Thanks for the quiz. It may take some time to complete as the questions are IMO too long. It is hard to answer simple yes or no when you agree with one half then they add a "but". Does that make it a maybe? Because I might end up having to answer all their two part questions with maybe and end up being a flake who doesn't know what they believe when, in reality, I am something inbetween the options given. :confused:

I decided to check out the results. To get a sense of the bias that seemed evident in the way the questions are written. There is no categorizing of the testee's enlightenment. If you agree with all they say you are 100% enlightened. If you disagree with all they say you are an ignoramus who resides in a mental hell. If you leave the preset at all maybes you are semi enlightened and wishywashy.

The only interesting thing here is to see what the site believes in as the questions are very specific and give their views in much detail.

Other than that, to say people are ignorant or wishywashy if they don't agree with everything you believe in and call it an enlightenment test is quite abhorrent. and oxymoronic

Thanks for the perusal of the quiz but I once took a similar quiz which labelled me as "a person not suitable to partake in quizzes like this"...................................!

I'm afraid there is no hope for you, capt. :wah:

Don't worry about the test results...they are biased against Irishmen...and everyone else.

(oh, and let's not forget the puerile LAMERS who hit 'score it' without changing/reading anything; you know who you are...). Limbo.

wow its me:)

I answered the first few questions, and after that I decided to keep an open mind, I should not answer anything. and leave it all in the middle, if I accept one answer being true, that means that I can't accept the other for being true as well. which would prevent me from truly thinking creatively.

And to be truly creative I will do the test again and read it all, and to answer the questions with the best thurth that I know at this very moment...

Well I did the test, and as I suspected I am a proto fascist with communistic and free market capitalist leanings who wants everything and nothing but couldn't give a flying f*ck really. Could have told them that myself.
