About This Quiz

Are you heading to the good place or something a lot more painful? While your daily actions and choices make a huge difference, there is always the wild card of being contrite and changing your ways, even after engaging in some highly questionable behavior for years.

That being said, all we can do is offer some feedback on the path you are currently on. We'll definitely be able to give you a sense if you're heading in the right direction or if a major adjustment to your ways is required.

For example, if you're likely to tell a homeless person begging for money that they should "get a job" and you haven't donated a single penny or moment of your time to help a charitable organization in your life, things aren't looking good for you. This would be compounded if you take pleasure in other people's suffering and you've cheated on your significant other. As we've said, it's not like you have no chance of getting into heaven, but it's likely going to take a miracle to turn things around for you.

Let's head over to the confessional. Just relax, tell the truth, and we'll let you know the fate of your soul. No big deal.
