I did it for a second time and gave myself less time to think about the answers and I got worse results. Apparently I'm incredibly schizoid!

I wish this thing said I was more messed up.
 | You scored as Albert Camus. You are Albert Camus, so you are one sweet absurdist. He built largely upon the framework of existentialists before him, but introduced the concept that life is absurd, but that we should continue living anyway. You have strong liberal leanings, although you annoy the Communists. You are susceptible to driving fast, and possibly crashing into a tree.

Which Existentialist Philosopher Are You?

I love Camus. I don't love Neitzsche. Hmmm.... I am an existentialist but also an idealist and a humanist. I want to change the world but believe its inevitably pointless.
Funny neh?
