AI Thread 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.

Man, so did I. I'm guessing you're a heretic as well.

And I thought I was an ok guy...

Third Level of Hell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the third circle, you find yourself amidst eternal rain, maledict, cold, and heavy. The gluttons are punished here, lying in the filthy mixture of shadows and of putrid water. Because you consumed in excess, you meet your fate beneath the cold, dirty rain, amidst the other souls that there lay unhappily in the stinking mud. Cerebus, a canine monster cruel and uncouth with his three heads and red eyes, dwells in this level. He growls and tears at the damned with his teeth and claws.


Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level Who are sent there? Score
Purgatory Repenting Believers Low
Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers High
Level 2 Lustful Low
Level 3 Gluttonous High
Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious Moderate
Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy Very Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis Heretics Very Low
Level 7 Violent Low
Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous Very Low


Not that bad :D
 
It said "Limbo" when I tried it. I was honest, too. Low for everything else except level 7 (violent) where it said "moderate."
 
ahh yeah that thing is a load of crap...God would absolute love me ;)
I'm vengeful and why shouldn't I be.
Level 5 for me :)
Well that's what I got when I did it a while ago. i think after I changed these ones: 1."do you hate a lot of people"
2."Have you wished bad things upon your fellow countrymen"
3."do you hate yourself"

These are kind of grey areas to me really.
1. Of course I hate a lot of people, but that's because a lot of the people I know are really screwed up. That is, they would stab friends in the back and they would take advantage of drunk women and, cheat and lie.

2. Damn straight I do. Just so happens that criminals and that are fellow countrymen so hell yeah I wish bad things upon them. Like I said God would love me ;)

3. Sometimes I'd have to say I do, because I have done some things that really piss me off. Things I shouldn't have...things that are just mean.

But anyway I get to level 1 if I fix those ones.
But seriously I'd have to say that I'm level 5.
The scary thing is my friends were the ones that gave me that test and they all got level 9...I wonder what they answered to get that :)?
 
Oh my!
I got purgatory level...
Something is wrong... with me
 
Level 2 Lustful Low ..at least I can die with a smile on my face!
 
We've done this test before. I think I'm still in good company. :biggrin:

Level One

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.

That is no fair, you have to be, "totaly", honest, if not you must join the

Here's what i got.And i was very honest with myself

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 9 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Ninth Level of Hell - Cocytus!
Ninth Level of Hell - Cocytus

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the deepest level of hell, where the fallen angel Satan himself resides. His wings flap eternally, producing chilling cold winds that freeze the thick ice found in Cocytus. The three faces of Satan, black, red, and yellow, can be seen with mouths gushing bloody foam and eyes forever weeping, as they chew on the three traitors, Judas, Brutus, and Cassius. This place is furthest removed from the source of all light and warmth. Sinners here are frozen deep in the ice, faces out, eyes and mouths frozen shut. Traitors against God, country, family, and benefactors lament their sins in this frigid pit of despair.

Wow. You are the worst by far. I'll work up to the ninth level some day. I just need to stop going to anger management, my violence was way too low. Hmm.. so much work to do.

wooo! I got level 3! it turns out I am actually a semi-good person!

No, yomamma, that test is wrong. You're a bad person! :P
 
  • #33
This test is designed so that everyone will go to hell. Hmm, could it be the work of...Satan!?

Too vague--not only in definition, but also combining things. For example if you cheat on a girlfriend from whom you have no commitment versus cheating on your wife, etc., these are two very different things. And a choice between sex and food, i.e., promiscuity and gluttony, this is a no-win question. And too black and white. Do you believe in God? Yes or no, but what about you hope there is one but aren't sure?

Don't worry people...it's rigged.

I am very nice and I got level 6. No surprise that Dex is that deep into hell :smile:

I was high on 1, 5, and 6

I knew there had to be a reason why yomamma came out more "good" than moi. ;)
 
  • #36
Oh yes, and for members under the age of 18, the test definitely is not valid. :rolleyes:
 
  • #37
This test was aimed at being a good person based on Christian Beliefs, otherwise yes/no answers wouldn't work. Anyway, I go to lvl 1 and a scored very high in Lvl 1 and Heretic(whatever lvl that is).

No, no, no, no, no, some of us are simply more virtuous than others.

Hold on here. I don't see the logic. If you don't believe in God do you automatically go to the 6th level? I took this test earlier and I put I didn't believe in God and I ended up in Limbo, but now I'm shunned to the 6th level - I've been falsely accused! Where's my lawyer??

Eigth Level of Hell - the Malebolge

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many and varied sinners suffer eternally in the multi-leveled Malebolge, an ampitheatre-shapped pit of despair Wholly of stone and of an iron colour: Those guilty of fraudulence and malice; the seducers and pimps, who are whipped by horned demons; the hypocrites, who struggle to walk in lead-lined cloaks; the barraters, who are ducked in boiling pitch by demons known as the Malebranche. The simonists, wedged into stone holes, and whose feet are licked by flames, kick and writhe desperately. The magicians, diviners, fortune tellers, and panderers are all here, as are the thieves. Some wallow in human excrement. Serpents writhe and wrap around men, sometimes fusing into each other. Bodies are torn apart. When you arrive, you will want to put your hands over your ears because of the lamentations of the sinners here, who are afflicted with scabs like leprosy, and lay sick on the ground, furiously scratching their skin off with their nails. Indeed, justice divine doth smite them with its hammer.


Wow, and I use to think I was such a nice guy.

It's religion based.

It's garbage... mad garbage.
 
  • #45
I'm easily a level 2... no surprise... also high on levels 1 and 8... somehow i scored moderate on violent... even though I'm very very anti-violence, and answered accordingly on all the questions... I'm not sure what i answered that gave me points there... therefore the test is crap... which we all knew anyways...

on a separate note, i read the divine trilogy... or at least most of it. i read all of the inferno and some of the rest. Not the easiest read...
 
  • #46
Dang, am I disappointed, level 6, I should be much higher then that, Dex is my hero! I strive for level 9... Perhaps if I take it over I can do better... Nah.. the first time was a waste of time.

Evo... :confused: I am surely disapointed, I thought so highly of you. o:)
 
  • #47
I am a wrathful, gloomy, Fraudulent, Malicious heretic and panderer. I am being sent to the 6th level of hell: The City of Dis

If I remember correctly I got level six when I took that test. That was a while ago though I may have racked up some more sins since then. :-p

And what about your results SOS?
