Your spiritual outlook
30 statements about belief, meaning, practice and doubt. Your answers give a score for six spiritual outlooks, from rooted in a faith tradition to secular, and the one closest to you.
30 statements, no time limit
Before you start
Take the test somewhere quiet where you won't be interrupted.
- Tap one of five answers for each statement. There are no right or wrong answers.
- Answer for how you usually are, not how you would like to be. Your first reaction is usually best.
- You can go back to check or change an answer. The last question asks your age group.
- There's no time limit, so take the time you need.

What you get a score for
- Rooted in tradition. Finding meaning in a faith tradition: its teachings, practices and community.
- Spiritual seeker. Exploring many paths, teachings and practices to find what rings true.
- Spiritual but not religious. A personal sense of the sacred, lived out on your own terms rather than through an institution.
- Nature-centred. Feeling the deepest sense of meaning and wonder in the natural world.
- Open questioner. Holding big questions open: thinking them through without settling on a firm answer.
- Secular humanist. Finding meaning in reason, people and this life, without belief in the supernatural.
