Know Thyself

The Belief-O-Matic is a website that poses 20 faith-based questions, and then compares your responses to the prescribed responses of a variety of religions. After you submit the survey, the faith at the top of the list is the one Belief-O-Matic found that most closely matches your own beliefs. The following 26 faiths are listed in order of how closely they align with your professed beliefs. In terms of TOK, this is a great tool both in process and product. Each of the 20 questions requires an evaluation of stances you may or may not addressed in yourself, and can help help you to define your views. The resultant list gives you the terms (names of religions) whose connotations allow you to effectively convey your beliefs, both to others and for yourself. I, for example, came up 100% Liberal Quaker, and 98% Unitarian Universalist (the religion I currently practice)

Have fun!

I thought it might be interesting if people posted their results as comments, along with your response to their accuracy or inaccuracy - is this an effective way to gain knowledge?
