well, i've always considered myself to only be moderately wise, if even that, so i was a bit surprised at my rating. i dithered over my answers to several of the questions, and when i went back and answered all those differently, i too scored 3.7.

the questionnaire as a whole struck me as rather western-thought-centric, and when i went back and some of my answers in light of my admittedly imperfect grasp of buddhism and taoism, it lowered my score.

my strongest feeling is that any test that scores me as having relatively high wisdom probably ought to be taken with a grain or two of salt.

then again, i regard my parents as wise people. perhaps they're rubbing off on me more than i realized. that would probably be a good thing.; Wednesday, May 09, 2007 5:54:00 PM
