The quiz was interesting to take but I think that it's accuracy could be improved by a formal ANOVA or other variability reducing work. It may be ironic but I think that many of our answers vary on our interpretation of the answers available and our internal reasoning for selecting each answer. Many people seem to be surprised by the results of the test telling those in conservative camps they are more progressive than they thought or vice-versa when in fact it may simply be a result of built-in-noise in the measure. Or it could be that my own ideas of what define conservative vs. progressive are different than the test-creator's. In that case it would be helpful to more precisely specify the testing criteria before trying to identify any sources of variability.

Actually wanted to rate it with 4 stars but couldnt revise. The "score" I think indicates whether you agree with the asessment or not. Since it was for me difficult to be objective about myself, my "answers" were biased. And the category might show me to be a bit pharasaical (and a poor speller). I will ask a few friends to take quizz and also "rate" me ,with regard to the test and their own results.

It's an excellent quiz, but it does need a bit of improvement. I am a conservative biblical interpreter, however, I do believe that its interpretation in historical context is absolutely necessary. I do lean towards progressive interpretations, but still maintain the orthodox doctrine and tenets of the Christian faith.
