Ara. The results seem to align a bit with the poll we had some time ago regarding which faction we liked the most. Also, I wager some people at least noticed that there were 4 distinct kinds of questions.

I was not able to see that, though I did suspect that the survey was testing for shrine alignment. Other possibilities that crossed my mind were that it was somehow Haruhi-related - hence the questions about ESP, alien life forms, etc. - or that the survey responses didn't matter at all, and it was an eon8-ish thing to see how people respond to ambiguity or something.

What ruled the latter two out for me, and clinched the first, was the comment about how this was supposed to settle a debate about the community. That was the real tip-off. :justasplanned:

e: Looking over the questions again, I'm seeing some major pro-Myouren bias in this survey :v

I think I found which answers are mine (35) by looking at the time and the first few questions. It is interesting to see which ones got lots of "not sure" responses.

And I'm still not sure which group I ended up in, though I'm certain it wasn't hall of dreams.

I was reminded of Miko when I saw #14 in the survey (Religion has done more for social stability than governments.) since Miko was all about using Buddhism as a political tool. I feel kind of silly for not realizing that it was for something like this. :V

I think my answers are row #3 in the spreadsheet, given that I took it fairly early and I hit Not Sure on practically everything and never chose anything strongly (or strongle).
My results (+ for agree, - for disagree)
Moriya: +-++
Hakurei: -++++
Myouren: +-++-
Taoism: --+++
I think I ended up on the side of Hakurei Shrine, although I'd say I prefer the Taoists a lot more. :L

Just to clear something up: results were gauged not just by whether or not someone agreed with a question, but whether they disagreed, too. I would not be surprised if questions aligned more heavily with one or more temples, despite a conscious effort to balance. And some questions might read as one temple to one person but another temple to another. Either way, that still leaves the choice to agree or disagree, and both counted towards how the response was aligned. That said, a greater number of questions aligned towards one or more temples probably did have some influence on results.

Yeah, I just realized that it's not all agreement that affects alignment since agreeing to #38a (Humanity is too industrialized) would directly contradict Moriya Shrine ideals.

How exactly should we go about checking our personal alignments?

Fun fact: the only answer to #3 was "strongly disagree". The question would be fine if it had been "do you think there is intelligent life", not "do you think that it is a mathematical certainty", which from what I understand is false outright.

#52 reporting.

That's how I found it anyway. Assuming you posted here just after submitting it, you should be able to use the time of the post to get a general idea, though you'll have to take time zones or something into consideration. Then just see which answers seem like yours. :V For example, so few people disagreed with number 3, but I knew I chose "strongly disagree," so that made it easy for me to find mine. (And yeah, taking the question literally, I think that is the definite "right answer." Rephrased like BT said, my answer would have been different.)

Oh god "(dis)agree" stopped looking like a word to my brain.
Oh man, I know what you mean. Starts to sound weird too if you say it to yourself.

#3 was, as stated, one of the non-counting questions thrown in there to muddy the waters. It was not figured in with the results, so it didn't matter what was answered for that one.

Ammy, could you expand a little more on how each question contributed to a person's temple alignment (like I don't know whether agreeing or disagreeing with a certain topic in a category would make me more Buddhist/Taoist)?

Edit:
Basically I'm asking how you took the responses and the categorized questions to arrive at the results.

For self-reference, I'm #40.

I took 'strongly __" as two strikes for/against a temple, with agree/disagree being one strike.

Myouren-8
Hakurei-3
Moriya-0
Miko & Company-0

I'm surprised there were no negatives, although I guess my counting could be off.

Ammy, could you expand a little more on how each question contributed to a person's temple alignment (like I don't know whether agreeing or disagreeing with a certain topic in a category would make me more Buddhist/Taoist)?

Sure. One example is #17, which states that sometimes violently overthrowing a government is justified. Strength of agreement with this one was Moriya, with strength of disagreement would be Myouren, while simple disgreement would be Hakurei. In this case, the majority of answers leaned towards fairly strong agreement, so the response to #17 was put under Moriya.

Again, to which temple agreement or disagreement with a statement aligned was a subjective measure, based on my understanding of canon. Your mileage may vary.

Stripping away the Touhou-themed factions, the results are rather pleasing. The more optimistic and idealistic egalitarian side clearly wins out over the more pessimistic and negative side based on the use of force.
