I am fairly religious although I rarely blather about it in this medium. And yeah, I suppose "absolutist" fits. Self-control and asceticism are wonderful ideals to me, I'm just such a weak pudgy bastard that I can't manage them generally, so I tend not to criticize others.

It's odd how revealing that thing was.

Yeah, I've occasionally been very surprised by how few questions it takes to get a strong overall picture of my personality.

The Briggs Meyer test is a prime example of this.

religious? quite a surprise to me. But I expect you have more personally-derived beliefs, rather than received? If you are not interested in answering that sort of question, I understand.

Re: "I'm a weak pudgy bastard..." I dunno, I've always felt that a moral ideal should be at least theoretically realizable by mammals... absolutism equals defeatism. But I see the value in having a high standard.
