Okay, I'll do my best not to break (or terribly bend) any of the rules here.
Several years ago I read in the newspaper about a religion quiz. A group of ministers from different faiths took it - anonymously - and their quiz results stated that their beliefs more closely matched faiths other than the ones they professed. Good thing they were anonymous!
The woman who administered the test was proud to state that she got 100% (because she knew the "right answers"), but I believe that may have had more to do with her responding with what she'd been taught, rather than what she believed.
It's only 20 questions (actually 40, if you consider that each question asks you to rate it's priority: high/medium/low.
When I took it yesterday, it ranked the faith I was raised in down at #8 (but with 86% compatibility to my current beliefs).
I printed off my results and showed it to one of my managers: "I took that religion test I was telling you about. Guess how I scored ... I'm [faith]." It was the religion she practices. She started laughing. "Take this to your [minister] and tell him to sign me up. I wanna join the club!" She couldn't stop laughing.
The site states: Even if YOU don't know what faith you are, Belief-O-Matic knows. Answer 20 questions about your concept of God, the afterlife, human nature, and more, and Belief-O-Matic will tell you what religion (if any) you practice ... or ought to consider practicing. Warning: Belief-O-Matic assumes no legal liability for the ultimate fate of your soul.

One friend e-mailed back to me his results: the religion he was raised in was #2 with 93% compatibility, while another friend replied that the results (after reading about the faith she scored highest in) were "basically true."
Interesting: I took it again just an hour ago, and the results were similar: 1-3 were the same but jumbled, 4 & 5 were switched, 6 & 7 were switched, and 8 - 11 were also the same but jumbled. The bottom five were the same, though the last one (#27) dropped from 18% compatibility to 9%.
Again, let's keep this within the rules (so it doesn't get pulled).

. Actually, I kind of wondered if it would though, as some of the questions didn't quite match up to LDS beliefs. Like some of the others have stated I felt like I had to choose answers that were a little "off".
