What is your world-view (quiz)?

[Nathan]

It looks as though the top four go hand in hand, Murrin got high scores in all of those as well. Perhaps I share coincidental beliefs with mainline to liberal christian protestants on most things but not concerning a deity.

[Lord Mhoram]

Syl,

According to your quiz, I am an intuitive person, and a slightly expressed introvert and judger.

Matrixman,

According to the Belief-O-Matic I am a Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestant.

[I'm Murrin]

How can you possibly score so high in both 'Nontheist' and 'Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants'?

I assume that since it says 'liberal' christians, it will be related to the abortion, homosexuality, etc questions.

[Edge]

I assume that since it says 'liberal' christians, it will be related to the abortion, homosexuality, etc questions.

Very possibly. But one belief common to Christians of any stripe, is that of Theism; i.e. it's a given that all Christians believe in God.

To my mind, that creates quite a tension between Christianity and Nontheism.

Believing in both Theism and Nontheism concurrently, is an achievement worthy of the White Queen.

[I'm Murrin]

Well, of course.
This is why polls based on closest match answers, without some answers taking precedence over others, are flawed.

Of course, you could say that you are only supposed to consider the highest result as your match, and that because the others match less they are to be ignored (because of things like these contradictory belief systems both scoring high).


[Hmm, my posts seem to be a little rambling and confused today. Tried to post in the Think Tank just before but in the end couldn't even work out what I was trying to say.]

[matrixman]

But I don't feel that one test is superior - the Belief-o-matic tells you your religion, but the world-view test classifies the way you perceive the universe (as in, how you think it all works).

I agree, Murrin. I should have expanded on what I meant when I said the Belief-O-Matic was more fun: it asked more questions (and perhaps more emotionally involving ones), and that just made the experience of doing that test more engaging. It seemed to me the questions in the world-view test were posed in a more impersonal manner, and so I responded in likewise fashion: with interest, but without much emotional involvement. And a few of the questions seemed more cryptic than was necessary, like the one asking if life was a "self-alienation" of the divine. Explain, Mr. Spock!:)

Ultimately, I do agree with the results--of both tests. Existentialist? Yeah, sounds like me. Secular humanist? No argument there.

I mean, I expected the romanticist and fundamentalist parts, but the cultural creative one surprised me a lot. *grin* I haven't quite figured out how that works with the second and third ones...

Apparently I am the QUEEN of Cultural Creativists.

Woot!

HAIL, OH QUEEN!

Hey, I got 100% Cultural Creative too! I'm also the Queen! ....er...

I got cultural Creative as well, but only 88%... perhaps I can be the princess?

[Sorus]

You scored as Materialist. Materialism stresses the essence of fundamental particles. Everything that exists is purely physical matter and there is no special force that holds life together. You believe that anything can be explained by breaking it up into its pieces. i.e. the big picture can be understood by its smaller elements.

I actually tied as Existentialist/Materialist. (88 on both.)

Huh, not much change from the last time I took it. Looks like I've become more cynical (higher Existentialist score, lower Romanticist score).

[The Laughing Man]

You scored as Idealist.



Idealism centers around the belief that we are moving towards something greater. An odd mix of evolutionist and spiritualist, you see the divine within ourselves, waiting to emerge over time. Many religious traditions express how the divine spirit lost its identity, thus creating our world of turmoil, but in time it will find itself and all things will again become one.

You disagree with that? I could see you as a fundamentalist idealist...

Nothing wrong with idealism. Pay is lousy though. And people look at you funny.

[The Laughing Man]

that was sarcasm, --A. idealism would be an understatement, ya think? and good point, the pay sucks, but the rewards are priceless. and the looks, heh.
