What precisely is meant by "What priority do you place on your selection above? High Medium Low "?

Not a clue, I left them all on medium.

I overall didn't care for the test (nor felt it was accurate regarding my similarities to other philosophers). I left a 1-star rating for it and an understandable review:

Ultra-simple: add more options in with words such as "not necessarily" or "dependent upon the context" or that otherwise diversify the pool philosophical considerations. While i ultimately disagree with most philosophers (especially in regards to ethics) it couldn't hurt to include more of them, and especially more options in the test (it seem extremely limited and confusing as it is.

A somewhat bizarre addition to the test was the " What priority do you place on your selection above? High Medium Low " selection. Additional clarification as to what is meant by that would certainly earn it a star.

I found myself often clicking the final option of "dislike all answer choices"... and on most things i did not click that, i still would have clicked it for lack of being conclusive regarding my philosophies. Altogether it was too short and selective in its answers[, and] the length of the questionnaire [was too short to be conclusive]... with poor implementation. I call a single star.

Edit: adding in a comma and the word 'and'... and the words 'was too short to be conclusive'
