Existentialist by teh intarweb

You scored as Existentialist. Existentialism emphasizes human capability. There is no greater power interfering with life and thus it is up to us to make things happen. Sometimes considered a negative and depressing world view, your optimism towards human accomplishment is immense. Mankind is condemned to be free and must accept the responsibility.

I strongly suspect this result was triggered by my answering "strongly agree" to "Mankind is condemned to be free (there is no outside control)", which now, post-testing, looks like a keyword-loaded statement. I was more agreeing with the part in parentheses than with the vaguely-dogmatic statement about "Mankind". Is that a quote from some famous dead person?

Also, how did I score 31% for Fundie? For the record, I think Fundamentalists of all stripes are dogmatic fools, and the doctrine of Fundamentalism for any ideology is stupid.

Otherwise, a mildly entertaining diversion from what I should be doing (reading papers about squishy things).

Hattip to Larry Moran at Sandwalk.
