Your Score: The Existentialist

You scored 60 Materialism and 60 Phenomenology!

Spending equal time in the material and phenomenological realms, the deep thinker, condemned to be free, you are the Existentialist.

Life to you is about choices, and those choices occur not only within the physical environment but the context provided by our individual perceptions and self-moulded codes of behavior. You could be a Christian, agnostic, or atheist existentialist, the philosophy doesn't really force you to choose anything on that front, but while others are merely content with what is, you stand apart by concerning yourself with what it is to be.

Thinkers you may agree with: Jean-Paul Sartre, Soren Kierkegaard, Martin Heidegger, Paul Tillich
Thinkers to challenge you: A.J. Ayer, Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno

That's very cool. On this evidence, I confess, I would buy your book. (Tho', obviously, not believe it...)

That made me laugh so hard my co-workers came over to see what I was doing instead of working. So busted!
