Alcaray is right: "Fun, but weird". The questions are extremely simplistic (I hesitate to say fundamental...), but I guess they'd have to be to qualify as a quiz "for entertainment purposes" that would only take a few minutes to answer.
SDAI is right, too: it screens more for what a person is not than what they are.
What I get out of the questions is the remarkable core similarities shared among seemingly disparate belief systems. That would explain the overlap in the high end of everyone's scores.
And here are mine (only the first 8)
1. Liberal Quakers (100%)
2. Unitarian Universalism (98%)
3. Neo-Pagan (98%)
4. New Age (83%)
5. Mahayana Buddhism (81%)
6. Secular Humanism (79%)
7. Reform Judaism (79%)
8. Bahá'í Faith (76%)
[Notice that the 'movement' I identify myself with is Number 7 on the Hit Parade]
I'm glad to see such a good response from this - had a feeling you all would have some fun with it....

PS - If you have the results emailed to you (an option at the end which I elected), they come with links to pages at Beliefnet describing each of the religions... for the ones you're not familiar with. I'm going to use them to deliniate the difference in the two Buddhisms; discover what "new Thought" is (never heard of it; and find out what their definition of "New Age" is (a friend pronounces it to rhyme with 'sewage').
