I don't think one was posted yet (couldn't find it), but mods feel free to delete if it's a duplicate. http://dichotomytests.com/test.html?id=0
I'm fairly down the middle M v S: 48.3 v 51.7 E v A: 40.3 v 59.7 I v P 54.7 v 45.3 H v A: 43.9 v 56.1 N v M: 50 v 50 R v R: 55.9 v 44.1 S v A: 50 v 50
Not a big fan of dichotomy tests (they feel a bit too limiting), but seemed interesting to try anyway. Here are my results:
Materialism vs Spiritualism 60.0% 40.0% There is no god but my stuff Egoism vs Altruism 34.2% 65.8% This makes me out to be a lot nicer than my self-image. I therefore reject it entirely. Idealism vs Pragmatism 50.6% 49.4% I hate Idealists. But then, I am self-loathing. Hedonism vs Asceticism 31.4% 68.6% Pleasure bores me. Nihilism vs Moralism 57.3% 42.7% No meaning but what we make of it. Rationalism vs Romanticism 69.7% 30.3% You expected something different from a guy whose friends call him "Evil Spock" and "Computer Soul?" Skepticism vs Absolutism 68.8% 31.3% If it can't be expressed in numbers, it's an opinion.
I don’t know how to post an image from a phone and with no access to image hosting, and can’t quite justify the premium membership though it is next on the list of things for me, but anyway. I’m broadly fifty fifty, with a heavy lean toward altruism, spiritualism and asceticism.
Some of these questions need to be qualified more. Like "Emotions should never be considered in making decisions". What decisions? Personal relationship decisions or scientific belief decisions? "People have a right to pursue as much pleasure as possible." You mean, above moral considerations or within moral considerations? These results show the trouble making dichotomies out of everything. A lot of my positions on these spectrum are not one dimensional, or they're conditional or situational. Materialism vs Spiritualism 52.3-47.7 I believe the physical world is made of material, but in considerations of the human world are 'Virtually spiritual', greater than the sum of the material that humans are made of. Egoism vs Altruism 27.3-72.7 If I'm being completely honest my responses may not necessarily reflect my behavior if it ever came down to the hard decisions, but I hope they would. And the wording of these questions don't match the description. The description is individualism vs collectivism but all the questions are "How selfish are you". Idealism vs Pragmatism 63.1-36.9 I'm idealistic in pursuit and goal, pragmatic in procedure for attaining that goal. Hedonism vs Asceticism 43.9-56.1 I don't believe pleasure and meaning are conflicting pursuits. Nihilism vs Moralism 55.0-45.0 I believe morality is objective, but situational and arising from human constructs rather than anything inherent in the universe. Rationalism vs Romanticism 53.4-46.6 Rationalism in terms of belief, romanticism in terms of personal relationships. Skepticism vs Absolutism 62.5-37.5 I believe we should always be skeptical, but scientific and mathematical facts can indeed just be proven. Moral issues can never be completely understood. There are objective truths, but no human is smart enough to be sure they have achieved them. These seven categories being treated as one dimensional spectra make them too broad to apply to fully describe how a person thinks.
Similar with me, which is perhaps my results where middle of the road as often we do not deal with absolutes.
Why do these things always have so many questions? I seem to be close to the middle or slightly right-heavy on the on a lot of these. Here are my results: Materialism vs Spiritualism 43.3, %56.7% Egoism vs Altruism 46.4, %53.6% Idealism vs Pragmatism 51.6, %48.4% Hedonism vs Asceticism 41.1, %58.9% Nihilism vs Moralism 39.3, %60.7% Rationalism vs Romanticism 50.0, %50.0% Skepticism vs Absolutism 43.8, %56.3% Kor
If I'd have known there would be a "subscribe to pewdiepie" link at the end, I never would have done the test. What does that say about me?
