[quiz] How Open Minded Are You?
I’m 72% open minded, apparently..
`You are a very open minded person, but you’re also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. [etc..]’
So, hooray I s’pose. Because the internet always knows. [shrug] 🙂

These tests are always really good for showing the biases of the tester. Believing in my religion makes me less open minded?

I can see how that would work.. Believing in one religion closes your mind to the teachings of another..?

Not necessarily. I might believe in my religion because, having compared it to any other religion I have investigated, I have found it preferable for me. That doesn’t mean that I can’t or don’t learn from other religions. I have a friend who trained to be a Jesuit priest. As part of his training, he was exposed to Jewish teachings, and I know someone who is training as a Rabbi but also reads the Koran and learns from Hindu and Buddhist teachings.
