Morals

[Paul V]

I found this test and I was curious to see if INTJs were as moral as I was (and I'm disgustingly ethical. Really).

My Results

Your score puts you in the highest category of social reasoning. You will see ethical and moral values as important to the needs of society and will appeal to basic rights or values. You might say "Honesty is a standard which everyone should accept" or "Life is sacred."

Conformity to ethical norms is important to you, in terms of a responsibility, obligation or commitment for all individuals, although you may be willing to consider exceptions in some particular circumstances. You are likely to suggest that with entitlement or privilege comes responsibility.

You will appeal to considerations of responsible character or integrity in others, preferring a consistent or standard practice of behaviour in order to avoid damage to social institutions such as the legal system.

However, you will want to see an adjusted case-by-case application of standards for the sake of fairness to all people. Lastly, you are very likely to appeal to standards of individual or personal conscience, as well as of honour, dignity or integrity.
Background

Scores on the questionnaire form a scale that tracks the development of reasoning from childhood through to adulthood about social, ethical and moral issues. The original research using this questionnaire was conducted in the United States by Kohlberg and was followed up by John Gibbs, Karen Basinger and Dick Fuller.

Most children make decisions based on the influence of power and authority figures, progressing through an emphasis upon exchange relationships with others, then on to mutual and social expectations.

Some people progress to a level where they base their moral reasoning on universal values. Others become fixed at earlier stages depending upon circumstances. But recent research has suggested that it is possible to change the way you reason about your social responsibilities

Hmm... interesting as my score was: 37 out of 44

Your score puts you in the mature category of social reasoning and the majority of people will have scores in this range. Thinking here transcends the practicalities of one's preferences and exchanges to an emphasis upon social feeling, caring and conduct.

You take into account the consequences of actions for other people, whether for benefit or harm, as a consideration in its own right for deciding how one should act towards others. You emphasise relationships, thinking how you might feel if you were on the receiving end. Empathy is important, as well as compassion.

You are likely to expect others to conform to normally expected conduct, reflecting on "common decency" and will think of the chaos caused by laws being broken. You will value, love and respect others, and appreciate some higher values, as well as speaking of the benefits of a clean conscience or pride.

I noticed most people are scoring above 35. I think I remember learning about this in my Psych 101 or something. What levels do you all think most people functioning?

Level 1 (Pre-Conventional)
1. Obedience and punishment orientation (How can I avoid punishment?)
2. Self-interest orientation (What's in it for me?)

Level 2 (Conventional)
3. Interpersonal accord and conformity (The good boy/good girl attitude)
4. Authority and social-order maintaining orientation (Law and order morality)

Level 3 (Post-Conventional)
5. Social contract orientation
6. Universal ethical principles (Principled conscience)

[cielo market]

Yeah, I'm not surprised that so many are scoring so high. Aren't INTJs known for having a high concern for fairness because of our obsession with reason??

6. Universal ethical principles (Principled conscience)


I think most people function at a level between 3 and 4. Other than people who study some form of ethical philosophy, the idea of universal ethical principles is generally viewed as totalitarian rather than humanitarian. My reasoning for this is on the basis of the modes of social organization which are predominant in the world. Democracy as an ideal reflects a disdain for universal ethical principles as what is right is implemented based on what the majority believes. Certainly, most democracies have limits through a constitution but generally the limits are usurped over time. The collective will which can be anything tends to usurp the universal ethical principles that are intended to be a part of a constitution.

I took the test, but none of the explanations really reflected what I feel the reasoning for universal ethical principles is. Mostly because I do not agree with the Socratic/Platonic routing of morality in obligation, which was reflected in most of the explanations that were not based purely on reciprocity. But I scored a 40/44.

Average extraversion
People with average extraversion scores tend not to crave the company of others quite as much as people with high extraversion scores. But they also don't necessarily feel happiest on their own like people with low extraversion scores. They are somewhere in between. Sometimes they enjoy the stimulation of events like parties, but they are also more able to make their own entertainment.


Low agreeableness
People with low agreeableness scores are often fairly uncompromising. They refuse to be sentimental about other people and won't tolerate fools gladly. These people speak their mind and aren't afraid of offending people with their straight talking.


High conscientiousness
People with high conscientiousness scores like to do things properly. When they say they'll do something, they do it. They have a keen attention to detail and like things to be ordered and in their place. They like organisation and are prepared for every eventuality. They have a strong sense of responsibility.


High emotional stability
People with high emotional stability scores tend to have a fairly constant experience of life. Although they have ups and downs, they rarely suffer from an 'emotional rollercoaster' of rapid mood swings. They take life in their stride and are unflappable. They are more relaxed, slow to take offence and don't worry too much about little things.


High intellectualism
People with high intellectualism scores are interested the abstract. They like thinking about things they can't see and have creative imaginations, able to dream up whole new worlds. They like to feel they understand things and will probe deeply into a subject to get as good an insight as possible.


High emotional intelligence
People with high emotional intelligence scores see themselves as emotionally well balanced. They believe they are good at empathising with other people and have a good insight into their own emotional needs, drives and reactions. High scorers see themselves as well balanced and largely in control of their own emotions. They also tend to feel confident in interacting with people and believe they are able to connect with and influence others by using their emotional understanding.

