But is the meme right ..?

I am surprised that hedonism didn't come higher percentagewise for wellinghall although otherwise I would say it looks in about the right order.

How much more accurate it is than giving "generally rightish" answers - no idea, I don't tend to set huge store in memes.

The quiz is a little generous with the "Existentialism" diagnosis, methinks. I'm a Kantian existentialist (80% of each), helflaed's a hedonist existentialist, and you appear to be a utilitarian one. Could it be so? Or does anyone who admits to thinking long and hard about his or her philosophy of life get existentialist points? :-)

I think that's probably it.
