In which I take the Belief Net Quiz

As you can see below, tests show that I am a 100% Baha'i. I was pretty nervous as I was taking the test, for fear that I might be 99 percent, or even lower. Of course, as a Baha'i I have to believe that if there could be a perfect test there would be only one who could ever get a hundred percent, the Master. What is more, I think a perfect test would tend to discount beliefs and opinions and count actions. The Master would score a hundred percent not because of what he believed but for the decades of suffering, difficulty and prison He suffered for the Cause. If you want to take the test yourself, go to: Belief net quiz, at,

A Personality quiz about your religious and spiritual beliefs

The top score on the list below represents the faith that Belief-O-Matic, in its less than infinite wisdom, thinks most closely matches your beliefs. However, even a score of 100% does not mean that your views are all shared by this faith, or vice versa.

Belief-O-Matic then lists another 26 faiths in order of how much they have in common with your professed beliefs. The higher a faith appears on this list, the more closely it aligns with your thinking.