Meaning that I just happen to agree with the author on what constitutes right and wrong in most cases. However, I can find no objective basis for morality. Right and wrong is a point of view, consensus on which increases societal efficiency.

With all due respect, this test is one of the silliest ventures I've seen. Take Kholberg's theory - flawed as it is - wrap it up in a populist test that takes less than 10 minutes to complete, and then spit out numerical results for how "moral" you are.

It was rather silly, yes. Hm. I wonder if morality can be objectively measured? I think not, but I'm not entirely sure.

[Rei]

You scored 37 out of a total of 44.
Moral is a generally accepted idea of what is good.

If what you think is not what is generally accepted, it is not moral, it is your personal belief. I don't see why moral is objective.

I think this test is not bad. It takes into consideration how much the person believe in, and understand the importance their morals... not JUST how moral they are.
They ask you the reason for thinking each 'value' is important to see how clearly you see the reason for the need for such a value to be held, and are not holding such a value because you don't want to feel guilty, or you're told to, or you are told it is 'good'.

[Puffi]

I got 36/44.

It doesn't seem like a very good test. It ignored some of my actual views so I just had to pick something. I'm quite surprised Kohlberg actually made this. It's hard for me to imagine anyone scoring below 30 in this, even though there should be a lot of people at that second stage if you believe the original test. Especially because younger people tend to take these online tests more, and morality seems to "mature" to your late thirties.

The generally accepted view of good doesn't mean it's moral. People who score high at least in the original Kohlberg test should realize this.

I think if you get a bunch of early teens to do this quiz you'd get some very different results than that. I'm quite a lot younger than late thirties, but I believe I'm a whole lot more morally mature (more mature in general) than some people in their late thirties since I think I see the cause and effect of things a lot clearer than most people.
I also don't think most kids take THESE particular online tests. Most kids probably wouldn't be sufficiently interested in the results of this test.

But they are also more likely to seek a compromise or avoid offending others than people with low agreeableness scores. They are somewhere in between. They can engage positively with others and put people at their ease, but they may be more likely to speak their mind, even at the risk of offending someone.

Average conscientiousness
People with average conscientiousness scores have a sense of responsibility and like to get the job done. However, they might concentrate more on the big picture and less on the details than people with high conscientiousness scores.

Average emotional stability
People with average emotional stability scores are more likely to have mood swings than people with high emotional stability scores. But they tend to have a less varied emotional life than people with low emotional stability scores. They are somewhere in between. They can be fairly relaxed and predictable, but may occasionally have strong emotional reactions to events.

Your favourite type of art is Cubism.

In the personality profile you had a high intellectualism score, which suggests you like to think about abstract ideas and have a creative imagination.

Low extraversion

People with low extraversion scores tend to be happier with their own company. They may have a small number of close friends rather than a wide circle of acquaintances. Less keen on going to wild parties and meeting people, they are more able to make their own entertainment and don’t seek as much external stimulation.

Average agreeableness

People with average agreeableness scores tend not to be as keen to understand other people's feelings as people with high agreeableness scores.

People with average emotional intelligence scores have a reasonably good emotional insight, but are only human. They believe they are relatively good at empathising with other people, though like anyone else they can occasionally get it wrong. Average scorers tend to see themselves as fairly well balanced, with some insight into their emotional make-up. They are pretty good at interacting with others and use their emotional insight to try to understand other people as well as they can.

26.5 / 44

Your score suggests that you treat social ethics and behaviour as a matter of pragmatic deals or exchanges. One helps a friend who has done you favours because he or she may return the favour.

You are likely to appeal for "tit-for-tat" exchanges or deals with others; even legal justice may be seen in this way. You will generally emphasise an approach to others based upon strict equalities (or inequalities), appealing to unfettered or unlimited freedoms as concrete rights, for example not helping others because "you shouldn't stick your nose in someone else's business."

Your reasoning is likely to depend upon your own preferences or needs at a particular time. You may also decide upon issues in terms of the advantages or disadvantages to be gained from action.

Good points.

I don't believe moral. How can a true "NT" person think if he/she is always worried if that is moral right or wrong. Moral is not equal to rational or thinking. It is just someone (most likely the regilion/parents etc) give it to you and you accept it without thinking because the authorities told you (when you were a kid) and most people in the society believe it. If you don't have the same moral as them, most people will ignore/isolate you or even worse, you will lose the best friends, jobs, elections etc. So, people act like they have high moral standard, indeed, some of them (if not most) are not.

In my mind, a true XNTX won't accept any norm/moral without thinking/good reasons to back them up.

I am disappointed why people are happy to have high moral standard. High moral standard is not equal to thinking/reasoning. Ok, you may have all the reasons for the high moral standard. However, I am very doubt!

