Moral Foundations Test

Postby The Liberated Territories » Tue Nov 06, 2018 4:51 pm

Well someone posted this test on the RWDT discord and I decided to take it. I know how much NSG is fond of these random political tests, although this one is mostly a moral test with a political element to it. It's called the Moral Foundations Test. Most of the questions have to deal with different aspects of morality, and they can get pretty deep:

Here it is

The test is probably still a little Americentric (e.g. it still uses the traditional left-right spectrum, although it graciously gives libertarians options.) However, the moral questions seem mostly applicable to anyone (although still may be a tiny bit Western-based, I don't know.

These are my scores, in case anyone gives a damn, which underlines how much of an amoral narcissist I am:

So, what scores did you get?

If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long.

There are some dreadfully written questions in there. For example:

Question 5 of 36

Julie asks her friends not to fraternize with her ex-boyfriend Jake, since he cheated on her with other women. Three weeks later, Julie's friend Melissa is dating him.


There are two actions here. Which one am I rating? There are a bunch of others like this as well.


Also, a whole bunch of them missing information: for example, in the dog-meat one, how was the meat sourced? Were the children aware of what they were being served? Do the children have any previously-expressed preferences about what they eat?

Pretty similar to what I was expecting, although I'm surprised loyalty didn't beat out fairness and only barely beat out liberty.

I agree on that one. It was impossible to really gauge a feeling on some of the questions because of it.

The first question is unanswerable. There is no context to the question. It reads like a set of random statements and sounds like something that came out of Bladerunner. You see a turtle in the desert. The turtle is thirsty. Do you save it? It shows that people taking the test lack moral context and depth if accepted at face value.

It shows that we wanted to quickly get our results so we could post them on this thread.

Or perhaps the way you try to apply context is part of what impacts your score?
