Easier than going to an 8am Philosophy 101 lecture

You scored as Utilitarianism. Your life is guided by the principles of Utilitarianism: You seek the greatest good for the greatest number.


“The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.”
--Jeremy Bentham


“Whenever the general disposition of the people is such, that each individual regards those only of his interests which are selfish, and does not dwell on, or concern himself for, his share of the general interest, in such a state of things, good government is impossible.”
--John Stuart Mill

Wow, cool quiz! I gotta say, only a southern girl like you could score Utilitarianism and Divine Command THAT close together :)

Apparently I scored as Existentialism. " You choose the meaning and purpose of your life."

I can dig it :)

I know. It's the perfect blending of "Be hospitable and go to church!", isn't it?

And you gotta give me props on getting 60% for hedonism. Comes from all that cow tipping and train surfing!
