Do You Think What You Think You Think? by Julain Baggini and Jeremy Stangroom
Self-billed as "The Ultimate Philosophical Quiz Book". I'm not sure about that, but it is fun and it does make you review the ways in which you think, and shows you where your thought processes may be contradictory.
I surprised myself in that I am, seemingly, consistent in the majority of my opinions. Likewise, in the logic test I am too clever for my own good. In building my own God, I failed miserably in the area of calculating my own score, and it is not possible to determine the extent to which I see moral wrongdoing in universal terms, so I am neither fully universalizing nor fully relativizing. I am fully permissive though. I'm not sure what this means for my moral compass though. Sitting on a magnet under a pile of iron filings, probably.
