I looked at that test and by about the third question I was like "wtf, these are the stupidest questions I've ever seen!"
Discussion of philosophy takes you further from the truth, not closer. It's nothing but mental masturbation that's just another layer of armor to keep people from looking at themselves. The truth you see in the mirror is always the hardest truth to accept. Intellect and thought are a means of avoiding that truth.
Ironic how that works. The more you study and learn, the stupider you get.
This is just plain nonsense. Let me ask you something ... when you were born ... what did you know about life ? NOTHING ... so you've started little by little to learn new things, new experiences ... shortly put ... to EVOLVE. But ... you say that the more you "study and learn" the stupider you get ... well my friend ... I guess you can see the nonsense now ... at least I hope you can.
"Mental masturbation" ? ... I guess that's your way of puting the idea that ... "hey, why bother thinking in this life ??? why bother understanding different people, different philosophies, different points of view ? neah ... that is just a plain ... mental masturbation".
How can you tell what the truth is when you don't know how to analyze the facts first ? And how do you analyze them .... by thinking, by having an open mind, yes ... by doing a ... "mental masturbation" like you've so elegantly put it.
So ... my conclusion is that I am ok with your type of judgement, but it's never too late to enlarge your views a little.

While this statement certainly sounds cool and, apparently without irony, philosophical, I doubt it holds much weight...
Philosophy and intellect, and certainly thought itself, do not necessarily have anything to do with "looking at yourself".
To know oneself you must not think?

The point of philosophy isn't to find a concrete answer.
If it were it would have been over a long time ago. 
Well actually I think the point is finding a concrete answer. The thing is the answer is not concrete as "can be complied to every situation" but "can be aplied only to the situation at hand which is defined as xyz"? I mean philosophers have been looking for patterns/explanations since philosophy started and I think they've succeded in explaining/answering the patterns/the questions of their time. Of course not everything philosophers have found out is still valid today and vice versa (if that would be possibly). But depending on the situation you'll find that people have already thought about them and found answers (of course that doesn't mean that they have to work for you as I tried to explain).

Interesting, how my philosophy slowly changes. Ironic that Sartre, who is well-known for his left-wing thought, is at the top. And Thomas Hobbes, who favored authoritarianism, is second. Strange.

So maybe all those quote wars have been doing something good to you afterall.
But seriously. Left-authoritan means a society like Platon's utopia. Techically it's the best kind of society, at least imo.
At least you're starting to stray farther from Ayn-Rand, slowly but surely.

Left-authoritan. Ever read the book death?
Lol, Ash! I've always known you hated women somewhere deep inside, ironic, but "all we do we do to have sex" ? That was new.
