What's your religious world view?

The internet is full of personality tests. You can take tests that will tell you the regular stuff, like how you react to conflict, or the slightly more sublime, like which character from super hero you are.

A year or so ago I found a test that told me what my religious world view was. I decided to take it again today to see if it had changed any. It hadn't. My results are below. At the very bottom there's a link to the test so you can take it yourself. When you're done, come back here and post in the comment section what your world view is (but don't try and copy and paste the code they give you. The comment section doesn't support html - if you didn't understand what i just typed, just ignore it).

My results:

You scored as Emergent/Postmodern. You are Emergent/Postmodern in your theology. You feel alienated from older forms of church, you don't think they connect to modern culture very well. No one knows the whole truth about God, and we have much to learn from each other, and so learning takes place in dialogue. Evangelism should take place in relationships rather than through crusades and altar-calls. People are interested in spirituality and want to ask questions, so the church should help them to do this.

Drats! Crossroads has blocked me from this site at work since it is classified as a "game".

How in the world and Mi going to maintain my creative spark if I can't play games at work???

Crossroad's web filter doesn't let games in? I never realized what a slave camp you guys were running. Do they let you take a lunch break?

You know, there were several questions in the test that I just didn't have an opinion on - and kind of answered accordingly. I've recognized and related to lots of tenants of the Post-Modern/Emergent church movement for some time now (though I tend to avoid "movements" in general) but still think ultimately these kinds of tests are gonna have a lot of blind spots.

Also, the descriptions of the world views are kind of broad enough to be almost meaningless.
