2. Interesting
Your rating on science vs. non-science: -2
Your rating on progress for humankind: 6
Your position on the worldview spectrum: (6,-2)

There are some questions that could be worded better - and the bonus question is kind of non-sensical as written.

4. Agreed, it could be better.
I though some of the question were a bit simplistic and black-&-white, but I still thought it was interesting.

9. Very interesting!
Science v. non-science: 5
Progress for humankind: 10
Worldview spectrum: (10,5)

Sort of between the Dalai Lama and Carl Sagan -- luminary companions, to be sure!

Maybe I'm not really as cynical and pessimistic as I've been feeling in recent years.

:)

10. I have yet to take one of these kinds of quizzes
where I didn't come damned close to (0,0). No matter how long or short. Crap.

Your rating on science vs. non-science: 0
Your rating on progress for humankind: 2
Your position on the worldview spectrum: (2,0)

I vaguely suspect that had a few questions been worded a little more ambiguously (or perhaps less ambiguously) I'd have come in at (0,0).

Not that I'm really a centrist. Just that I'm extreme in a few contradictory ways, and they average out.

11. Personally...
I loved how they lumped homeopathy and magnet therapy into the same question - it got a smile out of me.

Your rating on science vs. non-science: 10
Your rating on progress for humankind: 8
Your position on the worldview spectrum: (8,10)

15. I am a 10,10 like Carl Sagan.
Thankfully the polar opposite of GWB, OBL and Pat Robertson.
