Not all Christians are a-holes, and not all a-holes are Christians. But lots of folks, Christian or not, could stand to benefit from a little bit of Christ-like wisdom in their lives. Not sure if you’re one of those who could use a little de-a-hole-ification? Take this quick survey to find out!
Oh, and if you already identify as a Christian, and you want to make sure you’re not one of “Those Christians,” CLICK HERE to take a quick “Those Christians” test as well.

Here’s a little help if you’re still not sure about the results of our quiz: If you didn’t answer “yes” to at least one of the above, take it again. The good news is, you’re in good company. We all are a-holes at one time or another. We’re not perfect; we’d all score “needs improvement” on life’s scorecard.
Unfortunately the things Jesus has to teach aren’t a one-and-done kind of deal. There’ no magic anti-a-hole potion. You’ll still screw it up. A lot. We all do. But we’ve each got a lifetime to try and get it right. The least we can do – for ourselves and one another – is give it an honest effort.
