You will inevitably find a philosopher who resonates with you more than the others. Someone whose ideas and outlook just "click" with you. That's how you define yourself philosophically from then on out.

Some of us will find this earlier than others, in our study of philosophy. For example, I decided pretty early on that Plato made a huge amount of sense to me on numerous things, and no subsequent philosopher I read really had the same impact on how I thought and perceived. The exception to this might be Augustine, and Augustine is basically a Platonist in a Catholic context. So I've been a Platonist/Augustinian for more than a decade now.
