Mini-Test: Are You a Nihilist?

---------- Nihilism () , rooted in radical skepticism, denies the existence of objective meaning, truth, or values, asserting that human constructs such as morality and purpose are baseless. It challenges foundational beliefs by deconstructing metaphysical systems and positing that knowledge itself is uncertain or unattainable. From a spiritual lens, nihilism often confronts traditional religious frameworks by rejecting divine authority or cosmic purpose, leading to existential despair or liberation depending on one’s response. While it can evoke a sense of purposelessness, some thinkers like Nietzsche suggest that working through nihilism can pave the way for creating new values and affirming life authentically. Read the following statements and select those that reflect your way of thinking.  I do not believe in any higher power, divine plan, or cosmic justice governing the universe  I see truth as a fluid concept, shaped by perception and devoid of any ultimate foundation  I accept that my own existence is accidental and lacks any predetermined reason for being  I acknowledge that death is final and offers no continuation or transcendence beyond physical existence  I reject the existence of objective moral values; right and wrong are human constructs with no universal basis  I accept that human achievements, art, and culture are ultimately insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe Count the number of boxes selected and examine the resulting profile. 0: You are not a nihilist at all! 1-2: You are mildly fascinated by nihilism 3-4: You have nihilistic tendencies 5-6: You are the embodiment of nihilism More mini tests and quizzes on The Spiritual Seek () website.
