GURG posted a link to THIS PERSONALITY QUIZ
After a brief series of questions it tells you which major religions are most similar to, or best suited to, your own brand of beliefs.
It disturbed me to find out that my beliefs are apparently more in line with the Mormons than with the Buddhists and Taoists. Latter Day Saints ranked at 8th place for me, while Theravada took 10th, Mahayana was 12th and Taoism plunked down at 15th. This is especially confusing since I have adopted elements of Buddhist and Toaist philosophy as my own in recent months.
Upon reading the description of Mormon beliefs I noted that I disagreed with everything they stand for, both in practice and in all my answers to the quiz questions. Yet the quiz said I agreed with them 61%
I don't get it. Although many of the questions did not have an answer that matched my thoughts exactly, so I had to go with the closest thing. In some cases there was no closest thing. Stupid personality tests and their lack of range.
Like Gurg, Catholicism came in at a lowly 26th place for me. Like Gurg, I too was raised Catholic. Baptized and everything.
Go figure.
