According to this Theological Worldview quiz, I’m an “emergent/postmodern”.
I’m not even sure what those words mean together. 
I’m also wondering which answer I gave got me points in the fundie category. To be fair, I didn’t think through some of these questions that intensely.
The interesting part will be to see how different my husband’s Calvinist theology is from mine.
A postmodern joke from Disinfotainment:
How many deconstructionists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
Even the framing of this question makes a grid of patriarchal assumptions that reveals a slavish devotion to phallocentric ideas - such as, technical accomplishment has inherent value, knowledge can be attained and quantities of labor can be determined empirically, all of which makes a discourse which further marginalizes the already disenfranchised.
Props to Heather R. at Holy Vignettes for pointing out the quiz. She’s got a kick-ass sermon there on the 9th chapter of John that’s definitely worth checking out.

My results:
You are a Reformed Evangelical. You take the Bible very seriously because it is God’s Word. You most likely hold to TULIP and are sceptical about the possibilities of universal atonement or resistible grace. The most important thing the Church can do is make sure people hear how they can go to heaven when they die.
Reformed/Evangelical 68%
Neo-orthodox 61%
Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan 54%
Charismatic/Pentecostal 50% (Anybody got a snake to handle?)
Roman Catholic 50% (damnable papists)
Emergent/Postmodern 43% (I don’t know what that means, but it means whatever I want it to mean, since reality and language are bound up together)
Classical Liberal 36%
Modern Liberal 36%
Fundamentalist 29%
Scared yet?
