Click For Summary
Participants in the discussion about the Dante's Inferno Test express a range of results, with many landing in various levels of hell, particularly Level 6, which is designated for heretics. The conversation reveals a mix of humor and self-reflection as users share their scores and the reasoning behind their answers. Some participants feel disappointed with their results, believing they should rank higher or lower based on their self-perception of morality. The test is critiqued for its vague and binary questions, leading to debates about the accuracy of the results and the implications of honesty versus dishonesty in answering. Many participants conclude that the test seems rigged to send most people to hell, with a few claiming to have achieved the First Level of Hell, Limbo, suggesting a sense of pride in their perceived virtue. Overall, the thread highlights a playful yet introspective examination of morality through the lens of Dante's allegorical framework.

:) what's that supposed to mean??
you trying to say I'm a bad person huh? ;)
Nah. I too answered 'yes' to the 'some people deserve to die' question, but I'd apply that only to the worst of the worst that would otherwise escape penalty. Osama Bin Laden, Roy Meadows, Linda Barker, etc.

It said "Limbo" when I tried it. I was honest, too. Low for everything else except level 7 (violent) where it said "moderate."

Thats 50$ from you also.

I got a Level One-Limbo, and I think it fits with my ideals quite properly. I was indeed honest about most things.
I answered the question about whether I hated my countrymen wrong.
I do indeed hate quite a lot of my countrymen, but I answered in accordance with the spirit of the test.

Most people just live their lives in pursuit of happiness. I quite disagree and think it is wrong(even childish). This goes against my ideals as I wish to live a life which is "useful". Others should prosper from my work. My motivation is to simply make (say) my grandchildren and great-grandchildren(who will know me only by name) proud of me and what I did or tried to do.

Better get a new batch of halos.

You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle.

Great Test!

Um, Limbo is for virtuous non-believers. SOS just needs to be more heretical. :biggrin: Brainwash some children with your wild and dangerous ideas.

My conclusion: "Honesty would send you to the hell!" :wink: dishonesty is able to send you to the heaven o:)
