http://www.dhammadana.org/en/main/test.htm
apparently i "will be a man in a completely ordinary life. However, let us be clear that to be born in the human world is already an exceptional advantage. You will experience neither great sufferings nor great happiness. You will generally have some difficulties getting what you need. The numerous negligences in your former life (the present one) will be the basis of a deep-rooted awkwardness in all your endeavours.
probably not too bad, but i'm not that sure i'd want to be a man! |

I got this rather subjective result: "You will be a rich man."
The rest of the page was just some philosophical dogma used in an attempt to make me join their cult.
I once did the 300 question Scientology questionnaire at a Church of Scientology branch. My friend was there too and we soon noticed a pattern in the questions when we came upon one that went along the lines of:
How often do you think about death?
a) Sometimes
b) Often
c) All the time
They deliberately left out "Never", "Rarely", "I hadn't until you brought it up!" |

Yay! Don't you just love these sites?

Reminder
This Test's result must not be taken too seriously. It is only a way to present the principles of kamma in an original way. The lives described in these results are only examples of the type of rebirth that might be encountered by someone who continues to conduct his life (in actions, words or thought) according to the answers he has given. It is also a way to highlight that none of us is sufficiently conscious and keeps in mind the great importance of those actions of body, speech or mind that we perform all the time.
Have a look, then, at the description of the rebirth that could be awaiting you if you continue to live according to the replies you have given...
Example of your next existence
Is there anything sadder than a little bird confined to a small cage? A bird whose only possessions are a horizontal wooden bar and a cage floor encrusted with excrement, making even less palatable the handful of old seeds, always in the same plastic bowl that is never rinsed, same as the bowl containing soiled, stagnant water. There is no joy in a whole life spent inside this small, filthy cell, without ever being able to go out. Not to mention that huge, monstrous cat who, whenever the humans turn their back, prowls around the prison, sticking his terrifying claws through the metal bars of the cage. |
They're out to frighten me, right?
Well, they've frightened me alright. I am that frightened of their religion that I think I'll just stick to my good ol' Christian faith with its promise of paradise.
(This, it seems, is what they give to somebody who gives money to beggars, waits patiently in restaurants for their food to arrive, and yelps in pain when bitten by a dog. A lot of the other questions my truthful answer was "none of the above" so I just had to do my best to imagine which of a range of answers which weren't "me" were closest to being "me". Heigh ho ... ) |

That'd be because it's a cult trying to get us to delve ever deeper into the "mysticisms" they claim to hold. |

Example of your next existence
You will live in complete squallor. Your main daily occupation will be searching for leftover food at the bottom of dustbins, or for pitiful edible roots, in order to appease some of the suffering caused by complete insolvency and deprivation. You will be so weakened that the simple exercise of having to pick out with the tongue the dust and sand mixed into the rare edible morsels will be exhausting.
The many diseases that your body will have developed will make it very hard for you to endure the cold nights in the desert, only half covered by an old, tattered plastic sheeting. This abominable existence will feel like an eternity. |
