IT - Internet Tests

A few days back I took two of these personality tests on the internet. The first describes me as more religious than atheist, while the second calls me a "neo-pagan."

***** ***** *****

Test #1 claims to tell me all about myself. Here are Test #1 Results (a few of which I've deleted to protect the guilty):

Personality: You are more emotional than logical, more concerned about others than concerned about self, more religious than atheist, more loner than dependent, more lazy than workaholic, more rebel than traditional, more artistic mind than engineering mind, more idealist than cynical, more leader than follower, and more introverted than extroverted.

As for specific personality traits, you are religious (87%), romantic (71%), intellectual (70%).

Stereotypes
Young Professional 70%
Old Geezer 67%
Hippie 58%

Life Experience
Sex 65%
Substances 30%
Travel 35%

Politics
Your political views would best be described as Socialist, whom you agree with around 100% of the time.

Socioeconomic
Your attitude toward life best associates you with . You reportedly make 17% more money than the U.S. average.

If your life was a movie, it would be rated R.
By the way, your hottness rank is 48%, hotter than 12% of other test takers.

Test #2 claims to place me in a specific religion or belief, based on my answers. Test #2 Results:

1. Neo-Pagan (100%)
2. Liberal Quakers (96%)
3. Mahayana Buddhism (95%)
4. Hinduism (94%)
5. Unitarian Universalism (90%)
6. Jainism (89%)
7. Bahá'í Faith (89%)
8. Reform Judaism (88%)
9. Sikhism (82%)
10. New Age (78%)
11. Orthodox Judaism (78%)
12. Islam (66%)
13. Theravada Buddhism (65%)
14. Mainline to Liberal Christian Protestants (60%)
15. Taoism (58%)
16. New Thought (56%)
17. Scientology (53%)
18. Orthodox Quaker (51%)
19. Secular Humanism (43%)
20. Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) (43%)
21. Jehovah's Witness (40%)
22. Seventh Day Adventist (37%)
23. Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) (35%)
24. Mainline to Conservative Christian/Protestant (27%)
25. Eastern Orthodox (23%)
26. Roman Catholic (23%)
27. Nontheist (19%)

*****

So I'm even less of a Catholic (23%), the church I am currently a member of, based on my answers, than I am of a Southern Baptist (27%), the church in which I was baptized in 1974. I'm not sure what to make of this. I'll keep on seeking where I need to be.

I can see myself in the analyses of both tests, but it is interesting to find the deviation with regard to religion - from 87% religious to a neo-pagan.
