Nice try, but... The choices were badly chosen in a couple of cases, especially on #11, where they don't even consider the possibility that the I Timothy strictures against women were indefensible in any context. The #13 choices on the context for reading the Bible and #15 on reader bias were oddly chosen as well.

I think the quiz is indeed a "fodder" as the author has clearly stated in his article. Whether poorly designed or not, I think the author has proven his point that people approach the Bible from different perspectives. Anyways, my suggestion for improvement would be to just present the scripture (e.g. 2 Tim 2:9ff) and let the reader decide the interpretation. From there, McKnight can then systemize the responses.

That quiz was rigged... notice you get to be "conservative" if in your picking and choosing you want to stone adulterers, commit genocide, execute queers and silence women... ...but, if you want to take Jesus literally, and love your enemies, turn the other cheek, be a peacemaker and practice nonjudgment, your one of those infamous "progressives"
