I used to be really into researching Calvinism and I kept asking my dad about it. I remember him telling me at one point that he personally is about .9 on each of the points. Later I understood what he meant.
Another time when we were talking, we came to something of an agreement that modern 5-point Calvinism pretty much captures a lot of good truths, but, he cautioned me, "hold it with an open hand". He would later go on to give me this same advice about Dispensationalism.
I would later go on to formally abandon the label "Calvinist".

Your dad is a good and wise man.
