me is selfish (hedonism), part of me wishes the bad guys would get what they deserve (justice) and the rest of the time I wonder what all the absurdity is about (existentialism).

You scored as Divine Command. Your life is directed by Divine Command: Your god and religion give you meaning and direction. “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.” --King James Version of the Bible “Even as a tree has a single trunk but many branches and leaves, there is one religion--human religion--but any number of faiths.” --Mahatma Gandhi More info at Arocoun's Wikipedia User Page... </td> Existentialism 70% Divine Command 70% Hedonism 70% Utilitarianism 55% Justice (Fairness) 55% Kantianism 55% Apathy 30% Strong Egoism 25% Nihilism 0% What philosophy do you follow?
