How Egalitarian / Complementarian Are You?

I’ve devised this simple system (it's actually more complicated than it probably should be but "meh") to gauge where you fall. The first 3 sections can score from -3 to 3 each, the former being “very confident that the Egalitarian interpretation” is correct and the latter being “very confident that the Complementarian position is correct. “Zero” is completely neutral or so unsure you can’t pick a side in the least. Also, the last section counts less and can only range from -1 to 1 each. You are allowed to go in “.5” increments. Let me know your score!

Maximum Egalitarian score: -36
Maximum Complementarian score: 36
"Mr. and Mrs. Indecisiveness" score: 0

FOUNDATIONAL TEXTS (-3 to 3)
Genesis 1-3 → -3
Gal 3:28 → -1.5
1 Corinthians 7 → -1

MARRIAGE (-3 to 3)
Ephesians 5:21-33 → 2
Colossians 3:18-19 → 0
1 Peter 3:1-7 → 1
Titus 2:3-5 → -2

MINISTRY (-3 to 3)
1 Corinthians 11:3-15 → -0.5
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 → -2
1 Timothy 2:9-15 → -1

MISCELLANEOUS (-1 to 1)
Aquila and Priscilla (Acts 18:24-26)→ -1
Deborah and Barak (Judg. 4:4-10)→ -0.5
Phoebe, who is called a “deacon” (Rom. 16:1) → -1
Junia, who is called an “apostle” (Rom. 16:7) → -1
Proverbs 31 → -0.5
Huldah (2 Ki. 22:11-20) → -0.5

Post your score as "Wayne Grudem (#)" [he's a complementarian]

or "Gordon Fee (#)" [he's an egalitarian]

Sam's score --> Gordon Fee (-12.5)
