Mostly for fun, I took this test. Needed to find the meaning of recant and gullible.
As far as I can be sure, I am more of a non-religious person, though spirituality in general is important to me, so it is kind of right, though I do find the “0% reason oriented” comment slightly offensive! they probably intended it to mean I am neutral towards reason.
The results:
You fit in with: Taoism
Your ideals mostly resemble those of the Taoist faith. Spirituality is the most important thing in your life. You strive to live by all of your ideals, and live a very intellectually focused life.
Note from the quiz: Ok geeks, listen up! We all have our favorite characters. Some of us pick the character who can do the most damage; others choose to play a character they can roleplay really well. So, come on, see who you really are in the fantasy world.
My results as a gamer though , it is atleast partially off the mark, still was fun and worth trying
Fighter!
Victory! You scored 41!
The clash of steel, the heat of battle, the chaffing of your chainmail bikini. Looks like you’re the fighter. You are tough, strong and have cool head about you. You’re disiplined and tactical. You tend to think with just your muscles though and sometimes you have to get a little help from your more scholarly friends. But don’t worry; somebody’s gotta knock down the door later and smashing’s what you do best. So layeth on the smackdown good warrior and may thine boot find thine opponent’s ass verily.
My results as how I look at life are below, though again it off the mark
Monk!
Victory! You scored 3!
“It is time for you to leave Grasshopper.”
You travel. Work. Sleep when you can. You’re a monk. You are contemplative, simple and quiet. However, the second anyone gives you shit you fly into a furious whirlwind of martial arts mayhem. Your friends give you the space you need and you only speak when neccessary. However, you’re a mystery to most. You’re most likely to end up wandering the frontier, barefoot with the sun beating down on your ragged hat and on the run from someone. It’s all good though. With any luck, you can get into one of Quentin Tarantino’s films.
After sufficiently quoting myself as a friend pointed out some bloggers tend to do, I would like to recommend a Novella (kind of a long story, but much shorter than a novel) which is also a 2006 Hugo Award winner:
It is a story of a skeptic meeting a channeler, a very nicely balanced work and has extra appeal to the science minded (Due to the puzzle, it is indeed a strange loop) and the supernatural minded.

Gayatri Mantra in Battlestar Galactica
It is back.
Probably the best Sci-Fi TV serial on air, Battlestar Galactica is back, though Doctor Who and Heroes are strong contenders. The link is for Wikipedia as the original website on scifi does not display at all on firefox and linux showing only the ads and not the contents.
Which brings me to the Gayatri Mantra which is the theme song of Battlestar Galactica. For those who do not know about it, it comes from ancient Indian (Sanskrit) books called Upanishads. From Wikipedia
O God, Thou art the giver of life, the remover of pain and sorrow, the bestower of happiness; O Creator of the Universe, may we receive Thy supreme, sin destroying light; may Thou guide our intellect in the right direction
The other Indian music in the mix has been Chaiya Chaiya song from the movie “Dil Se” with music from A.R. Rahman which was in Spike Lee’s movie Inside Man and in the first episode of the TV series, Smith. Link for lyrics and translation in English of Chaiya chaiya
Jaan Pehechaan Ho in Ghostworld
And then there was Jaan Pehechaan Ho in the fabulous movie, GhostWorld from an old Indian movie Gumnaam.
The lyrics translated roughly mean “If we come to know each other, life will be a little easier”
Here’s to more Indian music, it is getting to be a good mix.
Update: Sepia mutiny has an article on something similar,Battlestar Galactica is desi friendly. They do have a point about ignorance in US TV serial,s the unit had the CIA department head ‘detecting’ the off shore call center employee and telling her that he knows she is in “Karachi, India” and the list goes on.
they probably intended it to mean I am neutral towards reason.
