Which Theologian Are You - Entertaining Quiz

Picture of St. AnselmDid you ever wonder which theologian you are most like? There is now an online quiz that will tell you after you answer a few theological questions. I’m not sure how accurate the results are but it’s rather fun anyway.

I just took the quiz and discovered that my closest theological match is with Anselm, the famous twelfth century theologian/scholar/archbishop. Anselm is perhaps best-known for his ontological argument for the existence of God. He is also the archbishop who opposed the crusades.

Following Anselm by a wide margin I apparently compare favorably with Jonathan Edwards and Paul Tillich. The quiz is available here if you would like to try yourself. Leave a comment here after you take the quiz and let me know who you compare to.

My Results:

  • Anselm - 80%
  • Jonathan Edwards - 60%
  • Paul Tillich - 60%
  • Karl Barth - 53%
  • John Calvin - 53%
  • Martin Luther - 53%
  • Augustine - 40%
  • Charles Finney - 40%
  • Jürgen Moltmann - 33%
  • Friedrich Schleiermacher - 33%
