Snaffled from Kathbad:

Your Score: The Gnostic

You scored 20 Materialism and 70 Phenomenology!

To you, the word "pleroma" doesn't sound like a brand of hair spray. No, you're the Gnostic, and you've embarked upon the path of secret knowledge through gnosis, or total spiritual awareness of the truth behind the veil.

A key to ancient gnostic thought was the demiurge myth, i.e. that the material world was created by a dystheist entity, Ialdoboath, that set itself up as an impostor of the true, all-beneficent God. You probably consider the material world a distraction, if not outright malevolent to your spiritual well-being, and have a hostility to established churches (that they used to kill thousands of you outright probably doesn't help).

Thinkers you may agree with: Karen Armstrong, Elaine Pagels, Plotinus
Thinkers to challenge you: Iraneus, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas

This is particularly interesting as I'm not a fan of gnostic texts, though there are some elements that I find sympathy with. Though in essence I think the test is probably more right than wrong.
