I'm a "cultural creative." Discourse.Net (where I found the quiz) is an existentialist. Here are my results:

You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

Cultural Creative 69%
Postmodernist 63%
Existentialist 56%
Materialist 38%
Romanticist 31%
Modernist 25%
Idealist 19%
Fundamentalist 0%

Anyway, if you have a moment for fun today, take the test.

    You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis. Postmodernist 94% Materialist 88% Existentialist 75% Cultural Creative 63% Modernist 31% Fundamentalist 25% Idealist 25% Romanticist 19%

    The test must be broken, I got the same top result as TL. I don't think the quiz does a very good job factoring in "Hell if I know" based responses. Cultural Creative 81% Materialist 75% Modernist 69% Existentialist 56% Postmodernist 44% Romanticist 19% Idealist 19% Fundamentalist 13%

    Materialist...but Blagh really couldn't make heads or tails of many of the questions and took a stab...he doesn't look as deeply into these things, so he doesn't know how he feels about half the questions...

    You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility. Existentialist 81% Idealist 69% Modernist 63% Materialist 63% Postmodernist 50% Cultural Creative 50% Romanticist 31% Fundamentalist 6% Now, I just have to seek treatment for that 6% fundamentalism.

    The only useful personality test I've dealt with is the one associated with the book Now Discover Your Strengths. It's primarily business-oriented (my office uses its lessons, to good effect), but it has broader application. Unfortunately, you have to buy the book to take the test.

    You scored as Materialist. Cyndi Lauper and I..... Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements. Materialist 81% Postmodernist 69% Existentialist 63% Modernist 56% Cultural Creative 56% Romanticist 44% Fundamentalist 19% Idealist 0%

    I think it quite funny that I scored as a Post-modern Idealist. Seems like some sort of contradiction, but then again, maybe not....ahem. Postmodernist 94% Idealist 81% Cultural Creative 69% blah blah blah. I love these quiz thingies, even though one cannot take them all that seriously.

    You scored as Idealist. Idealism centers around the belief that we are moving towards something greater. An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within ourselves, waiting to emerge over time. Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.

    Idealist

    		75%

    Cultural Creative

    		56%

    Postmodernist

    		50%

    Romanticist

    		44%

    Fundamentalist

    		44%

    Existentialist

    		38%

    Materialist

    		13%

    Modernist

    		6%

    Pretty good, though some of the questions I had no idea what they were asking. Scary thing is that I tend to agree with the assesment. You scored as Romanticist. Romanticism encourages society to look backwards to find our solutions. Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society. You believe in a simple life and that the complexities of the modern world have turned it upside down.

    I love psychobabble. Can you believe I am a Cultural Creative?

Materialist 75% Existentialist 63% Cultural Creative 56% Idealist 56% Postmodernist 50% Modernist 50% Romanticist 25% Fundamentalist 6% All in all fairly balanced for an agnostic socialist. I can be romantic when it's called for ladies. Don't much care for the Materialist label, tho. Maybe Pragmatist would be more appropo. I yam what I yam.

    I came up Existentialist, pretty accurate as well I think.

    “More reaction to my scores in a bit.” If I had to guess I would say TS was struck speechless by the similarity in our top scoring categories.
