What Tradition are You?

Jared Emailed me this link to a quiz that tells you which denomination you agree with by percentage, here is the site http://www.selectsmart.com/plus/select.php?url=denomtradition
my results were:
(100%) 1: Presbyterian/Reformed
(97%) 2: Anglican/Episcopal/Church of England
(94%) 3: Baptist (Reformed/Particular/Calvinistic)
(93%) 4: Congregational/United Church of Christ
(90%) 5: Anabaptist (Mennonite/Quaker etc.)
(90%) 6: Methodist/Wesleyan/Nazarene
(88%) 7: Eastern Orthodox
(72%) 8: Pentecostal/Charismatic/Assemblies of God
(72%) 9: Roman Catholic
(68%) 10: Church of Christ/Campbellite
(51%) 11: Baptist (non-Calvinistic)/Plymouth Brethren/Fundamentalist
(45%) 12: Seventh-Day Adventist
(33%) 13: Lutheran

I'm happy about these results, but I know they have alot to do with my recent research in theology - before I never would have been 72% Roman Catholic. So I decided to redo the test and figure out where I was before my theological education and took the test as though it was sept 2006, here are the results and I think they are perfectly accurate for that time as well:
(100%) 1: Baptist (non-Calvinistic)/Plymouth Brethren/Fundamentalist
(96%) 2: Anabaptist (Mennonite/Quaker etc.)
(79%) 3: Seventh-Day Adventist
(71%) 4: Pentecostal/Charismatic/Assemblies of God
The lowest was Roman Catholic.

Thus this test has affirmed for me that now I must find a Presbyterian/Reformed church to attend, or an Anglican/CofE church.

Quotes For Thought

"If baptism is the beginning of my life, and the day of regeneration is the first of days, it is obvious that the words spoken when I received the grace of adoption are more honorable than any spoken since....Through this confession I was made a child of God, I, who was His enemy for so long because of my sins. May I pass from this life to the Lord with this confession on my lips." - St. Basil the Great, On the Holy Spirit, par. 26.

"To know Jesus and Jesus crucified is the sum total of my philosophy." - St. Bernard of Clairvaux

"Oh the extraordinary goodness of God toward man? The just of the Old Testament thank God in the weariness of long years; but that which they obtained, by means of a long and heroic service pleasing to God, Jesus gives to you in the brief time span of an hour. Indeed, if you believe that Jesus Christ is the lord, and that God had raised him from the dead, you will be saved and you will be introduced into heaven by the same one who introduced the good thief." - St. Cyril of Jerusalem

"He made us to believe in Christ, who made for us a Christ on whom we believe. He makes in men the beginning and the completion of the faith in Jesus who made the man Jesus the beginner and finisher of faith" - St. Augustine

"Nor must we trust in holiness of origin, in forefathers, or in
the gifts of God which we enjoy. We must look to the Word alone and judge thereby. Those alone who truly embrace the Word will be as immovable forever as Mount Zion. They may be few in number and thoroughly despised by the world, as were Noah and his children. But God, through these few, preserved to man the truth of that promised mastery when he had not even room to set his foot upon the earth." - Bl. Martin Luther "Commentary on Genesis"
