1How strong is your connection to ceremonies, symbols, nature, art, family celebrations, and/or rites of passage?Select

5
2Do you sometimes make a stand, raise a big stink, truly attempt to steer the group your way? To what extent?Select
0 = no, virtually never
6
3Do you feel that political leaders and the government in general are worthy of respect and should be followed, even if many people say they're wrong?Select
1 = seldom, not really
7
4Do you sometimes find yourself unable to make a decision because there are so many points of view and so many people's opinions to take into consideration?Select
2 = sometimes, somewhat
8
5Do you tend to get bogged down in complex analysis? Do you build castles in the air; inventing beautiful futuristic solutions, which are not pragmatic?Select
3 = equally yes and no
9
6To what extent do you tend to put your primary identity ahead of the world (white, black, Jew, Arab, Irishman, liberal, conservative, businessman, environmentalist, straight, gay, Christian, atheist . . . whatever it is for you)?Select
4 = fairly often, mostly
10
7How frequently are you the one to take command, to jump in and lead the team?Select
5 = frequently, predominently
11
8Do you feel that your religion is truly connected to a higher power, and that this connection sometimes overrides other considerations?Select
6 = virtually always, definitely
12
9How often does your anger run away with you?Select
13
10To what extent are you orderly, disciplined, and rule-abiding?Select
14
11Do you read and refer to the holy books of an organized religion, and do those books provide firm guidance for your life? To what extent would people describe you as traditional?Select
15
12Do you see the Earth, its inhabitants and the entire cosmos as an integrated whole, a single collective organism operating in perfect harmony?Select
16
13How superstitious are you (eg - cross your fingers, say a silent prayer before a golf shot or an exam)?Select
17
14Is the interior practice you may have built for yourself more and more important and satisfying in your life? Does it seem to lead toward a more outward, generous, inclusive attitude, and that possessions (even non-physical ones such as fame and excitement) just seem sometimes to get in the way?Select
18
15Do you have a strong ego based on your own perceptions and thinking? Do people experience you as strong-minded and solid, almost willful?Select
19
16To what extent are you sincerely inclusive of real difference in people? Gays and straights, rich and poor, black, white, brown, religious, secular, atheist, everybody . . . truly included in your world. ¬Select
20
17Do you believe that your spiritual existence is an end unto itself, a life to achieve and rest in?Select
21
18You see people who are true believers in a religion or a cause, and you might think them a little infantile, but you envy their enthusiasm. Is that like you?Select
22
19Have you cultivated an interior life using meditation, prayer, or some kind of regular discipline that stills the mind?Select
23
20How intuitive are you (eg - read a roomful of strangers, read an unfamiliar situation based on gut feeling rather than analysis)?Select
24
21To what extent do you truly think independently, rationally, and autonomously? Be careful here: it's easy for wishful thinking to inflate your view, or for low self-esteem to downgrade it.Select
25
22Do you sometimes find yourself in an emotional reaction to hierarchy?Select
26
23As you look around your circle of friends and associates, does it seem that you are less fearful, less stressed, less anxious than others? Do you feel more solid, more quiet, more at home in your own skin? More attuned to the simple joy of being alive and aware in every moment, and less distracted by the ups and downs of daily life?Select
27
24When in conversation, how often does it come back to being about you?Select
28
25Do you sometimes say things that are true, but perhaps inappropriate, that might alienate people you are close to? Maybe you're not trying to be a jerk, but might it seem like that to someone watching?Select
29
26Do you tend to get lost in your enthusiasm so much that you forget to connect to people, seeming cold and distant?Select
30
27Do you explore, feel and pragmatically work with others to solve large complex problems that serve humanity and the Earth?Select
31
28Do you sometimes focus inwardly in spiritual consciousness too long without taking earthly action?Select
