I found a quiz going round the Christian blogosphere which I could take (because it can’t access my personal information), unlike the dangerous Facebook quiz I discussed yesterday: Test your C-Factor. I come out with a C-Factor, a level of Calvinism, of 47%, which means that I am “somewhat of a Calvinist”. That’s more than Michael, and a lot more than Doug, but much less than Kevin.
Here are my full results:
Test your C-Factor
47%You are somewhat of a Calvinist. Some of your points of view make you look like a Calvinist. However, you live your life in a lighter way than Calvinists do, which allows you to enjoy it more.
ID Category Score Comment 52 Work 57% You sure have a Calvinistic working ethos. You never work hard enough; work for you is your bounden duty. You are the type of employee any company desires, but the balance between your work and private life may get disturbed. 55 Strictness 40% You know how to enjoy life. You don’t always spend your time in a useful way. Mind the balance! 57 Sobriety 50% You were not born to be a Calvinist. Catholicism suits you better � slightly hedonistic, loose and emotional. 56 Relationships 0% In your relationships you are not very reserved. One might say: uncalvinistic. You let yourself go too easily to be a Calvinist. 53 Beliefs 60% You are an unconcerned believer, who doesn’t worry too much. Test your C-Factor47%You are somewhat of a Calvinist.

Actually I am rather surprised to see such a high score on work, and such a low one on relationships, considering how I answered the questions. But I think the overall score makes sense: not a Calvinist but some leanings that way.
AARGH, even though I was trying hard not to be one, I also came out as 50% – somewhat of a Calvinist. I shall have to go and say some hail marys to get the balance back! (only joking UV!!)
Oh these little tests are fun – light hearted relief in the run up to my younger daughter’s wedding! And there was at least one question I did not understand.
I came out at 50%, somewhat of a Calvinist, which overal I guess is fair. And I have been called a closet Calvinist in the past! My scores in the same order were 43%, 60% (good gracious), 50%, 0% (odd) , and 40%.
Not sure how “work” is understood here, but I am certainly not consumed by it. But I would not have thought I was over straight and strict. And in relationships I am sure I show at least some sterotype British male reserve and stff upper lip – must be my moustache!
Lead me to the next – as long as it is safe to use.

Suzanne, CD-Host and Brian all also come out at 47%. Seems a popular figure, or maybe the quiz has an inbuilt bias towards that figure. Welcome to the 47% Calvinist Club!
I’m feeling rather alone up at 83%. There aren’t many that high.
