Curiously I thought I was pretty pro-science but got this result:

So I tried for second best and second worst to see what result I would get:

I gave up when I couldn't find any answer I agreed with.

I got to question #5 and decided there was too much of a sense of woo for me to continue.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

I got to question #5 and decided there was too much of a sense of woo for me to continue. Yes, a lot of it seemed very "new age touchy-feely" stuff. I wonder how many scientists were involved in the original studies to determine the categories of worldview. Reading the descriptions I did not see one that really fit me. As such it seems like a sad indictment of the state of science in the us. Enjoyby our ability to understand Rebel☮American☆Zen☯Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

I got the same ones, but my scores were:
Modern (4)Traditional (-3) I'm guessing the score is the sum of "agree with most" minus the sum of "agree with least." So, I picked the Modern option as "agree with most" 4 times more than I picked it as "agree with least." I wonder what my scores were for the other two categories.-Blue Jay, Ph.D.* *Yeah, it's real Darwin loves you.

Their descriptions of worldviews seem just more word salad.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped! |

I gave up on question 18. That's the one where they asked for an email address.
Sorry, but I'm not providing that to a group that asks such weird questions.Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

Tanypteryx writes: Worldview Affinity Score: Worldview you identify with most: Modern (7)Worldview you identify with least: Traditional (-13) There were several "ID with most" that I did not choose an answer for.

Despite the usual objections to ambiguous statements I don't know if I agree with or not, I did the test a number of times because I didn't get an email for a few of the efforts, probably entered some information wrong somewhere. Did get two basic readings though.
I did it from my point of view now, and then I did it from what I think was my point of view before I was a Christian believer. Now:Most: Traditional 9 Least: Postmodern -5 Pre-Christian:Most: Modern 6 Least: Integrative -6 Integrative worldviews Integrative worldviews appear to be primarily characterized by a self-reflexive attempt to bring together and synthesize elements of other worldviews, or of domains that in other worldviews tend to be viewed as mutually exclusive, such as science (or rationality) and spirituality, imagination and logic, heart and mind, humanity and natureperspectives that in the West have been in conflict for centuries. In this worldview, such opposing perspectives are frequently understood to be part of a greater whole or synthesison a deeper levelresulting in both-and rather than either-or thinking. Such a holistic or integrative perspective may lead to a profound sense of connection with nature, and an understanding of earthly life itself as imbued with a larger consciousness or Spirit. Universal, existential concernssuch as life and death, self-actualization, global awareness, and serving society, hum anity, or even life at largeare often of central importance. ABE: Was pondering why before I was a Christian I came out so strongly against this category called "integrative" rather than "traditional" as most others here do. It's pretty clear: I had no strong anti-traditional attitudes, as about God, the traditional views just didn't enter into my world at the time, but I hated with a passion the new-agey mind-twisting pseudospritual stuff I was encountering around me. I think the test did a decent job of reflecting my views, though I might have expected "modern" to be stronger in the pre-Christian phase, and "postmodern" to be more soundly rejected in today's worldview, or even the "integrative" to be the "least" category there.
