Philosophical Profile

Inspired by the blog of someone much more schooled in philosophy than myself, and desperately trying to avoid doing any work, I have taken this philosophy quiz.

Rand and Aristotle are no surprise, but I wasn't expecting Kant to be so high. More reading is, as usual, in order.

Also, how did you answer question 7? That probably has something to do with Kant being so high on your results. It almost a direct quote of Kant's categorical imperative.
I have to say, though, that Ayn Rand's appearance among the names on this quiz was a bit of a surprise. She's not quite among equals.
