Since you too have Kant at the top, I take it you too think of logic, reason, rationality, or whatever else one can call it, as rather important?

My problem is that when reading philosophy, I concentrate so much on the social philosophy (= philosophy that deals with society), that I tend to forget the morals.

hmm... I have Nietzche in top, is this good or bad?
He fits with my belief in that all people have their own free will and that there is no God, and most of the other stuff. But the thing about Masculinity, strength and passion being the ultimate qualitites for a person? I don't really agree about that... Or do I? This test freaks me out!

@Adrius Dude don't worry this test is very general. I'm attending philosophy class and the standards this tests uses to grade you differ from correctish to very vague so don't worry .
Just an example:
Ethical Philosophy Selector Rankings:
1. Ayn Rand (100 %) Here we should have Kant & Aristotle
3. John Stuart Mill (82 %) I agree with Utilitarianism but not with "Rightness dependent on the consequences of the action". See what I mean?
17. Thomas Hobbes (32 %) Hobbes should be in the first 5 but this test focuses on other core values of him than the ones I agree with thus he is down here.
The thing is that most of these philosophers have more than 1-2 core values. The test however determines your results on how much you agree with the ones they've picked out to represent the philosopher. When someone is on your top you may agree with some of his ideas but maybe not with all. Just like Adrius and Nietzsche.
EDIT: Nevertheless the results are not that random. As I said you will agree on some core values of that philosopher and well... seems like we have quiet the hedonists, "Übermenschen" and emotional people out there...
