Explanation:
| “ | 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. | „ |
| “ | 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. | „ |
Tiebreaker question was to choose which of these is more true:
- 1. Interpretation is an intrinsic feature of the fabric of the universe.
- 2. Mankind is condemned to be free. (there is no outside control)
The former sounded better (it's kind of the ultimate tiebreaker, allowing consciousness as a "Factor X", or not), tilting me slightly toward Postmodern.
About a year ago I scored a three-way tie among the above two and "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. | „ |
... which had as a tiebreaker question: "There is a spiritual side to being human". But seem to have grown more "cynical" since then... will probably bring that score back up when the organism is less stressed. ;-)
