Oh hey I never noticed this thread. Posting to watch.

I don't think I've seen this one pop up yet: Ayurvedic Body-Type Quiz!
(Brought to us by Deepak Chopra. Yay?)

Your scores are Vata: 4 Pitta: 2 Kapha: 4
Based on your results, you are a KAPHA-VATA:

Kapha is the principle of protection, nourishment, and stability. It is associated with the earth element. People with a predominance of Kapha in their nature tend to have a heavier frame, think, and move more leisurely, and are stable. When balanced, it creates calmness, sweetness, and loyalty. When excessive, Kapha can cause weight gain, congestion, and resistance to healthy change.

Vata is the principle of movement and change. It can be identified as the Wind element. People with a predominance of Vata in their nature tend to be thin, light, and quick in our thoughts and actions. Change is a constant part of life. When Vata is balanced, they are creative, enthusiastic, and lively. But if Vata becomes excessive, they may develop anxiety, insomnia, dry skin, or irregular digestion.

Welp... the shoe fits, Mr. Chopra.

As a person used a language with Sanskrit root, reading these parsed words make me want to cry.

Anyway, as an idea for a next test. How do you belief. Sadly, I can't seem to find the english version. So well, dutch it'll be.

Also, it's a shortened version, but well, I can't find the original one. Atheists and the like can still take the quiz, just negate some questions.

Google translate does a decent job, but here's a corrected version. Dutch left, english right.

Spoiler: Translation of the questions (click to show/hide)

Questionnaire PKG-scale
 
1. Wat is je geboortejaar? What year were you born? 
 
2. Wat is je geslacht? What is your gender? 
man       man   
vrouw     woman   
 
3. In welke regio woon je? In which region do you live?  (Just choose Antwerp here, that way you don't really disturb the statistics)
Antwerpen                   Antwerp   
Limburg                       Limburg   
Oost-Vlaanderen           East Flanders   
Vlaams-Brabant             Flemish Brabant   
West-Vlaanderen             West Flanders   
Ik woon in Nederland        I live in Netherlands   
Luik                                 Luik
Luxemburg                     Luxembourg   
Namen                          Names   
Henegouwen                                Hainaut   
Waals-Brabant                 Walloon Brabant   
 
Geef aan of je akkoord bent met volgende stellingen.          Indicate whether you agree with the following statements 
1= helemaal niet akkoord => 6=helemaal akkoord              1 = strongly disagree => 6 = strongly agree 
 
4. De bijbel verbergt een diepere waarheid die door eigen zoeken onthuld moet worden. The Bible hides a deeper truth that needs to be revealed by your own searching
 
5. De wonderverhalen uit de bijbel dienen in hun historische context geplaatst te worden, wil men hun betekenis begrijpen. The miracle stories of the Bible should be placed in their historical context, in order to understand their meaning.
 
6. Je kan alleen maar zinvol leven als je gelooft. You can only live a meaningful life if you believe. 
 
7. God is eens en voor altijd bepaald en is dus onveranderlijk. God is determined once and for all and is unchangeable. 
 
8. Het geloof is eerder een mooie droom, die een illusie blijkt te zijn als men geconfronteerd wordt met de hardheid van het leven. Faith is a beautiful dream, which turns out to be an illusion when confronted with the harshness of life. 
 
9. 9. De bijbel is een spoorboek voor het zoeken naar God, en geen historisch verslag. The Bible is a guide for seeking God, and no historical record. 
 
10. 10. Maria is werkelijk voor, tijdens en na de geboorte van Jezus maagd gebleven, ook al gaat dit in tegen het moderne denken. Mary has really remained a virgin before, during and after the birth of Jesus even though this goes against modern thinking. 
 
11. Er zijn teveel mensen in naam van God onderdrukt om nog te kunnen geloven. Too many people have been suppressed in the name of God to continue believing in him. 
 
12. Elke uitspraak over God is bepaald door de tijd waarin ze geformuleerd is. Any mention of God is determined by the time in which it is formulated. 
 
13. Ondanks het feit dat de bijbel in een geheel andere historische context werd geschreven, bevat hij toch een belangrijke boodschap. Despite the fact that the Bible was written in an entirely different historical context, it still contains an important message. 
 
14. Enkel de grote religieuze tradities bieden een garantie om tot God te komen. Only the great religious traditions offer a guarantee to come to God.   
 
15. Zelfs als zou blijken dat Jezus als historische figuur nooit heeft bestaan, dan nog zou dit mijn geloof in Jezus niet aantasten. Voor mij is Hij immers vooral een leidraad.  Even if it turns out that Jesus never existed as a historical figure, it would not affect my faith in Jesus. For me he is primarily a guide.
 
16. Religie is een engagement zonder absolute zekerheid. Religion is a commitment without absolute certainty. 
 
17. Godsdienst is het enige dat betekenis kan geven aan het leven in al zijn aspecten. Religion is the only thing that can give meaning to life in all its aspects. 
 
18. De manier waarop mensen hun relatie tot God ervaren, is altijd gekleurd door de maatschappelijke context. The way people perceive their relationship with God is always colored by their social context. 
 
