If you've been paying attention, I like those little retardo quizes that come along (I also like those ridiculious email surveys that get chained around, but it's been a long time since I seen one).
Anyway, here's another one that actually comes close to getting me right, as least as far as the subject matter allows. Since my early twenties I've been facinated with the idea that there is no real truth to anything. That it's all open to interpertation.
That we can all speak English and yet it can be a foreign language sometimes with everyday conversation. Language is just agreed upon symbols and sometimes they are these subtle differences that can throw your ideas completely out of wack when you translate them to others. It's that game telephone, where you send a simple message around the room and it comes out with purple monkey dishwasher at the end.
That whole notion can probably be applied everywhere and to everything until the universe goes completely cold.
You scored as Postmodernist.
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

Huh, I wouldn't have guessed "Materialist", but I agree with what they say in the blurb.

You scored as 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.

You tied for three categories, can't you be a little more decisive? Three powers of three, too, that probably means you're some kind of Jedi or something.
My Idealism is 69. How's that for sweet symbolism!

You scored as Cultural Creative.
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.

>In the end there will be a togetherness (or oneness) of all things.
Umm.. yea, when we are all squished back into that miniscule speck that started the big bang. :)
