How Religious Are You?

8/13/2021

3 Comments

 
After all, you’re a part of The Religious Society of Friends. I’ve discovered an online quiz that purports to measure religiosity on a scale of one to ten. Although such quizzes are mainly for fun and not to be taken too seriously, this offering seems to be well-designed. My score was seven. The explanation of a “seven” is as follows:

    Religion is a central aspect of your life. Your beliefs guide your
    decision making, your mental outlook, and your political per-
    spective. But, you may miss a religious service if you need to
    sleep in or take a walk in the woods instead. Your religious beliefs
    and practices are very important to you, but you also balance
    them with other values and needs.

The quiz is entitled Can We Guess How Religious You Are, on a scale of
1—10 and may be found HERE.

I found the quiz fascinating.

However, I don't know how you managed to score yourself.

I had an answer to virtually every question but how should that turn into a matter of points toward a score? Also, there were many more than 10 questions. How did you handle that?

If you answer these questions, I'll go back over the quiz and share my score. Peace,
Don

Hi. Don.

The quiz itself scores you. I don't remember the exact sequence, but probably there's a "submit" button. After clicking on it, your score and interpretation of the score appears. I'll retake the quiz tomorrow to refresh my memory and see whether I get a "7" again.

Hi, again, Don.

I just retook the quiz, and there's no "submit" button. You just scroll through and answer the questions. Continue scrolling and you should see your numerical ranking and an explanation of that number.

I got a "7" once again which speaks to the reliability of the test (or my predictability).
