You have strong liberal leanings, although you annoy the Communists. You are susceptible to driving fast, and possibly crashing into a tree. Albert Camus 71% Jean-Paul Sartre 68% Friedrich Nietzsche 61% Martin Heidegger 46% Soren Kierkegaard 29% Not An Existentialist 14%

Well personally I am more familiar, and resonate more with Sartre and Nietzsche amongst the big existentialist names. Kierkegaard is fine, actually, but his “leap to faith” seems to just repeat what good ol’ Ecclesiastes mentioned a good few thousand years ago.

Camus - hmm, I have heard of this name. Perhaps the only reason why I would resonate with him is for his idea of the ‘absurd’ (which Kierkegaard mentioned before him), but it is not one of the most fundamental things in my existential style. Sartre lags close behind a really tight 3% - must be a slightly-skewed answer I gave there I think. But who cares? Sartre is but another “empty” vessel without intrinsic meaning. :p

Try the quiz, all ye existentialists - it’s quite fun actually, some of the questions are really absurd (meaning weird), heh.
