If there’s a Hell below, we’re all gonna go

The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished me to the Sixth Level of Hell – The City of Dis. Detailed report follows.

Here is how I matched up against all the levels:

LevelScore
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)Very Low
Level 1 – Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)Very High
Level 2 (Lustful)Moderate
Level 3 (Gluttonous)Low
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)Very Low
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)Low
Level 6 – The City of Dis (Heretics)Very High
Level 7 (Violent)Moderate
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)Low
Level 9 – Cocytus (Treacherous)Low

I’ll settle for that. I think this test is discriminating on some kind of underlying variable because William Sjostrom suffers a quite different fate from me. He’s in with the Wrathful and Gloomy, with Repenting Believers running a close second.

You too can take the Dante’s Inferno Hell Test.

I knew you sociologists were EVIL!
I am only at Level 2, which is higher than one might expect for someone with a degree in education policy.

I thought I knew Curtis Mayfield pretty well, but I don’t know that. I got level one, the virtuous pagans, but I think all Dante’s virtuous pagans are pre-Christian. There’s no way he’d go easy on agnostics in Christian cultures. These test people are a bunch of softies.

Limbs of women, hair of serpents, I can deal with that (let’s look on the bright side).

Sixth level, huh? Well in that case you needn’t worry about blogging distracting you from serious academic pursuits, since according to this you’ve just snapped up a place at the world’s strongest philosophy department. And we all know how keen you are on interdisciplinary exchanges.

Got exactly the same results as you, except for levels 4 and 5, which were switched around—not surprisingly, as a female I spend irresponsibly and as a male you get angry about it—talk about sociological stereotypes…

Other than that, we’re even, as pagan as can be. It must be a sociological thing.

I was level six as well, along with a healthy dose of “wrathful and gloomy” though I really think of myself as being considerably more rathful than gloomy. Somehow, I think, the wrath cheers me up.

Level two. I’m still trying to figure out why I would be interpreted as violent. Must be all those violent mvoies I watch….
