Requires More Thought

Pejman had a link to an "ethical philosophy selector." Here's how I came out:

1. John Stuart Mill   (100%)  
   
2. Kant   (93%)  
   
3. Epicureans   (90%)  
   
4. Jeremy Bentham   (78%)  
   
5. Jean-Paul Sartre   (77%)  
   
6. Prescriptivism   (65%)  
   
7. Ayn Rand   (64%)  
   
8. Thomas Hobbes   (60%)  
   
9. David Hume   (54%)  
   
10. Nietzsche   (54%)  
    
11. Spinoza   (53%)  
    
12. Cynics   (42%)  
    
13. Nel Noddings   (42%)  
    
14. Aquinas   (41%)  
    
15. Aristotle   (41%)  
    
16. Stoics   (39%)  
    
17. Ockham   (29%)  
    
18. St. Augustine   (18%)
    
19. Plato   (16%)
    

I'm not sure I agree completely with the rankings (Hobbes is too low, for example), but this clearly indicates that I need to read more philosophy in any case.
