Sometimes It’s Fun To Be an Oddball

I love shattering expectations. 🙂

The Falsifier
You scored 52% individualism, 32% fatalism, 52% hierarchy, and 52% egalitarianism!
Congratualtions, you are helping to disprove Cultural Theory!

Cultural Theory argues that each person will adhere to one, or possibly two, of the basic cultures. The other viewpoints will sound insane or incoherent. Because you agree with three of the cultures, you don’t fit Cultural Theory’s predictions. Take that, Mary Douglas!

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

Biography Game

We all want the people we read about to be somebody else.

Suppose you could choose somebody to write your biography. It can be any person currently alive, except for people who have met you. These days it’s hard to define "met you," so I’ll define it as making eye contact. For extra fun, neither you or anybody else can directly tell that person anything about you. All they get to go off of is records you’ve left behind. Photos, papers, records, diaries, report cards, etc. Any kinds of documents, but no first-hand accounts. Depending on who you pick, they may twist things or interpret events one way or the other.

So who would you pick, and why?

Morals in Politics

Seemingly based on the Libertarian Party's political quiz, this Moral Politics quiz plots your position on a map whose axes are moral order (x) and moral rules (y). Like any such quiz, it oversimplifies matters, but it's entertaining none the less. I like that I score as the party-less centrist I am. (HT:I Am a Christian Too) Continue reading

What’s Your Worldview?

Connexions points to a quiz that tells you how biblical your worldview is (in the eyes of the folks at WorldviewWeekend.com). Like most quizzes, more questions are begged than asked, but I still found it interesting. I have semi-frequent contact with fundamentalists, so I’m familiar with the worldview the test’s authors champion. Being able to compare myself to them using their own measures was interesting. I hope it will generate interesting and informative dialogue.

Here are my results. I hope you share yours with me. 🙂

Your classification is: Moderate Biblical Worldview Thinker
Your score is: 90 points of 170 possible, 52%

Civil Government: section score: 25%, Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker
Economics: section score: 38%, Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker
Education: section score: 58%, Moderate Biblical Worldview Thinker
Family: section score: 100%, Strong Biblical Worldview Thinker
Law: section score: 50%, Moderate Biblical Worldview Thinker
Religion: section score: 56%, Moderate Biblical Worldview Thinker
Science: section score: 25%, Secular Humanist Worldview Thinker
Social Issues: section score: 87%, Strong Biblical Worldview Thinker

There results seem to make sense for a Catholic, since we believe Scripture has authority because the Church vouches for it, not on its own accord. Also, we believe there are truths not taught explicitly in Scripture. Then again, maybe I’m not representative of official Catholic teachings or the beliefs of the "average" Catholic. Let me know. 🙂
