Like all internet “personality” quizzes, this one isn’t exactly what you’d call totally authoritative. It’s called the Belief-O-Matic, and it helps you deduce what religion you ought to be practicing. Well, not exactly, but same idea. Is it useful? Ha! That’s a good one. Is it useful? Of course it’s useful.
Okay, so it’s not, really. But it’s kinda interesting, and not totally off the mark—though I very much doubt that anyone would find a truly earth-shaking revelation in their results. (“But… but… I thought I was a Scientologist!”)
(My results, for the eternal record, are as follows:
- Liberal Quakers (100%)
- Unitarian Universalism (100%)
- Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (96%)
- Secular Humanism (87%)
- Neo-Pagan (83%)
- New Age (74%)
- Bahá’í Faith (69%)
- Theravada Buddhism (62%)
- Nontheist (58%)
- Mahayana Buddhism (57%)
- Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (53%)
- Taoism (53%)
- Reform Judaism (51%)
- Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (50%)
- New Thought (46%)
- Orthodox Quaker (45%)
- Sikhism (38%)
- Scientology (37%)
- Jehovah’s Witness (37%)
- Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (35%)
- Jainism (30%)
- Hinduism (25%)
- Orthodox Judaism (23%)
- Seventh Day Adventist (20%)
- Eastern Orthodox (16%)
- Islam (16%)
- Roman Catholic (16%)
)
On a related (and more secular) note, you can take the 12 question “Ethical Philosophy Selector”, which purports to tell which philosophers most match your own personal ethics beliefs. (Both quizzes, incidentally, are produced by the same people/group.)
