I expect most of my time in the hereafter to be spent on:

Discovering latent talents within myself

Educating myself about history, religion, social sciences, etc.

Fishing and golf

Developing my body to its maximum health and athletic potential

Assisting the needy who are still suffering in life

Atoning for my past

None of the above

You've just been asked to spend the next 30 days working on a project. Which would you choose?

Building a house with 5 other people

Tutoring an illiterate child, one-on-one, teaching him/her to read

Being the creative director of a 10-person team launching an advertising campaign for an exciting new luxury car

Researching and writing a book about a foreign land

Spreading the word of God to a remote, primitive culture

I don't want to work on any projects, I just want to go fishing

Same question, different projects. Which would you choose?

Working with a group of 200 engineers and designers, creating a revolutionary vehicle that will make the automobile obsolete

Working in a large game preserve, taking care of rare species of animals in their natural habitat

Being the member of a pit crew on a successful race car team

Leading bicycle tours of 10-20 adults through scenic rural areas and mountain roads

Cleaning large office buildings after the workers have gone home at night, using the latest in modern janitorial supplies and equipment

Producing a record for a popular recording artist

Couldn't I just watch television instead?

You've now been given a 3 week vacation. Which would you choose?

Being alone on a tropical island with an attractive member of the opposite sex

Being alone on a tropical island with an attractive member of the same sex

A week of skiing, a week of white-water rafting and hiking, followed by a week of scuba diving

Taking a leisurely cruise on a ship, stopping at many ports around the world

Shopping in New York, Paris, and Beverly Hills

Backpacking in the woods, far away from everything, with 3 or 4 close friends

Visiting a country I've never been to before, to learn about their culture

One more time. You've now come back from your vacation. Which project would you choose.

Working at a computer with a team of 3 others, creating an exciting new programming language

Working independently, but as part of a larger research project, gathering data about human behavior through interviews with people

Being the Chief Financial Officer of a large corporation, finding ways to cut costs and make the company more profitable

Being a cab driver in a small tourist town

Working as a physical therapist and athletic trainer for a professional sports team

Which statement best describes the type of live you've had?

A pretty ordinary life with fairly normal friends and family. I have not really participated in a lot of dangerous, unusual or exciting activities and I have not travelled all that much. I never experienced fame or wealth.

I've never been rich or famous, but I've been fortunate enough to have had some experiences and friends that have made me feel very grateful. My life has probably been better than most.

I've had to endure a lot of hardship and heartache in life. I've had some pleasures, of course, but I've been forced to deal with greater burdens than what most people have to encounter. I've spent a lot of time reflecting on how unfair life is.

I've had a much wider range of experiences than most people will ever know. I've traveled a lot and done a lot of wonderful and exciting things, but I've also had to endure some pretty serious heartaches and disappointments.

I really can't complain. Most people would love to have had the kind of life I've had. It's been one big amusement park ride.

My life has been very, very strange. You wouldn't beleive me if I told you, so don't get me started.

On the outside, I've gotten a lot of what I've wanted from life, but I've still been pretty much lonely and miserable.

What kind of movies do you like best?

Romantic comedies

An intense, engrossing drama, with great plot twists and strong character development

Whatever the latest hit film is that's playing

A serious love story that makes me cry

A fantasy movie about a time and place far different from the world I live in

Big budget action-adventure movies

Any of the above, depending on my mood

None of the above, I don't like movies

Which statement best describes your attitudes about working with others?

I prefer working with others in small to medium sized groups.

I'd just as soon be part of a large group without any special attention being given to my accomplishments.

I'm very self-directed and prefer to work alone with minimal interference from others.

The best situation is one in which there is one other person with whom I can have a special working relationship.

I prefer to lead, not follow. I enjoy taking on responsibility and directing others towards a common goal.

I'd prefer not to have a lot of responsibility and headaches. I work best under the direction of someone who clearly defines my duties for me and provides guidance and feedback when I need it.

I prefer not to work.

Which statement best describes your attitude about religion?

I belong to a particular faith, and attend services regularly, but I am tolerant of other faiths

I am extremely loyal to my faith and I am concerned that those who do not believe as I do have gone astray or may be in moral/spiritual danger

I am a spiritual person, but do not openly subscribe to any particular religious faith

I believe that a person's religious practices are less important than the way he/she conducts his/her life

It's difficult to pin me down on this topic because my views sometimes fluctuate

I'm taking a "wait-and-see" attitude

I am not really a religious or overly spiritual person, and I sometimes mistrust those who claim to be

With respect to religion, which statement best describes the afterlife you would feel most comfortable with?

One in which all members work towards the greater glory of God, in whatever way He chooses for us. It is not for us to decide our own destiny based on our limited wisdom.

One in which we are closely guided by beings more educated and spiritually enlightened than ourselves, in order to further our own spiritual development, in cooperation with God's plan for us.

One that is not a great deal different from life on earth. I will still get mad, cry, be selfish sometimes, and make mistakes. I think it is still important to have free will and the opportunity to make discoveries through trial-and-error. I'm only human.

One in which we are given the opportunity to go back and live another life, after giving careful consideration to the one we just lived. The hereafter is not a destination, it is only a resting place.

I don't believe in any kind of afterlife.

Booze, broads and Harleys- anything goes!

None of the above

When I arrive in the hereafter, I would like to be greeted by people I knew who have passed away.

What special skills or qualities do you have that are important for you to be able to use here?

Are there any special concerns/questions you have before we assign a counselor to help you with planning for your future in the hereafter?

They say you can't take it with you, but if you could bring one thing with you into the afterlife, what would it be and why?

Is there anything else about you that you feel is important for us to know before we integrate you into the social structure of the afterlife?
