The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Ninth Level of Hell - Cocytus!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels: Level | Score Purgatory | Very Low Level 1 - Limbo | Very Low Level 2 | High Level 3 | Low Level 4 | Moderate Level 5 | Very High Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very High Level 7 | High Level 8- the Malebolge | Very High Level 9 - Cocytus | Very High
Level descriptions: <a href='http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-information.html' target='_blank'>http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno...nformation.html</a> Take the test: <a href='http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv' target='_blank'>http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv</a>
Lvl6, but se the score required to get there. It's <i>extreme</i>, so maybe lvl6 is worse than, for example, lvl9 that is moderate. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins are cleansed from your soul, you will be illuminated by the Sun of Divine Grace, and you will join other souls, smiling and happy, upon the summit of this mountain. Before long you will know the joys of Paradise as you ascend to the ethereal realm of Heaven.

I tried to answer every question in the worst possible way, and I couldn't get past level eight. I might try taking it as brutus and seeing where that gets me.

If you want to get to a certain level, you have to answer the questions like a person in that level would answer... for level nine you have to be treacherous, eight - fraudulent, seven - violent, etc. Answering all the questions in the worst way will end you up in the level which has the most questions related to it. Answering select questions and being 'virtuous' in other questions will get you where you want to go.

Dante was Italian, right? That would explain why there's Roman mythology intertwined with his visions of the Inferno... but if the idea behind the Divine Comedy is that being a bad Christian will banish you to Hell, why do Medusa, the Minotaur, etc. have places in the Inferno? Isn't it self-contradictory to say that, if you don't believe in Christ alone and act like a good Christian, you'll be banished to a place filled with non-Christian things, thereby proving you were right to believe in non-Christian things?
Like, "I believe in Zeus, not Jesus. Therefore, I'm being sent to a place with Medusa and the Furies and other artifacts from Zeus' world, proving that I was right to believe in him in the first place..."

The single event in the <i>Comedy</i> that best illustrates the point is the encounter with the Roman poet Statius in Purgatory. Statius was inspired to convert to Christianity through reading Virgil's poetry, <b>even though Virgil himself was a nonbeliever and thus resides in Limbo.</b> Dante is making a point here that he's been making more subtly all through the <i>Comedy</i> - the philosophy and beliefs of the ancient Romans were imperfect, and fell short in many places, but they were valiant <i>attempts</i> to understand divine truth by translating it into terms that mortals could understand. And they actually still have a place in the <i>Comedy</i> as devices to help us along that journey toward understanding.
This is also symbolized by the fact that Virgil (who according to Dante is one of the great masters of poetry and philosophy) is Dante's guide through Hell and Purgatory. It is only after Dante has passed through these realms that he is ready to leave Virgil behind and join Beatrice (who according to Dante is the embodiment of God's majesty and represents theology rather than philosophy) in Paradise so he can really understand everything that goes on there. Virgil (ancient Roman philosophy and mythology) can get Dante part of the way there, but it's Beatrice (modern Christianity) that has to take him through the final steps to God's presence.
Make sense? The Romans weren't <i>wrong</i>, they just didn't have the whole picture.

You are one of the lucky ones! Because of your virtue and beliefs, you have escaped eternal punishment. You are sent to Purgatory!
Purgatory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility.

As the sins are cleansed from your soul, you will be illuminated by the Sun of Divine Grace, and you will join other souls, smiling and happy, upon the summit of this mountain.

Level 7 Violent Very Low
Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers Low
Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous Very Low
some of the questions WERE sketchy... I had to pull a Bill Clinton and ask myself to define "cheat"...
yeah, safe to say I was pretty close to level 2.

Honest answers placed me where I expected to be. "Virtuous Non-Believer" describes me pretty well.
It looks like I am on the verge of heresy too. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Coolness, Limbo is where all the neat people went that weren't baptized, not a bad place to be!

Betray your country as well - if you want to be in really deep poopy, plot against not only the divine but the temporal.

Ahh, I'm glad you ask. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> My final paper touched on the topic of why there were Roman mythological references in Paradise.
The single event in the <i>Comedy</i> that best illustrates the point is the encounter with the Roman poet Statius in Purgatory. Statius was inspired to convert to Christianity through reading Virgil's poetry, <b>even though Virgil himself was a nonbeliever and thus resides in Limbo.</b> Dante is making a point here that he's been making more subtly all through the <i>Comedy</i> - the philosophy and beliefs of the ancient Romans were imperfect, and fell short in many places, but they were valiant <i>attempts</i> to understand divine truth by translating it into terms that mortals could understand. And they actually still have a place in the <i>Comedy</i> as devices to help us along that journey toward understanding.
This is also symbolized by the fact that Virgil (who according to Dante is one of the great masters of poetry and philosophy) is Dante's guide through Hell and Purgatory. It is only after Dante has passed through these realms that he is ready to leave Virgil behind and join Beatrice (who according to Dante is the embodiment of God's majesty and represents theology rather than philosophy) in Paradise so he can really understand everything that goes on there. Virgil (ancient Roman philosophy and mythology) can get Dante part of the way there, but it's Beatrice (modern Christianity) that has to take him through the final steps to God's presence.
Make sense? The Romans weren't <i>wrong</i>, they just didn't have the whole picture.
