Apparently, I really am a postmodernist...


Your Score: The Post-Modernist


You scored 80 Materialism and 60 Phenomenology!




Truth? Under what cultural premises? Identity? What is the relationship between signifier and signified? If large swaths of your conversations tend to take the form of rhetorical questions, you may be a Post-Modernist.

Post-Modernism arose in the 20th Century as both a reaction to and as the newest development of modernism. Post-modernists take unbounded joy in taking a sledgehammer to calcified power structures in philosophy and ethics, denying not just formal religions but anything they see as possessing a structure that constricts the freedom of truth and meaning to explode into every variation of itself. To a Post-Modernist, the underlying metaphysics of the universe are never there to build one meaning, but all possible meanings.

Now if only you could make youself understandable!
