Friend zenzero,
Perhaps I would say fair, but only as far as standardized tests can be expected to apply. It did not place me in an extremely different place than I would say could apply for myself. But I consider myself: Spiritual but Turned off by Organized Religion, rather than Happy with my Religon but seeking the right expression of it.
What I noted about the test is that the questions that I could not accurately answer tended be because those answers would have had to center around concepts of wholeness and beingness, so I may have chosen a more traditional response simply because it was the closest option to what I really believe, but still may be far from what I actually believe.
I have not thoroughly rejected all concepts from the religion of my childhood, I just do not see value in confining my understanding of life to it, to dogma or doctrine. Many of my actual beliefs do not conform to those beliefs that seem to be required to consider myself a part of my former religion, and I choose not to accept another label in its place.
I wonder if the test is recognizing that I am happy with the path that I am on, or that it has concluded that I am Happy with a religion I chose to remove myself from.

Friend 4consideration,
Personally found the test to be demanding in its selection of options as mentioned by everyone but the result more or less did reflect what personal understanding IS about religion.
Personal do not reject the traditional paths but try to understand the same in modern context.
Meaning that it is confirming the path that walk on which may not be true for everyone besides we do not know what their real understandings are as it is very personal matter.
Love & rgds

It is what Ramana Maharshi spoke about. It is what share with everyone here BUT mostly find the wall of parrot words from scriptures as responses.
Well LIFE is like THAT, one is always on the way. A small trigger is always enough to turn the mind looking inwards towards THAT spirit within which is THAT which is without and labelled *spirituality*

Maybe that they seek principles within, not the outward rituals of religion.

Friend HeatherAnn,
We are all parts of consciousness within and without and to seek that is within is to seek without and when within is easier, shorter to reach why go around the head to touch the nose??

Repeat the sentence without using *Maybe*; you will feel confident. Why the doubt??

I felt the test was biased, but for the results given, I feel it was the closest on the list to my leaning.
