Fun test. My top three were Epicureans (100%), Aristotle (78%) and
Rand (75%), which feels quite right. Mill (66%) and Spinoza (64%)
were a bit more surprising.

As for Rand-bashing, I think it is important to look beyond her
own person and her adherents to the *ideas* of her philosophy. If
we judged philosophers on how they lived their lives most of the
list at the site would be disqualified (Spinoza would probably
manage, but I doubt the others).
