the freedom to change my mind

I did the philosopher quiz again and some of my scores shifted sharply from two years ago:

  • 1.00 John Stuart Mill (same)
  • .96 Epicureans (was .76)
  • .95 Rand (was .44)
  • .94 Noddings (was .44)
  • .88 Hobbes (was .34)
  • .82 Cynics (was .30)
  • .77 Sartre (was .63)
  • .74 Nietzsche (was .22)
  • .72 Kant (was .65)
  • .68 Bentham (was .82)
  • .63 Spinoza (was .41)
  • .60 Hume (was .25)
  • .60 Prescriptivism (was .44)
  • .58 Stoics (was .22)
  • .51 Aristotle (was .51)
  • .48 Aquinas (was .55)
  • .29 Augustine (was .31)
  • .19 Ockham (was .26)
  • .07 Plato (was .16)

(Summary of the 19 positions.) The results page says:

The results are scored on a curve. The highest score, 100, represents the closest philosophical match to your reponses. This is not to say that you and the philosopher are in total agreement.

So absolute comparisons are less meaningful than one might prefer.