19. De historische juistheid van de bijbelverhalen is irrelevant voor mijn geloof in God. The historical accuracy of the Bible stories is irrelevant to my faith in God. 
 
 20. Uiteindelijk bestaat er op elke religieuze vraag maar één juist antwoord. Ultimately, there is only 1 correct answer to each religious question 
 
21. God is slechts een naam die gegeven wordt aan het onverklaarbare. God is just a name given to the inexplicable. 
 
22. Uitspraken over het absolute, zoals dogma's, blijven altijd relatief omdat ze door mensen en op bepaalde momenten worden uitgesproken. Statements about the absolute, like dogmas, remain relatif because they are spoken by people and in a certain historic context. 
 
 23. De wereld van de bijbelverhalen ligt zover af dat hij nog weinig relevant is. The world of Bible stories is so far off that it has little relevance. 
 
24. Alleen een priester/religieuze leider kan op belangrijke godsdienstige vragen een antwoord geven. Only a priest / religious leader can answer on major religious questions. 

25. 25. De wetenschappelijke verklaringen van mens en wereld hebben de religieuze verklaringen overbodig gemaakt. Scientific explanations of man and world have made the religious explanations unnecessary.

26. God groeit mee met de mensengeschiedenis en is dus veranderlijk. God grows with the people and history is so changeable. 

27. Ik ben er mij van bewust dat mijn levensbeschouwelijke opvatting maar een mogelijkheid is naast zovele anderen. I am well aware that my philosophical view is only one possibility amongst many others. 
 
28. 28. Ik vind dat je bijbelverhalen moet begrijpen zoals het er letterlijk geschreven staat. I think you have to understand Bible stories literally as it is written   
 
29. 29. Ondanks het vele onrecht dat het christendom mensen heeft aangedaan, blijft de originele boodschap van Christus waardevol. Despite the many injustices that Christianity has done to people, the original message of Christ remains valuable. 

30. 30. Het geloof is uiteindelijk niet meer dan een vangnet voor onze menselijke angsten. Faith is ultimately no more than a safety net for human fears.   
 
31. 31. Wereldlijke en religieuze levensbeschouwelijke opvattingen geven even waardevolle antwoorden op belangrijke levensvragen. Secular and religious conceptions give equally valuable answers to important life questions. 
 
32. 32. Om te kunnen begrijpen waar religie echt om draait, moet je een buitenstaander zijn. To understand what religion really is about, you need to be an outsider. 
 
33. 33. Geloven is een uiting van een zwakke persoonlijkheid. Believing is an expression of a weak personality.   
 
34. 34. De zin van het leven bestaat niet, alleen zingeving, en die is voor iedereen anders. The absolute meaning of life does not exist, only giving life a meaning exists, which is different for everyone. 
 
35. 35. Geloof is vaak een instrument voor machtsrverwerving en dat maakt het verdacht. Faith is often a tool for power acquisition and that makes it suspicious. 
 
36. 36. Hoewel er in het verleden vanalles is gebeurd in naam van het christendom waarmee ik niet akkoord ga, noem ik mezelf nog steeds een christen. Although much has happened in the name of Christianity in the past which I do not agree with,  I still call myself a Christian.   

The result you get is a graph. Take the first one you see, that one's yours.
It also spits out 4 values.

How am I meant to answer question 3?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I don't see how you think an atheist could do that quiz. I would have to throw out almost all the questions, which kind of renders it moot.

[Max White]

Ok, I'm not sure if it matters, but if anybody official looking asks, I come from the Flemish Brabant region.
Also, I didn't exactly 100% understand all of those questions, or most of them for that matter, so I kind of guessed a few. I'm sure it didn't affect my results as much as the region did though!

External Critique: 5
Relativism: 4

Just for reference, my actual views on the bible are
1. The bible shouldn't be taken literally. Don't be silly.
2. Despite this, there are still moral lessons to be taken from the bible.
3. Despite this, not all lessons from the bible are moral. Taking the entire thing, without discrimination, as a moral guideline is a bad idea and will lead to self contradiction.

[10ebbor10]

The thing has a believer vs unbeliever scale, so well yeah.

Also, Belgian Christians, not dutch.

As for number three, what's that verse again?

"If a man rapes a woman, he should be forced to pay her father fifty shekels of silver, and be made to wed her for the rest of his life." -Deuteronomy I think.

Reading the Bible and taking it as a flat 'Do this' is a horrible idea and will make you a horrible person. >.> Reading it to try and find lessons of morality will make you a wonderful person, so long as you apply them correctly. If you find yourself doing this:

Thinking that you're being moral, you need to eat shit and die in a fire slowly. As far as I can understand it, the New Testament preaches tolerance and love, not bigotry and hatred... Right?

Also, I can't do that quiz because I'm too Cynic Atheist for it. >.>

[Knight of Fools]

I was scratching my head throughout the entire Christianity exam. Most of the questions are too vague, confusing, or ask two questions at once. It doesn't help that Google Translate is involved.

Also, the results aren't well explained.
