Another one of those tests

Remember the last test I played with?  Today I was drawn to another one, and I laughed uproariously when I got the first results.  I already pointed out that these online tests are manipulatable and non-indicative.  While that is very true, and it holds true for this specific test as well, I still had to share these results.

If you take this test, read each question and the possible answers carefully and deliberately.  Do not pass on a question and come back to it; answer it before moving on and study them as necessary.  Your best first guess is normally the right — and most revealing — option, so keep that in mind.

For me, the results below are eerily accurate for a significant part of my personality.  I could take it again and, based on a more contemplative approach to the test, would come up with a different yet accurate response.  Still, I found this one to be personally ample.

Mind you, if you're not a humanist in any way, you're likely to bomb at this because it will mostly be contrary to or outside of your philosophical purview.

You are one of life’s enjoyers, determined to get the most you can out of your brief spell on Earth. Probably what first attracted you to atheism was the prospect of liberation from the Ten Commandments, few of which are compatible with a life of pleasure. You play hard and work quite hard, have a strong sense of loyalty and a relaxed but consistent approach to your philosophy.

You can’t see the point of abstract principles and probably wouldn’t lay down your life for a concept though you might for a friend. Something of a champagne humanist, you admire George Bernard Shaw for his cheerful agnosticism and pursuit of sensual rewards and your Hollywood hero is Marlon Brando, who was beautiful, irascible and aimed for goodness in his own tortured way.

Sometimes you might be tempted to allow your own pleasures to take precedence over your ethics. But everyone is striving for that elusive balance between the good and the happy life. You’d probably open another bottle and say there’s no contest.

What kind of humanist are you? Click here to find out.
