I am recommending this quiz for

1. Fun, and
2. Clarity

That’s it.

I’m not saying the quiz should replace deep thought.

But actually, now that I consider it, the quiz might actually prompt some people to think about their beliefs more because of the specific nature of the questions.

If, because of this post, my readers have seriously considered solely taking a five minute quiz to decide their beliefs, then there is certainly no hope for anything else I write being understood.

I’m just tired of all these Internet quizes that claim to be intelligent but merely feed our desire to fit inside a little box.

Of course not. I’m not telling people to go to some internet quiz and then follow the belief that it tells them they should be. I’m saying, go take this quiz, it’s fun, accurate, and gives you an idea of what to look for.

This test is not a be-all-end-all ordeal. I’m going to trust that my readers are intelligent enough to understand that.

So, instead of actually doing the research and thinking about it logically, you propose a five minute Internet test?

That sort of goes against everything freethinking is all about.

I took the test and answered the questions honestly. Amongst many arbitrary categories, I am 100% secular humanist, 69% buddhist, and 6% Jehovah’s Witness.

This tells me absolutely nothing.

Encourage people to think, not place themselves into a box. That is the whole point of the Freethinker movement.
