Philosophical Mutt

Clearly I'm confused, though also somewhat amused. Aquinas as my closest match? And how on earth does one mix and match the first three in such close proportion? (Philosophers, feel free to weigh in here.)

Perhaps I should adopt a new guiding principle: Quit taking internet quizzes. (They take up too much time, anyway, especially since I always want to rewrite the questions. Bet that doesn't surprise regular readers! Heh.)

"The list below is modified by your input. 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. However this is a philosophy that you may want to study further."
