However, I was surprised to see that my best metaphysician is Mill too, according to the test:

#1 John Stuart Mill

#3 George Berkeley
#4 Thomas Reid
#5 Jean Paul Sartres
#6 G. W. F. Hegel
#7 Aristotle
#8 William James
#9 W. V. O. Quine

Yea, I'm confused as well, Gurdur, considering I'm no fan of utilitarianism and I'm not too keen on Epicureanism or Hume either. Curious how I have high rates with stoicism and Hume at the same time. And for the record I hold Plato and Aristotle in much higher regard than Aquinas or Rand.

Not exactly surprised. I consistently score high on Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, and Sartre in the other tests. Oh well...it has something to do with my pessimism, supposedly.
