Overall, it rates me in the Third Circle: the land of the gluttons. I think it’s because I used God’s name in vain when there wasn’t an “all the freaking time, baby” option for the “Do you masturbate frequently” question. And I was eating a Big Mac at the time, too. I rank very high in levels 3 thru 5 (Gluttonous, Prodigal and Avaricious, and Wrathful and Gloomy), high in levels 2, 6, and 7(Lustful Extreme, The City Dis, and Violent), moderate in levels 8 and 9 (the Malebolge Extreme and Cocytus Treacherous), low in limbo, and very low in purgatory. I guess everyone should avoid me, huh? ---

Purgatory * * * You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins are cleansed from your soul, you will be illuminated by the Sun of Divine Grace, and you will join other souls, smiling and happy, upon the summit of this mountain. Before long you will know the joys of Paradise as you ascend to the ethereal realm of Heaven. ---

Hmph, I’m only a level seven. Is it wrong for me to want a high score? ---

Depends, pre-marital sex = Level 6, no pre-marital sex = Limbo ---

Limbo. Could be a lot worse. Though I think some of the questions need some work: surely attending religious services being good or bad depends on whether it’s worshiping God in a church (which I might, if only I believed), or my staple of drinking and flirting at an (ironic) worshippers of Cthulhu meeting? ---

Seventh Level of Hell for lil’ ol’ me… is that bad? - Guarded by the Minotaur, who snarls in fury, and encircled within the river Phlegethon, filled with boiling blood, is the Seventh Level of Hell. The violent, the assasins, the tyrants, and the war-mongers lament their pitiless mischiefs in the river, while centaurs armed with bows and arrows shoot those who try to escape their punishment. The stench here is overpowering. This level is also home to the wood of the suicides- stunted and gnarled trees with twisting branches and poisoned fruit. At the time of final judgement, their bodies will hang from their branches. In those branches the Harpies, foul birdlike creatures with human faces, make their nests. Beyond the wood is scorching sand where those who committed violence against God and nature are showered with flakes of fire that rain down against their naked bodies. Blasphemers and sodomites writhe in pain, their tongues more loosed to lamentation, and out of their eyes gushes forth their woe. Usurers, who followed neither nature nor art, also share company in the Seventh Level.\* Dang, just because I like sex… and sometimes I hate people. And I don’t like God sometimes… GOSH! This makes me sound like I’m a bad person or something. _SOB_ ---

First Level of Hell - Limbo * * * Charon ushers you across the river Acheron, and you find yourself upon the brink of grief’s abysmal valley. You are in Limbo, a place of sorrow without torment. You encounter a seven-walled castle, and within those walls you find rolling fresh meadows illuminated by the light of reason, whereabout many shades dwell. These are the virtuous pagans, the great philosophers and authors, unbaptised children, and others unfit to enter the kingdom of heaven. You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle. There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad. ---

Level 7?!

I never go anywhere, do anything, hurt anyone (as far as I know). I try very hard to be a good person. I don’t get this at all. I know these little quizzes are all in fun, but I can’t help but find this upsetting. ---

I scored Very High in levels 1 and 5, but wound up swimming in the mud by the River Styx somehow. Must be that whole premarital sex thing, as I’ve never seen myself as being especially Wrathful or Gloomy. ---

The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis! Here is how you matched up against all the levels: Level | Score Purgatory | Very Low Level 1 - Limbo | Very Low Level 2 | High Level 3 | High Level 4 | Extreme Level 5 | Very High Level 6 - The City of Dis | Extreme Level 7 | Extreme Level 8- the Malebolge | Very High Level 9 - Cocytus | High I get to go to The City of Dis! W00t! Not bad not a non-practicing Satanist Agnostic. 😃 **DreadCthulhu** Wouldn’t an elder god be far to alien to be sent to our mortal Hell. Even if you could be killed, could you be judged and sent to Hell without you taking it over from Satan? Do you even have a soul or heart to be judged?😕 ---

I took the Personality Disorder test and got a Low on everything except Obsessive-Compulsive, on which I got a Moderate (Low and Moderate, says the website, indicate low probabilities of having a certain disorder). I have ADD, so I figured I’d get a little something on Obsessive-Compulsive. Thought I’d be in for a few of the others, too, but apparently not. ---
