Quizzes are fun, aren't they? Here's one on ethics. I'm so absurdly bad at ethics that I have no idea if I should be happy with my result or not. Man, I really ought to take some of those undergrad classes again. The descriptions of the various philosophers seem a bit dodgy, though (see for example Nietzsche), so I don't know how accurate the quiz is... Still, good, if a bit nerdy, fun.

Both my wife and I did this one. I came out 100% Aquinas and something like 98% Augustine. Sharon was the same on Aquinas, lower on Augustine but it was still second place. But Nietzsche was way higher on her list. Hobbes was my lowest. Neat poll.
I too was 100% on Aquinas. I wonder if someone is pushing a barrow with this poll...
My Augustine was a little lower, can't remember what it was now.
I've been doing a fair bit of study in Aquinas recently through a course on Grace and a course on Ecology. I know for certain that we diverge at certain points, but ethically there is likely a lot of common ground. The most fun part of this was the discussion on utilitariainism that broke out with my spouse and I after the poll.
Oh dear, I'm not sure I could handle a discussion about utilitarianism with my wife...
I came out 100% Augustine. Aquinas was second. Hobbes was my lowest. So there is substantial similarity among those of us here - Although we probably are going to get a skewed result since I have a feeling theological bloggers represent a very particular demographic.
Utilitarianism and marriage don't mix well.
Does utilitarianism mix well with anything? :-)
Delusion, missing the point, manipulation... No disrespect to your wife, though. ;)
