I dont really think the framing of the quiz was realistic ... some of those questions forced me to choose between options were none of them really are my current thinking or opinion but based on the choices ...this is who I turned out to be ...very interesting and a great honour! I am wondering how many fathers there are to choose between.

Not to mention some 'issues' with their definition of "Church Father". While Origen is certainly seen as a prolific writer and respected resource for early Church history, he most certainly is NOT seen as a "Church Father" by many churches. And yes, these "quizzes" of necessity try to "force" you into a specific category, because they only have so many categories to fit you into!
