How do I interpret my scores?

Determine your highest score. If you are evenly matched, consider yourself a well-rounded individual. You possess the qualities of all three spiritual traditions without the drawback associated with fixating upon one path. For everyone else, keep track of this score and the second highest score. We will discuss what these mean below.

DOGMATIC:

Higher dogmatic scores indicate a highly principled person who believes in living life correctly based on the teachings of scriptures, teachers, or prophets. Higher dogmatic scores also reveal a person who believes that there is only one right path to salvation or enlightenment. Dogmatic types are often in deep reverence for their faith.

MYSTICAL:

Higher mystical scores indicate a person who makes sense of the world around them through their own self. Spiritual enlightenment for a mystical type involves polishing one's own heart, mind, and body. Mystical prayers are often ecstatic, involving singing, dancing, music, or poetry. Mystical types can frequently seem perplexing and impulsive.

ESOTERIC:

Higher esoteric scores indicate a person who lives life by the principles set forth by more dogmatic traditions while, at the same time, also living life by the mystic's tendency to translate the world around them into themselves. Esoteric types rely heavily upon symbol and meditation for answers to their questions. Quite possibly the most distinctively secretive type, esoteric people guard their mysteries well--keeping those who are not ready for enlightenment away from powerful ideas and beliefs.
