I might have scored higher if I new anything about CCM which I stay as far away from as possible.

Funny quiz.

edit: Subjective quiz, I realize, but did not appreciate that

1) No option for kicking out the term "pro-life" completely.
2) When mentioning clergy/teachers who are "important" most of them are of the evangelical camp meeting crowd. Not a follower at all. I'm more interested in people like John Shelby Spong, Marcus Borg, and Matthew Fox.

Certainly an interesting little quiz. Several questions really didn't have sufficient answers imho. What the hell

High CHQ. You are a pretty progressive, stylish, hipster-leaning Christian, even while you could easily feel at home in a decidedly un-hip non-denominational church. You are conservative on some issues and liberal on others, and sometimes you grow weary of trendy "alt-Christianity." But make no mistake: You are a Christian hipster to at least some degree.

I think it comes from hanging out with the likes of Brian McLaren at Girardian Conferences.

Your Christian Hipster Quotient:
39 / 120

Laggard. You hardly even register on the CHQ scale. But fear not: This is not necessarily a negative thing. Your Christian faith is refreshingly independent of zeitgeisty movements, styles, and reinventions.
