I wish I knew. Every time I have taken it (about three times over the
past several years), I have had a considerably higher score on the
Theravada scale than on the Mahayana scale. That seems about right,
since I have quite a few reservations about some things in some forms of
Mahayana. That notwithstanding, I have never been able to identify the
specific questions that in Rupert Murdoch's mind would distinguish a
bicyclist from a passenger in The Grandiose Vehicle.
