    From the perspective of a "solidly secular" identified person, I didn't notice that the question were slanted toward anything.

    They very well well might have been without my noticing,
    but that's probably because I'd score "solidly secular" no matter which culture I happened to be part of.

    I have great respect for the past. If you don't know where you've come from, you don't know where you're going. I have respect for the past, but I'm a person of the moment. I'm here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I'm at, then I go forward to the next place.

    I found the quiz difficult to answer as it was clearly directed at a Christian POV. Being Buddhist made many of the questions kind of absurd to answer correctly as nothing really fit.

    No worries, Pmp. I think most people can figure out what you are.

    People who have taken a lot of government tests know to simply select the best fitting answer.

    OTOH, some people stop to whine and some people just go with the flow. Which one is more Zen-like, Terry?

    I thought the question about believing that inanimate objects like rocks, trees, and crystals have spirit was pretty stupid. Trees are not inanimate. A person of Ojibwe tradition would have answered yes, and then the quiz would have parked him/her in the hippy-dippy New Age section.

    Really what the quiz was testing was whether one is a traditional practicing christian, or not.

    One can easily misrepresent themselves to tests like this. And there are many people out there who lack sufficient intellect to process self-analysis.

    I've even seen Christians on this forum who are so in love with lying and false witness that they can barely speak the truth when called on to do so.

    So, ya know, it happens that sometimes pop culture quizlets don't give a really good insight.

    These days they don't even bother with attending services. Apparently it's enough to just call yourself ___ without behaving as ___ dictates.
