What fresh hell is this?

[pameladean]

I couldn't resist this; I mean, it's literary.

It's clear from my Friends list that, as I always suspected, I will be in very good company in Hell.

I had a lot of trouble with the quiz and got a fair amount of gleeful grim ironic pleasure out of it too. I don't think I was very consistent. I know what I think sin is, and I know what the test conceives sin to be for its purposes, and there is not very much of a match there. I didn't always manage to stay in the fictional parameters, or out of them.

I am sorry if my next remark offends anybody, but my primary feeling as I finished was to think, "I am so glad I'm not a Christian." I suppose I should be more properly glad that I am not a medieval Italian Catholic.

Here you go:

"The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Level | Score
Purgatory | Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo | High
Level 2 | High
Level 3 | High
Level 4 | Very Low
Level 5 | Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very High
Level 7 | High
Level 8- the Malebolge | Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus | Low

Re: I wonder why so many of my friends rate as Heretics?

I don't know about that particular question; it may depend on whether one is not-Christian or aggressively atheistic, which when I took the test I sure was. But there is something funny about the test anyway. Several people I know ended up in Level 7 for not much visible reason, and I noticed that a lot of us in 6 have High ratings for "Violent." I have, in my case, NO IDEA where that came from, unless from being gleefully atheistic. I didn't answer the questions about anger and whether some people just deserve to die in a violent fashion, and I didn't answer the questions about suicide in the affirmative.

I got a high rating for violence, too. The only things I can think of that might have contributed to that were thinking that some people deserve to die (even though I have no intention of giving them what they deserve) and having once attempted suicide. (If you can call it an attempt when you fall asleep in the middle.)

I have more to say about the questionable questions used, but already said it on my own journal page: see skylarker
