I didn't realise at first there are two quizzes on that site. I took the "What's your spiritual Type?" one first and found it not very satisfactory. I was classified as a Spiritual Straddler, which, when I clicked on it, led me to a forum of so-called like minded folks, only it appeared that this was where all the pagans had found themselves because the questions were so inadequate. I thought, well at least I am in the right company, being pagan myself.

I couldn't find any mention of the terms people here had been mentioning, so I looked for another quiz on that site and found it when I clicked on "Belief-o-matic". These questions were much better and wide-ranging, and also gave you the option of rating the importance of your answer to each question. I finished up with a 100% match to Neo-Pagan, which is exactly as it should be. It was a reasonable description of it too, I thought. I was a bit surprised at the order some of them came in though - Christian Science 79% and Taoism 54%? - but in the main, I think this second quiz was quite good.

These were my results for the top 12.

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. New Age (97%)
3. Unitarian Universalism (85%)
4. New Thought (82%)
5. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (79%)
6. Mahayana Buddhism (79%)
7. Liberal Quakers (74%)
8. Scientology (71%)
9. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (70%)
10. Theravada Buddhism (69%)
11. Hinduism (60%)
12. Taoism (54%)
