My top three are orthodox Quaker, Eastern Orthodox, and Catholic, and my bottom three are secular humanism, New Thought, and Christian Science.

Each set of three have enough important, obvious differences from one another that it really goes to show why one shouldn't actually choose one's religion based on an online quiz.

Most people don't. In fact, this may only show that they are already belong to the faith that fits their ideology. Others may get results that don't fit their religion at all. I suppose it's possible that for someone who is searching it could make them interested in finding out more about the religion that fits their beliefs, but I don't know if this has ever happened.
This quiz is certainly not comprehensive enough to get an accurate results for a lot of people.

edit: using a quiz like this as a sole criterion to chose a faith would be similar to using one to decide how to vote. Both would be foolish.

I only know a little about Islam, but I didn't know much of the vocabulary so I skipped many questions:

Mutazila - Adherents are usually not accepted by Sunni scholars due to the Mu'tazili belief that human reason is more reliable than tradition. Because of this belief, Mu'tazilis tend to interpret passages of the Qur'an farther from their literal meanings than other Muslims, a practice frowned upon by many Sunni scholars. (100%)    

(note: the above makes a lot of sense due to it's emphasis on reason, and it sounds a lot like Sufism)

Shia - In contrast to other schools of thought, Shia Islam holds that Muhammad's family, the Ahl al-Bayt (the People of the House), and certain individuals among his descendants, who are known as Imams, have special spiritual and political authority over the community. (69%)    

Ashari - The school holds that human reason in and by itself was not capable of establishing with absolute certainty any truth-claim with respect to morality, the physical world, or metaphysical ideas. (37%)    

Salafi - A follower of a Sunni Islam. The principal tenet of Salafism is that Islam was perfect and complete during the days of Muhammad and his Sahaba, but that undesirable innovations have been added over the later centuries due to materialist and cultural influences. (0%)

edit Q2 I strongly reject the Trinity which  explains my results... perhaps

Q2 "three distinct Persons" the word distinct makes it sound like "God" has something like a personality disorder (in which a person has distinct personalities).

The Trinity is why I could never call myself a Christian.
Also I know a lot about Quakerism, but I don't know if Orthodox Quakers believe in the Trinity.

DID, despite its former name, isn't a personality disorder.

Whatever words you use it is difficult (if not impossible), to say that God is one and has three distinct personalities (even if you don't call this a disorder), which really makes no sense, given the definition of God (which has also unfortunately become ambiguous over time).
