Don't tell the bishop

Ambling aimlessly around the net, you might stumble across the following site, which tells you which Christian denomination you fit best with. My results were quite worrying......

Your Christian Traditions Selector results
· URL: http://SelectSmart.com/plus/select.php?url=denomtradition

(100%) 1: Anabaptist (Mennonite/Quaker etc.)

(94%) 2: Congregational/United Church of Christ

(90%) 3: Methodist/Wesleyan/Nazarene

(88%) 4: Presbyterian/Reformed

(86%) 5: Baptist (Reformed/Particular/Calvinistic)

(86%) 6: Pentecostal/Charismatic/Assemblies of God

(84%) 7: Anglican/Episcopal/Church of England

(83%) 8: Eastern Orthodox

(76%) 9: Seventh-Day Adventist

(68%) 10: Roman Catholic

(60%) 11: Church of Christ/Campbellite

(60%) 12: Lutheran

(51%) 13: Baptist (non-Calvinistic)/Plymouth Brethren/Fundamentalist

Not that I have anything against Mennonites, it's just a bit of a worry to find Anglicanism coming in 7th. However, the survey itself is pretty poor - one question on the relationship of church and state has a variety of options for how to keep them separate, or 'don't know', and various questions on the end-times and predestination that I know are deeply exciting to someone in the USA but don't really mean much to me.

If you want to narrow the survey to Protestant churches, you can go to
