The morality test

Post by safron »

This is an actual morality test that I found on the internet by accident.

Interesting test. I don't think it reveals much about the moral standards of the person taking the test, but it reveals quite a bit about those of the test creators. They are evaluating morality primarily on responses to political lobby-group agenda items, rather than on more general moral principles.

I answered as honestly as I could, and I don't think their assessment resembled me at all. I don't fit well into pigeon holes.

There wasn't actually a single question that felt like a moral conundrum. It was a test of how well programmed a Rush Limbaugh listener you are.

I dont think that two political questions turns it into something political.


What would be the idealistic morality test?

Seemed to me like most of the 'morality' questions were in fact political hot buttons, and specifically US ones. Seemed quite alien from a UK perspective.

That was my sense of it exactly.
