Heresy tests have been around in various forms for hundreds of years. I'm glad to see they've gotten more fun.

And what are all these heresies ?
http://www.carm.org/heresy.htm
You scored better than me, but I did have to look up the heresies on which I scored 33%, and I now think I must've messed up understanding the questions.
Modalism is probably the most common theological error concerning the nature of God. It is a denial of the Trinity which states that God is a single person who, throughout biblical history, has revealed Himself in three modes, or forms.
Apollinarianism denies the proper humanity of Christ. In other words, though Jesus was a man, He did not have a human mind but that the mind of Christ was solely divine.
Nestorianism is the error that Jesus is two distinct persons.
Monophysitism is an error concerning the nature of Christ that asserts Jesus had only one nature, not two
Luke 15
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Yeshua continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.
13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 "When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired men.' 20 So he got up and went to his father.
"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21 "The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.
25 "Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'
28 "The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'
31 " 'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' "
Matthew 13
The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower:
19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
***
Get back to the roots!
Mmmmm. No. (And if a Catholic should happen to levy the charge, point them to their Catechism so that they may learn what their Church actually teaches.)
Wounds to unity
817 In fact, "in this one and only Church of God from its very beginnings there arose certain rifts, which the Apostle strongly censures as damnable. But in subsequent centuries much more serious dissensions appeared and large communities became separated from full communion with the Catholic Church - for which, often enough, men of both sides were to blame."
*****
818 "However, one cannot charge with the sin of the separation those who at present are born into these communities [that resulted from such separation] and in them are brought up in the faith of Christ, and the Catholic Church accepts them with respect and affection as brothers . . . . All who have been justified by faith in Baptism are incorporated into Christ; they therefore have a right to be called Christians, and with good reason are accepted as brothers in the Lord by the children of the Catholic Church."
Woo Hoo! Chalcedon compliant!
You scored as Chalcedon compliant.
I had the biggest problem with this statement:
God's grace is an aid to help people come to Him.
So, does "an aid" mean it's partially helpful but not all we need? The Apostle says faith is a gift from God, not the result of anything we do.
But it didn't seem right to totally disagree since without His "aid" we couldn't come to God.

Chalcedon compliant 100%
I agree, there were a few over my head.
67% Chalcedonian compliant, so I'm not a heretic.
My closest others were 50% Monophysite, and 50% Nestorian.
I know what the Monophysites believe, but of the Nestorians I know only their name.
It would be nice if there were an "I don't know" button on the quiz.

Whatever Nestorianism is... I'll have to look that up.
Nice graph! It looks like you've learned well. Congratulations!
100% Chalcedon compliant (woohoo!), 67% Monophysitism (what did it mean by "natures" anyway?), and 33% Modalism (what? where?)
I agree with others about confusing wording. I wish it said which ones supported what heresy so we could figure out what the quiz author was getting at.
Being Protestant, I had to look up "Eucharist" :-)

I especially liked her clear answers when I asked her why she picked the choices she did on the person/nature questions and her answers aimed to show Donatist tendencies.
Here you go.... You can find out more about Nestorianism and all the other heresies here:

LOL! Thank you Internet!
D'oh! I better do some brushing up so I can teach my 10 year old daughter to answer questions like these.

I'm shocked. If I'm not a heretic, no one is. ;)
