Another quiz shows I'm a poseur!
The results of how I rank below the first two make me pretty happy:
You scored as Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan. You are an evangelical in the Wesleyan tradition. You believe that God's grace enables you to choose to believe in him, even though you yourself are totally depraved. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives you assurance of your salvation, and he also enables you to live the life of obedience to which God has called us. You are influenced heavly by John Wesley and the Methodists.

What's your theological worldview?

However, I think I'm slightly more neo-orthodox than Wesleyan, but some of the questions were worded in odd dualisms:
"Private piety and devotion is more important than political and social action" -- as if the private/public distinction actually existed and you could separate our politics from our faith.
"Spirituality is more important than detailed dogmatics" -- as if dogmatics aren't spiritual and spirituality can't be dogmatic (ever heard of charismatics?). Another dualism that need not (and doesn't) exist.
On some of the questions like that I just marked the center bubble with my number two pencil a.k.a. mouse click!
The neo-orthodox (radically orthodox?) text taken from Lee's results:
You scored as Neo orthodox. You are neo-orthodox. You reject the human-centredness and scepticism of liberal theology, but neither do you go to the other extreme and make the Bible the central issue for faith. You believe that Christ is God's most important revelation to humanity, and the Trinity is hugely important in your theology. The Bible is also important because it points us to the revelation of Christ. You are influenced by Karl Barth and P T Forsyth.
Again, I haven't read any Barth, but that sounds much closer to me than the Wesleyan stuff above, although I affirm that as well.
These tests are silly little things, but these last couple were a bit more fun than most.
