Amazingly accurate! St. Augustine means so much to me and is one of my favorite saints!

I guess I need to get out my rosary and start praying to St. Augustine! The description definitely seems to fit!

It is amazing what accurate is the quiz. In effect I use to pray Saint Ignacio de Loyola Spiritual Excercises.

The path of intellect, I think matches me quite well, although I find that devotion is a good way to ground myself. I do find that my intellect is often the gate to my heart, and that the microphone from my heart is my intellect. Still, I know that I am sensitive. However...I'm a woman. How do I find a place for a woman interested and bent this way?

This was awesome. I am Devotional, yet according to all the placement questions I receive a big fat 0% & unwanted by any one. I suppose something will someday and I will be where I need to be:). thank you.

Hi, Rocio: Glad you found the quiz helpful. Here is some insight on what is meant by ascetism from an article on ascetism and mysticism by Rosemary R. Reigle:
Within the Catholic tradition, those who undertake the process of spiritual transformation follow two principal traditions, asceticism and mysticism. Asceticism, as exampled in the life of St. Ignatius Loyola, is the renunciation of physical pleasures as a means of spiritual growth. Mystics, like St. Catherine of Siena, seek to maintain the mystical experience through the practice of asceticism. The paths are intertwined, and both contribute to the life of the Church.

Hmmm, Ignatian Ascetism, not sure exactly of the meaning of Ascetism, but The Suscipe is my favorite prayer.

Provided an accurate identification even though I couldn't specifically articulate it. I am excited to explore and learn more.

Michelle - Thanks for taking the quiz. We have a couple of items on the VISION site about discernment and scripture:

Well my type 'Path Of Devotion' is fairly accurate, but I'd like to learn more of what it means to fully understand ME and what God's scriptures say.

I took the find your spirituallity quiz. I knew I was Franciscan, and showing that I'm Augustinian Spirituallity doesn't surprise me. If it said Dominican, that would really surprise me. I wondered if I was. Great Quiz. Their are some religious communities here in the U.S. that interest me. Thanks again.

I think that was a fairly accurate deduction. I might follow up on the suggested spirituality type and see where it leads me.
