I took a test to figure out which philosopher's beliefs most closely match my own at SelectSmart, and I have those that scored above 60% on the curved rating scale, with #1 being assigned a value of 100. From what I've read about their beliefs, the test seems fairly accurate.
1) Aquinas, 100
2) Aristotle, 85
3) John Stuart Mill, 76
4) Kant, 74
5) Plato, 67
6) Ayn Rand, 62
7) Jeremy Bentham, 61
Thought it was interesting...
