The Hermeneutics Quiz

The Hermeneutics Quiz - Interactive Assessment | BuildingChurchLeaders.com Want to know what sort of Biblical interpretation you follow? Take the quiz and find out! (I came out a 47 which is just under a moderate but yet conservative... I expect this is because of my answers to adultery, sabbath, levitical laws, and the like.)

This quiz unfairly makes the Old Testament carry more weight hermeneutically than the New Testament in terms of conservatism. Also it makes the individual's interpretation of the Bible higher than any agreed upon doctrinal statement that has endured the test of time in order to be more conservative. I scored 54 which labeled me as moderate. I was surprised to see every "1" choice was always considered the most hermeneutically conservative choice. I disagree, especially towards the end of the quiz.
Was the source of this quiz the Seventh Day Adventist church?

I agree. It is really a faulty quiz.
