I, and most of the people I know who've taken this, have gotten the 'Spiritualism' result. At least it's on the reasoning end of the spectrum.

I wonder why the designer considers Judeo-Christian belief more 'Scientific' than Buddhist/Hindi religions? (Which at least have some directly experiential practices like yoga/meditation.)

I see the dichotomy between Faith and Reason, but am not sure why they consider Scientific-Spiritual a dichotomy, or the proper countervaling axis. It makes more sense to me to use 'objectively-oriented' vs 'subjectively-oriented' as the 2nd axis. And I think different religions tend to emphasize different sensory-modes, too; i.e.: Christianity focuses on The Light, some pagan religions more on kinaesthetic senses.
