If you take the quiz, please post your results in the comments section of this blog post (just click on the comments link and post your name and email and results…don’t worry, your email address won’t be published on the site). I’m curious to see the results of my friends and family (and any strangers who wander by as well).
I was actually pretty shocked at the results I got. The first half dozen responses are not what I expected. I expected to get higher ratings on Taoism, but it was my 8th match at 81%. Maybe I’m not as Tao as I think I am.
