Your Result
Buddhism may or may not be right for you, depending on how much of your present life you are willing to sacrifice.
If you currently consider yourself a Buddhist, you may want to touch up on the Eightfold Path and adjust your living habits a bit.
If you aren't currently a Buddhist, you show a desire to lead a more humble life should you find that the idea of setting aside your worldly possessions and even your own ego isn't too frightening. If it isn't, look up a bit of information on Buddhism... there's a reason behind it all, even the questions asked here, with the purpose being a more fulfilling life living in the here and now!

You are a genuine Buddhist! You are traveling on the road to enlightenment in the here and now!
Or if you aren't a Buddhist, you seem to maintain a very Buddhist perspective on the world. Perhaps you should look up a bit of information on Buddhism... who knows, you might like it!
Much better than the other one where my lack of knowledge and info about Tibetan Buddhism did me in and I only got 50% :mad:

Well, really!! *sniffs indignantly*!
Mind you, if you will post such trivia, you're always going to get puerile answers!
I really don't think we should hang to much on these results!
I would say you are every bit as Buddhist as I am. And I am every bit as much a Buddhist as you are.

my result:
"The Bodhisattva
You are a devout Mahayanian
Based on your answers its clear you are of the Mahayana school, “The Greater Vehicle.” Through deep meditation you can realize the truly empty and baseless nature of self. You begin to see that all things are interconnected and interdependent on each other; since nothing exists alone, everything is void of existence. This concept of emptiness called “shunyata” is one of the major pillars in Mahayana philosophy. This school emphasizes the path of liberation is not only for oneself but for the mutual enlightenment of all beings. For this reason, Mahayanists see the Bodhisattva archetype as the most idyllic aspiration. Through following the 6 Paramitas (generosity, morality, patience, energy, meditation, and wisdom) one can become a Boddhisattva, leading all sentient beings to full realization of Buddha-nature.The tendency of this school of Buddhism is to absolve oneself in emptiness and the experience of compassionate action. It is important to realize that we must acknowledge all parts of ourselves to gain full understanding of the nature of existence. Passion, Fear, Aggression, Hate, Pride, Greed are all powerful and disturbing human emotions but they have the ability to show us profound insights into our nature (or lack there of)."
I think Glow's got it......
Buddhism may not be the right path for you.
Buddhism requires a detachment from this world and your own ego to confer its greatest rewards and the straight fact of the matter is some people just don't want to part with those things they hold dear. But that's okay! Buddhism clearly isn't for everyone, but for those looking for a more humble way of living, it's a very good start!
I got the same answer. Maybe I am, maybe I am not.
I got "You are a avid Vajrayanist" from zombiegirl's quiz.
