Why not take the quiz yourself?
Here is some info about Avery Dulles:
Avery Dulles' Models of the Church
It can be seen that a theology of Church has emerged that reflects definite changes in political, social, philosophical and religious thinking. An American Jesuit theologian, Avery Dulles, has tried to present some evaluation of prominent "models" in ecclesiology (Models of the Church, 2nd Edition, Dublin: Gill and MacMillan, 1988).
In his text Dulles outlines some of the historical and theological "images" of Church that had developed in the past two thousand years of its history.

Dulles has an interesting conversion story which can be read here
A good resource on Ecclesiology can be found here
Chris, I did not see you with that emphasis... interesting. I came up 'Mystical Communion', which was quite expected given by ressourcement theological leanings! It's a good quiz though, although some of the questions seem oddly phrased... Definitely worth a go, and then of course read the book, which is a classic in Ecclesiology.
here's my take:
Mystical Communion Model 100%
Sacrament model 100%
Servant Model 83%
Herald Model 83%
Institutional Model 17%
Nice summary of Dulles
