Poll/Quiz: How Much Do You Know About Anabaptists?

[R7ehr]

I got a failing grade. Then again that’s why I’m here - to learn.
Just give me the dunce cap and set me in the corner of the classroom.

18/25 shameful, considering how much i’ve read over time. all familiar, tho!
multiple choice would have gone better. i think.

i suspect there are some 25/25, not fessing up.

That’s pretty good, not shameful.

[QuietlyListening]

I see only numbers and blank spaces- no questions or any other printing in the poll

You are too kind.
It made me think more about multiple choice questions. As i recall, these were pretty exotic when i was in school.
To this day, they don’t “feel like” real quizzes/tests! More like games. i found some history:

What is the history of multiple-choice exams? What is its impact on education?

Multiple Choice and its cousin, True/False:

.. By the 1930s, multiple-choice tests and other right/wrong binary questions like true-false questions, became widely used in United States schools ( Ramirez, 2013 ). ..

my schools must not have been on the cutting edge of these methods. teachers gave us these like special treats.
in olden days, pain was normal. “no pain, no gain.”

I watched this video several days ago and didn't track my answers exactly.

The only thing I remember was that I knew most of the answers, but I got the mode of baptism question wrong. For some reason, I thought most conservative Mennonites practiced sprinkling, not pouring.

You are not alone. Most people who favor immersion (brethren and Anabaptist renewal groups) will say that Mennonites and Amish practice sprinkling. I'm never quite sure if they simply are not familiar with the "pouring doctrine" or the pouring term, or if they are knowingly using the term as a slight against the Amish and Mennonites. The Mennonites I know are very much opposed to "sprinkling" and feel it doesn't meet the grade, just like immersionists feel that pouring does not meet the grade.

I'm not accusing you of this at all since I don't expect those from a non-Anabaptist tradition to understand these technicalities at all.
