Dante Inferno's Test
I've taken this test several times, each time I believe I end up in the same place: the seven-walled castle of limbo, under god's shadow. If you aren't familiar with Dante, he kind-of wrote the popular image of hell.
First Level of Hell - Limbo
Charon ushers you across the river Acheron, and you find yourself upon the brink of grief's abysmal valley. You are in Limbo, a place of sorrow without torment. You encounter a seven-walled castle, and within those walls you find rolling fresh meadows illuminated by the light of reason, whereabout many shades dwell. These are the virtuous pagans, the great philosophers and authors, unbaptised children, and others unfit to enter the kingdom of heaven. You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle. There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad.
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Take the Dante's" Inferno Hell Test
I remember taking this test earlier and I remember having a higher relationship with the Violent. However it seems that I am more lustful than wrathful. How interesting, I suppose that if I repented of my violent and lustful actions I would reach purgatory and follow the path that would purge my soul of sin and allow for my ascention Heaven-ward. I tell you how that works out...
At any rate, I'll see you all in Hell (or Limbo rather).
