Greetings to all...

Here's an interesting quiz (albeit from another website) that gives about 20 or so generic questions and then determines what religions / philosphies it thinks you are compatible with.

In addition to answering the multiple-choice questions, it also asks you to rate how important each particular question is to you. It's fairly simple but interesting nevertheless.

Give it a shot and see what you come up with:

http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx

And post your results if you care to... Smile

Here's what I came up with:

1. Sikhism (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (97%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (95%)
4. Reform Judaism (95%)
5. Neo-Pagan (84%)
6. Baha'i Faith (78%)
7. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (77%)
8. Mahayana Buddhism (76%)
9. Jainism (69%)

11. Islam (64%)
12. Orthodox Judaism (64%)
13. New Age (61%)

I wasnt especting hinduism to be on top, nor I am hinduist Smile But I suppose that since each option has multiple variants that kind of mistake is bound to happen.

I also think that the science oriented choices are too exclusive of the spiritual choices, or too limited. for example I personally think that egoism is the main problem of humanity from the scientific point of view, but the survey instead placed egoism as more a spiritual thing and left only one too generalized scientific option.

Like all similar polls, this one is full of holes. First, they generalize about Hinduism in an impossible way. Why provide so many variations of Christianity and Buddhism and then ignore the variations of Hinduism? How can someone be 21% nontheist after admitting in the poll to being a theist? What really gets me is the New Age and Neo-Pagan labels. Nothing against neo-paganism, but I'm not one. And new age - you've got to be kidding. I don't rub crystals for libido.

I am uncertain what to make of these results. I am certain I would be the first Calvanist Quaker (I am much more in like with my #2 result). And both Hindu and Seventh-Day Adventist seem quite a ways off. #16 and down seems to be fairly accurate though, although New Age should be much closer to the bottom.

I have always enjoyed taking these, usually an interesting way to learn new things about yourself (even when they aren't true).

Before taking the test I'd describe myself as a Secular Humanist, and no surprise to see it up there at 99%. I looked up Unitarian Universalism, and it seems like they encompass any and all beliefs, which is a bit weird, so I suppose its no surprise that I scored 100% on that one too.
