I see I've been classified as yet another Kantian. Interestingly, I think I came closer to [livejournal.com profile] a_just_society than [livejournal.com profile] semiotic_trader, although we all seem pretty compatible. Like my brother, I'm a little surprised at how high my affinity is for Ayn Rand. Must have been my emphasis on rationality, but if you're going to reject a spiritual basis for morality, what's left? Well, compassion, of course, which I suspect explains the 35% difference.

The quiz is here if you want to see how you're classified.
