What's your spiritual type?

Score : 29 - Almost spiritual!!

For some reason, this question/answer reminded me of my sister!
Q12. Regarding those who hold beliefs that are sharply different from mine, I think:
1. It’s amazing the sort of nonsense some people will believe

That wasn't a criticism of you, sorry if I came off as rude! Rather of the person who wrote the test.

It's just that almost all tests like this contain basic assumptions about people's beliefs, assumptions that I find often don't hold for me.

I totally understand and I'm glad you don't hold me accountable for the test! :D
 
I scored a 29, but some of the questions forced me down a path I didn't want. for instance:

Q17. I think children should:
1. Be raised to practice the faith of their parents
2. Be taught spiritual awareness but also to avoid affiliating with formal religion
3. Be encouraged to reject faith in favor of secular philosophy
4. Be exposed to many religious traditions and encouraged to make their own choices


I think children should be allowed to make their own choices. As a child, I was forced into a suit and dragged to church. The minute I had a choice I didn't go anymore. So how am I raising my child?

1? - I don't flaunt atheism to her. She's been to church with some of her friends and found it "weird".
2? - spiritual awareness? What is that?
3? - I've never told her not to believe in something or what to believe in. I try to let her make up her own mind. Thank god, my oldest daughter is agnostic. I'm just going to let the youngest one discover it on her own
4? - "OK, honey, tonight we are going to slay a goat and dance around this bonfire and chant." Puleeeeease!

So I picked 3 as the lesser of the evils

No-ones beaten me yet with my score of 60! :D I honestly answered all the questions as truthfully as possible. I'm somewhat amazed I've got the highest score though! :confused: I do suspect though that at least some people were deliberately trying to acheive a low score. What a pity.

It's what I suspected - Pope Ian. :-)

You scored 38, on a scale of 25 to 100.

Loaded, and I tried to skip 2 of them that I just could not answer honestly, but not entirely worthless. I feel my score reflects my overall feelings about sprituality (which is I know it works for some people) than my own near complete lack of it.
 
27. And yes, Ian, when faced with stupid choices I picked the one most likely to give me a low score. Doesn't make it less valid since the test is inherently biased.
"Interested or you wouldn't be here." Riight, mind readers they are.
 
I scored 43... I tried to answer with an open mind but couldn't pick anything on some question so just picked randomly. Sorry Ruby, the test is pretty shoddy.

I suppose in a purely philosophical sense I am.
 
Howdy Ruby;

A 29 of all things, and far too high me thinks.

What hacked me off was the little comment that I must be seeking or I wouldn't be there almost made me send them a little note that I was sent there for some multiple-choice test that is meaningless in and of itself. However, I did not want them to get my Email address.

There were no questions for a born again pagan. However, I am hardcore in my disbeliefs of anything having to do with the supernatural in any form, which equates to a hardcore atheist. I seek not and am not interested in doing so.
 
Well, I went through and chose the closest thing I could find on the impossible questions...

I got 29. Not bad I guess.
 
I didn't get past question 13. That was the first one where I couldn't choose any choices. (I do not have a faith that has any teachings).
 
I scored a 36 - "spiritual dabbler".

I agree with some of the other comments on the test; it was very poorly worded and skewed toward believers. But interesting anyway.
 
I got a 31 but I really should have had a 3 or 4. They counted appreciation of books and encouragement of free individual religious choice as "spiritual", and several questions only had spiritualist answers. The whole questionnaire is nastily slanted and shows a strong misunderstanding of the nature of science, reality, and freethought. I find most of the non-spiritualist answers offensively worded.

Why is that a pity? Religious folks strive to be more religious all the time, why shouldn't us godless spiritless heathens try to be more spiritless and godless?

Edited to fix a typo (strike into strive). (Is it a rule that you have to say that when you edit a post, or what?)
