Has anyone tried the religious belief consistency test?

Great test. I got tripped up twice by question 14.

I got a 100% score with 0 "hits" or "bullets." So I'm intellectually consistent and without cognitive dissonance, at least within the parameters of this test. Sounds about right. 
You navigated the battlefield suffering one hit and biting one bullet, which represents an overall performance at the 71th percentile (i.e., 71% of scores are worse than yours). The tables on the right show how your performance compares to the other 114613 people who have completed Battleground God.
It was biased.

It is philosophy and not science. Thus meaningless
I took no hits and only one bite. So 95% fared "worse" than me.
So what? It is philosophy and it rests on beliefs about rationality, for which it is possible to hold another belief about rationality.

It was a little unclear, but I think that means it is safe to assume that we are better than everyone.
Which also means we may have to fight to the death. There can only be one.

Yeah, it does makes some assumptions about rationality.
I'd be proud were it not for the questionable quality of the test.
Parenthetically, "the religious belief consistency test" strikes me as a bit pretentious.

Seemed to me it was more wording you had to pay attention to. Like irrevocable evidence. Evidence that is irrevocable, that's a bar so high I'm not sure it actually exists. So that one has to be false.

It was in the end an excise in having learned to think a certain way.

Sorry, gave up at 5. What do I know about upper case god? True or false the only answers. Rubbish.

I just went into it with no assumptions of what a god is and should be or shouldn't be and I carefully read the questions.

As far as I can tell they do make some assumptions about rationality, that were not rational, but rather normative.

Forced binary choices just irritate the **** out of me.

That has nothing to do with the test. These are true/false statements that are asked. Nothing tricky, nothing hard, not even much to ponder and "overthink" with the questions.Forced binary choices just irritate the **** out of me.

Well, it requires a certain culture (and brain) to get the answers right.

I took the test and bit one bullet. The test was geared toward atheism and evolution. It did not present a fair presentation for faith in God.

Yes, I could have played the game and ensured I gave consistent responses. What would that have shown? That I have basic reading comprehension and a functioning short term memory, nothing more. Amazeballs.
