Well, I only got 60% Justin. I guess I've never asked you enough questions about your concert experiences. I have asked you about your bands though!

I got a 61, but almost none of the answers fit my views very well. Here is the blurb:
"Old-fashioned Seeker -- Happy with my religion but searching for the right expression of it."
My top 5 on the Belief-o-matic:
1. Liberal Quakers (100%) 2. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (94%) 3. Neo-Pagan (93%) 4. Unitarian Universalism (93%) 5. Mahayana Buddhism (79%)

I scored a 48, making me an Active Spiritual Seeker, spiritual yet turned off by organized religion.
And while that is pretty accurate, I doth protest. I agree with Jeff that in a lot of cases, none of the answers fit my view.
For instance:
Question #1. I believe that God: A. Exists and intervenes in daily events. B. Exists and does not intervene in daily events. C. Is a spiritual ideal, not an actual being. D. Does not Exist.
I picked D. But then…
Question #16. In my view, God: A. Either does not exist, or God’s nature can never be known. B. Exists but is remote from human events. C. Is present at some times and absent at others. D. Is everywhere and observes everything. And for that I also picked D.
So according to this quiz, I believe that God does not exist, and that God is also everywhere and observes all things.
But it’s only because the quiz does not give enough choices. If Question #1 had choice E. IS daily events, I would have picked E. Instead I was given this stuff about God intervening with God or about “spiritual ideals”, so I picked “NO GOD”. So according to that standard, I probably should have picked A for the answer to Question #16, since I don’t really believe that God “observes” anything. But at this time, I felt like all my answers were pointing to a score of 2 out of 100, and since I’m not a complete atheist, I picked D., just leaving out the word “observing.”
Anyway, I’m probably spending way too much time on this quiz analysis, instead of actively spiritually seeking.
Especially since it’s 9:50 on Sunday morning, and Rick is at church and I’m going to bed. Good night!

A quiz -- because it's a Tuesday that feels like Monday. Where should you live? www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=16534455155473404923Streetcar Suburb You scored 27 out of 40 on urban-rural and 20 out of 40 land intensity. People know you as: Grandmama Quote: "Maybe the neighbor can lend us some sugar." Your score indicates that you prefer a large metropolitan area to the wilderness and that you like your personal space. But you also enjoy interacting with other people occasionally and maybe, just maybe, on a rare occasion you even enjoy walking somewhere besides across the parking lot to your car. You should live in a pre-World War II suburb. The kind populated by bungalow houses and charming little corner grocery stores. Just like grandma. Examples of places you should live: Bethesda, MD; Evanston, IL

Downtown Loft
You scored 29 out of 40 on urban-rural and 35 out of 40 land intensity.
People know you as: The Yuppie (They Do?)
Quote: "Sushi is so 1990s. How about Lebanese?" (I've never eaten either.)
Congratulations. You are the coolest type of person. Or you like to think you are, anyway. Your score indicates you are a through and through urbanite who likes to live in the densest, most central part of town. Realistically, though, you're probably a "new money" type who, although you claim to hate chains, still occasionally sneaks a Big Mac and always, always gets your coffee from Starbucks. (I do like Starbucks: "Give me a quad Venti® half caff. soy latte")
The main difference between you and The Bohemian Gentrifier is that you have a better job. (It's OK.)
Examples of places you should live: Manhattan, Chicago's Loop (I think I would hate that.)

Small Town You scored 14 out of 40 on urban-rural and 21 out of 40 land intensity. People know you as: The Dr. Kennicott Wannabe Quote: "Things aren’t like they used to be."
You’re like the character Will Kennicott in the novel "Main Street". Your score indicates that you prefer a rural atmosphere to an urban one, but at moderately high land intensity. You think small towns where people know and care for one another are marvelous places to live. If you’ve ever lived in a small town before you’re probably older than the normal demographic here at okCupid. If you haven’t ever lived in a small town before, you should try it. You’ll like it better than the suburb you live in now, and the town’s economy could sure use you.
Examples of places you should live: Montpelier, VT; La Junta, CO

this is what i got, although there is a strong lack of beach and ocean here, so replace philly with los angeles
Rowhouse 'Hood People know you as: The Bohemian Gentrifier Quote: "That crack house just needed a little paint."
Your score indicates that you are a city-dweller of the old-school. You like a dense, finely grained neighborhood with restaurants, churches and brothels all on the same block. Although you've never spoken to him personally, you know that guy Eddie down the street is a pimp and you're sure to tell your lame suburban friends about him at every opportunity, just to freak them out.
The bad news is that as more and more people like you move into your neighborhood it gradually becomes less cool and more expensive. Enjoy things while you can, because in 5 years you're going to have to move to the next 'hood uptown.
Examples of places you should live: Baltimore, Philadelphia

I love taking these quizes. - Your Score Summary - Overall, you scored as follows: 87% scored higher (more stupid), 3% scored the same, and 10% scored lower (less stupid). What does this mean? You are 10% stupid. This means... You are far from stupid. Congrats on a great accomplishment!

I bet Chris will be 0% stupid. I am 5%.
93% scored higher (more stupid), 2% scored the same, and 5% scored lower (less stupid).
What does this mean? You are 5% stupid. This means...
You are our next Einstein. Wow! Keep up the great thinking.

It gave me 7% stupid, but to be fair, 3 of their questions were wrong. There are at least 10 planets in our solar system. If you've been instructed to take 1 pill an hour, it depends on when you take the first pill as to when you run out. An electric train is moving north at 100kph and a wind is blowing to the west at 10kph. Which way does the smoke blow? It moves north at 100kph until acted upon by another force. In this case friction and gravity.

Hey Ty,
An electric train wouldn't produce smoke would it?

I've seen quite a few of these questions before, including ye olde electric train question. As far as planets, Tyler, there of course is much debate over the planetary status of Pluto and other planet-like bodies beyond it, so to answer anything other than what is commnly believed would be foolhardy; you'd be taking a chance at guessing whatever the biases of the test giver were.
Yes, the pill question leaves out the fact that you might not want to take the damn pills, but since none of the multiple choice answers are "depends on when you start taking them," the question assumes that you're following the orders to take one every hour. But yes, a better way to phrase the question would be, "If you followed the instructions, how long after you start taking them would they be all gone?"
Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Morons.
