In a handbasket

Just took the Dante's Inferno test, and apparently I am banished to the 2nd level of hell. I thought for sure I would end up in the third, but I guess you really never do know.

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

Level

Score

Purgatory (Repenting Believers)

Low

Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)

Very Low

Level 2 (Lustful)

Very High

Level 3 (Gluttonous)

High

Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)

Moderate

Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)

Moderate

Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)

Low

Level 7 (Violent)

High

Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)

Moderate

Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)

Low

Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test

Interestingly, the score for the test don't match up with Dante's conception of the relative severity of the different categories of sin. I can see how a modern test designer would de-emphasize the damnative power of heretical thinking - but treachery, surely, is still serious. It would be interesting to see a test that more closely matches Dante's vision. Could even be useful...

I too am Lustful, with strong showings in Wrathful and Gloomy, and Violent.

Buckethead, with a few minor exceptions, my hell looks like your hell.

Except your hell includes Noam Chomsky and mine Anne Coulter.
