I have edited my previous post to include the actual description of my result.
@amnesia
Not being a Muslim myself I found some of the questions a little tricky to answer, but I believe my responses to be as accurate as I could make them.

I presumed that he was either a non-Christian or someone who is Christian in name only.

bio-data on Jesse Ventura (basically a former pro-Wrestler who became Governor of Minnesota from Jan '99 to Jan '03). apparently he's pretty liberal.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Ventura
In a Playboy interview, he said:
"Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business."

More beautiful words from Almighty God.
Holy Quran, Chapter 62 Verses 1-2 state:
Whatever is in the heavens and on earth, doth declare the Praises and Glory of Allah (God),- the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlettered an apostle from among themselves, to rehearse to them His Signs, to sanctify them, and to instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom,- although they had been, before, in manifest error.

From The Dhammapada (the sayings of the Buddha):
Choices
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.

here are my three rules of life.
Trust everyone, when someone lies then dont. This doesn't mean you should be weary.
Just say ok. The word ok is such a simple one. And it can mean different things depending on the tone.
And the most obvious to many people.
Dont do others what you wouldn't like if they did it to you.
So before doing something to someone, put yourself in their shoes.

I have almost certainly posted this before, but it really is one of my favourites.
From the Tao Te Ching:
The sage does not distinguish between himself and the world;
The needs of other people are as his own.
He is good to those who are good;
He is also good to those who are not good,
Thereby he is good.
He trusts those who are trustworthy;
He also trusts those who are not trustworthy,
Thereby he is trustworthy.
The sage lives in harmony with the world,
And his mind is the world's mind.
So he nurtures the worlds of others
As a mother does her children.

my own philosophy would be closest to:
"Believe whatever you want so long as it does not harm others".

31 - 45
Progressive Muslim
You are a progressive Muslim.
You are a devout believer in God, and Islam is your direct path to Him. You understand Islam mainly through your intellect. You probably interpret Islam historically and might believe that ijtihad should be reopened. You have probably gone through years of questioning to come to the understanding of Islam that you have now. You might receive criticism for what are perceived as your open views.
I got 45
