HOW DID YOU DO?

8-13: You’re a practical person. You probably feel uncomfortable with the irrational and like to turn to science for your explanations. You give a wide berth to those whom you feel have flaky views on existence.

14-19: You might not be actively spiritual, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have an open mind about such things. You’ve got room for a little mystery in your life. When you make time for it, you can find the spiritual in family life and nature.

20-24: You’re very spiritual — and most likely have had a few experiences that have opened your mind to the possibility of life beyond the everyday world.
