What's Your World View?

As for me, I was deemed a "Cultural Creative," which the site defines as follows:
Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.
"A modern thinker." That's by far preferable to my previous personality classification, "An infantine cretin who lucked into a Duke degree."
Other philosophical categories include Postmodernist, Idealist, Existentialist, Materialist, Modernist, Romanticist and, oy, Fundamentalist.

I am 69% Postmodernist (defined below) and 69% Cultural Creative. I think that means no one can stand to be near me.
Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.
Materialist.
Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.
Materialist 75%
Cultural Creative 63%
Existentialist 63%
Idealist 63%
Romanticist 44%
Postmodernist 44%
Modernist 25%
Fundamentalist 13%
I'm a Cultural Creative too, but I'm not entirely sure that's not code for "people who are just flying by the seat of their pants."
I heard Scott Stantis was %75 fundamentalist, %25 horrible cartoonist.
BWAHHHHHH!!! Best post ever.
I scored as a postmodernist (with a dash of materialism), but I think that should be subject to further scrutiny and interpretation....
100% postmodernist, 100% Existentialist; 75% Cultural Creative...0% Romanticist..
Yes, it's true.. I'm miserable jaded ex-Catholic.. Wish I could find my old pair of rosy Jesus goggles I wore as a youth, but they are gone forever..
