- Pythagorean
- Stoic
- Socratic
- Cynic
- Epicurean
- Sophist
- Cyrenaeic (hedonist)
Cynic was the one with the lowest score that wasn't zero. Fits pretty well.
The thing about making witty signature lines is that it first needs to actually be witty.

- 1 is: Cyrenaeic (hedonist)

I didn't score AT ALL on any of the others. Thought I'd be at least somewhat of a nihilist.
As for the philosopher guys.
- 1 is: Nietzsche
- 2 is: Sextus Empiricus

It means Lich, your philosophy is breaking the universe. Quit thinking like that.

Cynicism (and to a lesser extent Stoicism as well) as philosophies are not the same things as cynicism (and stoicism) in the vernacular.

Oh My
So I got in the order of strongest weakest: Cynic, Socratic, Stoic, Epicurean, Platonist, Pythagorean, Cyrenaeic, Sophist.
Second test: Augustine, Hume, Kant, Protagoras, Sextus Empiricus, Aristotle, Aquinas, Nietzsche, Plato.
"Their philosophy was that the purpose of life was to live a life of Virtue in agreement with Nature." Haha no. Some of it sounds right, but a lot of it is making me go "...but what is this Nature? Why isn't murder considered natural? We do it. It must be natural,".

@Aon: He had a lot to say, so it's hard to really put him in a box. Of course, I just read through his wiki page, so I'm not much more knowledgeable than yourself.

@Aon: My philosophy is self-consciously modeled on Augustine's, yet he only came in at #4.
Who is he? St. Augustine of Hippo was a Latin-speaking Berber who was active around the turn of the 5th century AD. The product of a mixed marriage between a Christian mother (St. Monica) and Pagan father (Patricius), he belonged to one of those eras when religion was a marketplace of ideas, and was a Manichean (a dualist religion founded a century before his birth) and a Platonist before becoming a Christian. As a bishop, he became the most influential thinker of the West. Leaving aside theology, he's enormously influential for his book The City of God, which basically created the pre-modern Western understanding of politics and religions in response to the sack of Rome by the Visigoths, and his Confessions, his self-critical autobiography noted for its perceptive analysis of psychology and the nature of time.
I can go on.

(Last two got zero points)
Fairly accurate, I'd say. Stoicism matches me to a "T".
EDIT: There is also a sister quiz here.
My results:
Zero points for the last three.
