The Homeopathy Online Quiz

                    by Chris Kurz


THIS QUIZ consists of two parts. Questions 1 through 3 should appeal to old Organon junkies. These are meant to make you go back and hunt through the "bible" of homeopathy, maybe even read an aphorism or two. Questions 4 through 13 are geared towards sharpening your ability to look up rubrics in the repertory. If you have some experience under your belt, you should be able to recognize the remedies without referring to a repertory. (The second part was originally formulated by David Warkentin and culled from HomeoNet.) Quiz answers can be found following the questions below. Good luck!
