About This Quiz
Every Catholic in the world knows what a nun is, what they do and how they serve. Now the question in some of our minds is, could we actually be a good fit for the nunnery? Maybe this personality quiz will help you assess yourself, to see if you have what it truly, deeply and honestly takes.
We all know that to be of service to fellow humans is a huge enough duty for one person to bear. But if we get trained collectively, then get assigned to help people who desperately need help, then we could actually have a chance to do something good in this sometimes crazy world.Â
But why be a nun? It's the same question that men of cloth receive before taking their vows in front of the Lord: why be a priest? These questions need not be asked of someone who wants to dedicate his or her life to be of service to the world, their country or even their community. No matter who a nun or priest helps, the fact that they are there to help is big enough of a responsibility - and we should all thank them for their service.
Do you want to test if you have what it takes, then, to be a nun? Try this personality quiz, and maybe it could give you a clue about your life. Have faith!
