First DarkSat, Oct 4, 2008 Hmm.. well, based upon this quiz, it looks as though I'm something of a misfit:
Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.
Many of the questions weren't well-worded or specific enough for me to give solid answers for, but I guess this description of a 'Postmodernist' is about 75% right. Unfortunately, I've mostly heard scathing criticism of Postmodernism by many people that I very much respect...
However, I honestly can't say I've ever used any of these labels to describe myself. Interesting how low I scored on 'Cultural Creative' though, especially since I agree with basically all of the characteristics and values detailed on the Wikipedia article.
I'll add that I completely agree with alienastronaut's perspective on that blurb.
