I just took the quiz on being a cynic and got a rather low score. Given my various conversations with others and the way many people act around me surprised me. So I was just wondering over all how accurate do you think their quiz's are? Link to quiz bank: www.belief.net/features/quiz/index.html

I believe that the quizes are there purely for entertainment purposes.
I would think that there are not nearly enough questions to accurately tell.
Besides which, what does the quiz "Which Harry Potter Charator are you?" have to do with Christianity?

also, it is way to easy to manipulate your answers and get the one you want.

true, but there belief o matic is at lest semi reliable. Anyhow they are far more fun than anything else, but than again similar systems are used to test for all sorts of things.

I scored an 8 on that cynicism test....and I was trying to be as honest as possible with the answers. I think they point you in a certain direction, but they are by no means Gospel. Most of the time, though, if you are being honest they can give you some surprising insight into your personality.

If you have read the Potter books take the "which Potter are you" quiz and just try to get Hermione. Or ron.
This is my point. Every quiz I have taken on there so far is way to easy to manipulate.

I took the past life quiz and got a "something spooky about you" score.....but I'm really quite normal, except for the fact that I remember certain details of a former life.

I like to take online quizzes for fun because there'e no telling on accuracy.
