Took an online quiz

The Sum of Awe

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
I don't think that the quiz is saying what you should practice, just telling you how much you share in common with certain religions.

Um, really? not sure how that is possible
Numerical analytic value that important?

Edit: The answer to question one is "mu," and I don't see it on the list.

Edit: The only question that actually counts towards your result is #12. Do you know why?

Actually I don't think that analysis is accurate in this instance, and, still, these quizzes aren't completely specific, that's why there are multiple questions.

Hmm. Sikhism is #4 this time for me. It is true that Sikhism is well liked. :D

1. Unitarian Universalism (100%)
2. Mahayana Buddhism (99%)
3. Taoism (98%)
4. Sikhism (95%)
5. Theravada Buddhism (92%)
6. Jainism (90%)
7. Liberal Quakers - Religious Society of Friends (89%)
8. Neo-Pagan (89%)
9. Orthodox Quaker - Religious Society of Friends (86%)

I was surprised that Taoism came out so low on my test results since I tend to like a lot of Taoist philosophy and views of things. I like a lot of Buddhist views as well. I never even thought of Sikhism, even though I did know about it...and now I find I need to be a Sikh...heck if I follow the test I need to I am more of a Unitarian Universalism, which I never heard of before, than the ones I know more about....WHO KNEW!!!! :D

I think you are right. Based on the answers that you give and in some cases I did not see an answer I would give and in others I was not exactly sure, but there needed to be an answer so....

This quiz is very inaccurate; but what quiz could be? I'd not recommend taking any guidance in your search from it.

I only take from it the thought of research and from that research I will possibly find guidance or a direction.

I look at it as more of the hit to the side of the skipping record player to get it back on track…. Or in this case a tap to my brain to take it out of focusing too much..... OK that is an old reference but what can I say...I'm old

For it to be accurate the authors would have had to have a much better grasp of which memes constitute a given religion (and diverse sects within it); they didn't, it shows even in the list of outcomes being wildly skewed.

I've taken it twice, with the same top result and only small differences going down from there, I have to say, it does match my take on beliefs, pretty well.

My quiz results change often, as I often consider different possibilities and keep exploring. I really don't know much about Sikhism, so that's on my list to check into.

Your results may vary over time, as well, and give you ideas as to what you might like to explore.

It can be dead on for some and way off for others for various reasons.

For me it is something to look at that I find interesting that gave me another view to consider

I do not doubt that at all

Alhamdulillah!
I've taken several quizzes like this one and certainly for the last few months, I've always got the same result: Sikhi. Seems accurate to me.

I don't really like these tests. I always get "Unitarian Universalism", and from what I've read and understood thats not what predominately describes my belief.

well take the test again. this time only use the top question. what are the results ?

Not sure what you mean, the only difference in top three was in order, The answers match my beliefs exactly, how is this innacurate??
