>>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.<<

OK. What questions would you ask to distinguish between someone who is  Thera 
or Mahayana?
