Looks like you wouldn't crack it at Walden
Maybe you find nature boring or dirty, or maybe you prefer to work in groups and interact with and rely on other humans rather than go it alone but either way it doesn't seem like your much of a transcendentalist. Perhaps try rationalism.
You're somewhat of a transcendentalist
It looks like you share some qualities with transcendentalists. Perhaps you are independent but still highly value relationships or find harmony in the natural world but see it was a retreat rather than a way of life. Some of their philosophies will ring true to you even if you wouldn't devote your life to Emerson's teachings.
A Pure Transcendentalist
Have you thought about packing up and moving to a life of cabin solitude? Because it looks like you are a transcendentalist through and through. You value self-reliance and believe in a power above what you can know or learn through your senses. You see power and majesty in nature and respect it as it's own entity.
