See which level of Hell you belong in, based on Dante's Inferno.

(I'm in limbo, but I was very nearly in level 3)

Hey - guess what? Level 6 - I'm a heretic! I should be burnt at the stake - my ex-boss always called me a witch because without actually doing anything myself and letting the others get on with it, I always ended up getting things my own way.

Hurrah for me!

OK, I've just checked... Level 5: the Wrathful & the Gloomy. I scored "Very high" for that level... I also scored "high" for Level 1/limbo (for virtuous non-believers) and also for both of levels 3 (the gluttonous) and 6 (heretics); "moderate" for each of levels 7 to 9 (which are for _ the violent; the fraudulent, the malicious, & panderers; and the treacherous); and "very low" for Purgatory (repentant believers... my being an atheist must have ruled that one out), level 1 (the lustful) and level 4 (the prodigal & avaricious).
H'mm... So far none of us are ending up in the same levels. I wonder how the pattern will change if more of you take tthe test?

I get either level 3 (gluttony) or limbo, depending on a couple debatable answers. I was also moderate on a couple others.

Lycanthra - nothing gloomy about being a heretic! If you answered the questions the same way I did, there is NOTHING gloomy about being a heretic!!

Second Level - I am most lustful, apparently. Oh, well. Maybe Virgil will come pay me a visit...

Erm, 'Very High' for Wrathful and Gloomy, Heretics and Treacherous (Levels 5,6 &9). and 'Extreme' for the Malebolge, violent and lustful (Levels 2, 7 & 8).

I have no idea how I maneged to score so highly for violence, although the lustful I can see as a possibility...

Question: Dante's Divine Comedy. Wasn't much of a laugh, was it?

Hee. I'm an extreme heretic. And also very high on lust and gluttony. Hurrah!

Very low on repenting believerness, apparently, low on virtuous non-believerness (hmmm...) and on wrathful gloominess, and high on everything else.

Well, i'm happy with that.

Auntysassy - you're right I can't wait for the next lot of Jehovah's Witnesses to come round, maybe I'll finally scare them off, I've been trying to get rid of them for years, could be worse maybe the Baconites will come calling

Lycanthra - try promising to invite them to the next sacrifice :) Worked for a friend of mine...

I've been told that they don't come to the places where there is a wind-chime, don't ask me why.

Good, I'll try that one! They also don't like anyone who donates blood either. So I'll wear my donors badge as well

Answer the door in a dinner suit, and ask if they'd like to donate some blood....
