About This Quiz

The Old and New Testaments are filled with exceptional men who have answered God's calling and followed their own, unique path. In this quiz, we're going to match you up with the biblical personality that seems most likely to lead you to happily ever after.

Perhaps you're someone who has a dark past, and you consider yourself to be born again in many ways. If you have had an intense experience that helped you to see the light, it's starting to sound like Paul (formerly Saul) might just be the man for you. If you are zealous in your faith and doing missionary work sounds highly appealing to you, then it is even more probable that he's going to be your match.

If you're more drawn to a humble and reluctant leader who has some pretty phenomenal abilities, thanks to his close connection to God, Moses seems like a great fit for what you're looking for. If we tell you that your guy can be a bit moody, but that he has regular mystical experiences that guide his path, it's pretty clear that we're narrowing in on the biblical hero for you.

Your result is beginning to take form in that burning bush over there. Let's see what it has to say.
