Which Ancient Greek Philosopher Are You?

You got Aristotle! Logical and systematic, you gain information through deduction and inference. You’re a pragmatic person who draws conclusions on the world based on what you see rather than what you feel. Still, your philosophy isn't so one-dimensional. You know that the real world is a more complex place than restrictive logic, and you try to do the right thing even when there’s a conflict of values.

You got Socrates! Wise and virtuous, you value the mind far more than physical beauty or material possessions. You are a rare individual in that you actively question the people around you and find value in all perspectives, regardless of status or wealth. Above all, you strive to do the right thing and are admired by your loved ones for your strong moral compass and truly honorable actions.

You got Plato! Empathetic and understanding, you have little faith in superficial, material goods and believe in the greater power of the world of ideas. You are a humble and loyal friend who is easy to confide in, for your philosophy is one of equality among individuals. You are a deep thinker and thrive in conversations with those who inspire you, but your true gift is your ability to inspire others in small but profoundly meaningful ways.

You got Pyrrho! You have endured your fair share of hardships, but you remain optimistic that, one day, you will find inner peace. In the past, you have been overwhelmed by the structural constraints of what’s expected of you. You would much rather find your own path and know that there is not one ‘right’ way to live your life. You are a truly humble individual who never claims to know it all, but is instead content to take one day at a time.

You got Thales! Profoundly intelligent and ahead of your time, you face obstacles with a persistent and logical approach. You could argue your way out of anything with clear and concise logic, and you have a strongly scientific mind that pierces through the fog to find the heart of any complex situation. Your wit and nerve will take you very, very far.

You got Empedocles! Passionate and spirited, you are a rare and brave individual in that you see every situation for more than what it appears to be. You are a strong believer in the power of love, and your life is proof enough; although it’s been a bumpy ride, you actively pursue true love and self-love. Your enthusiasm and zest for life makes you an eccentric and magnetic friend, and a real, modern philosopher.
