Quiz re: faith

[pegkerr]

Gacked from jeanineers:

You fit in with: Spiritualism Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms. 80% spiritual. 40% reason-oriented.

Weird. I'm not at all sure about the results. I thought that it was rather Procrustean, trying to force either 'yes' or 'no' answers and they certainly have a different understanding of Christianity than I do--but the way they map the various faiths is interesting and worth discussion.

Edited to add: And here is just one obvious "duh" about the underlying assumptions which shows how poorly this quiz is designed.

Does the designer really think that none of these religions could possibly overlap???

That one was interesting until I found out they wanted to sell me the results for $4.95. All they wanted to tell me for free was that I was best suited to religions compatible with open-mindedness, which, oddly, didn't come as an eye-opener.

(Mind you, I realized that I was ticking off the box for 'You should only lie to avoid hurting others' after telling them my name was Abcd Edghi, e-mail address globglob@hotmail.com. So, you know, my results wouldn't necessarily have been very accurate, anyhow.)

Hah. That sounds more of like a white lie (sort of...) I guess it would be more of a self-preservation issue of your e-mail account since you probably don't want spam. I've actually discovered a bug in their system that allows you to access the professional reports for free, and they seem to be pretty comprehensive and accurately researched.
