You answered 32 of 32 questions correctly for a total score of 100%.
Unorthodox Jew (Raised Orthodox, currently non-denominational) but I guessed on one, so I'll be okay with 31.
I found the test to be fairly easy on nearly all but one (John Edwards) and as a Friday (our version of Sunday) school teacher in my free time, it frightens me that people have such low levels of biblical illiteracy.
I admit it's a bit unfair of me because I actually studied the bible in depth. Because the classes fit in so nicely with my schedule (I was doing an intensive double major and working, I needed classes which fit very specific times for electives) I have a third major in Jewish studies, with one concentration in what Christians called the Old Testament. I can read biblical Hebrew and understand it, know a bit of Aramaic.
For me, it's not just a Holy Book, it's the story of my people. It's my culture and it's important to me to hear about the mythos of my people as community building and sharing a collective experience. So it's a bit different for non-Christians.