Now, I prepare to be attacked! One thing for sure, to be "INTJ" is not easy! especially those who have a big mouth. The results/consequences show on my resume and my relationship! :)

This whole reasoning is based upon the premise that morals is something that has been forced upon you, and not something you build yourself. If that were the case, you would be right. But since there are many people that choose to make their own philosophy (such as me, for example), and hold their own moral grounds, then your entire argument crumbles down.

But since there are many people that choose to make their own philosophy (such as me, for example), and hold their own moral grounds, then your entire argument crumbles down.

My point is not necessary the moral is something that has been forced on you. You still build your own moral system but the moral you built is influence/told by your parents, religion, society which most people accepts "at the particular point of time, at particular place" since you were a kid. However, you hardly question it since you believe that long time ago.

One example, In US, most people just have one wife (illegal to have more than one wife anyway.) I will question why a man can only have one wife. In some countries, a man can have more than one wife. If you grow up in that countries, you may not believe it is wrong to have more than one wife! (This is just example, I am not trying to argue if it is right or wrong. By the way, I know I will have 0 wife so this really has no conflict of interests! until the law says it is illegal to be single.)

Anyway, without any good reason behind the moral standard, I cannot accept it. I am very doubt most moral standards have good reasons behind.

More controversial, incest is considered immoral. However, read this article, To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. I keep thinking if the law should keep them from seeing each other. What are the reasons why they cannot see each other? (Germany is one of the most rational countries, I am very interested to know how they handle this situation.)

By the way, I am not trying to attrack anyone. I just want to express my point of view.

However, you hardly question it since you believe that long time ago.

I already knew you meant that. You are still wrong. People (specially rationals like you and me) are capable of having the required willpower to reject everything they're taught and create their own system of morality and ethics. It is possible, and it can be proven. If you are a logical and rational being, you will accept that there's a possibility that you're wrong, and given enough evidence, you will change your mind.

Sigh. You confuse morality with the Law. They are two very different things. The Law is often derivated from the common pooling of the moral decisions of a group of people. Not all of them will agree, which is why they're different.

Anyway, without any good reason behind the moral standard, I cannot accept it. I am very doubt most moral standards have good reasons behind.

And you shouldn't. Hence why I said to build your own system.

The bolded part made me cringe. Are you serious? Like... MORAL not having GOOD reasons behind? Are you being dense on purpose? That's why Morals exist in the first place!

(German is one of the most rational countries, I am very interested to know how they handle this situation.)

Sigh. Read what I said above. The Law is not the same as Morals or Ethics. They are nothing but the collective consensus of a group of people designated by a larger group of people to rule their lives and provide order. If the Senators of Germany decided many moons ago that an incestuous brother couldn't see his sister, then that's too bad for the couple. They should try to repeal the Law, which is what they're doing now. I don't see how that article helps your point in any way.

By the way, I am not trying to attrack anyone. I just want to express my point of view.

You should be more careful with how you word your posts, because you have basically attacked (albeit unintentionally) anyone that follows the law or has ethics.

Below is just one scenario. You may be different. So it may not apply to you. I don't have any real data but "I believe" many people will fall into this scenario. Only "NT" type people will question about the moral system!
"My point is not necessary the moral is something that has been forced on you. You still build your own moral system but the moral you built is influence/told by your parents, religion, society which most people accepts "at the particular point of time, at particular place" since you were a kid. However, you hardly question it since you believe that long time ago."

Can the moral standard go to the extreme and it becomes the law? Who makes the law? Can someone make the law base on the moral standard? If the law is not most people want, why is the law still there (unless we all live in China)?

I don't know what you mean good reasons. Everyone has "good reasons" to do/believe something (but those may not be good reasons for most of people. That is what I mean.). Good reasons for who? Good reasons for yourself, your family, your country, the world or your believe/religion?

I am not saying you are not rational because I don't know what you believe or your moral standard at all. I just say in gerenal I don't believe or accept established sanctioned codes.

Your moral may be perfectly reasonable and rational than mine. Who knows! I just use "You"=somone,somebody in the reply, it does mot mean you = "Paul". Don't take it personal.

LAst, I believe that Moral does imply conforming to a standard of right behavior. If it is true, my point is standard of right behavior is not always right.

You take into account the consequences of actions for other people, whether for benefit or harm, as a consideration in its own right for deciding how one should act towards others. You emphasise relationships, thinking how you might feel if you were on the receiving end. Empathy is important, as well as compassion.

You are likely to expect others to conform to normally expected conduct, reflecting on "common decency" and will think of the chaos caused by laws being broken. You will value, love and respect others, and appreciate some higher values, as well as speaking of the benefits of a clean conscience or pride.

My point is not necessary the moral is something that has been forced on you. You still build your own moral system but the moral you built is influence/told by your parents, religion, society which most people accepts "at the particular point of time, at particular place" since you were a kid. However, you hardly question it since you believe that long time ago.


So in that sense you should say 'most' people, since my beliefs are quite different from my parents and my society in general (yes I live in China and I'm from Hong Kong). Accepted values of society and the things my parents teach me did have an influence on me once upon a time, but not anymore. For example, in China (I hardly spent any time in Hong Kong), they were spreading propaganda everywhere (Communists are working hard to improve the conditions of people, Enthusiastically celebrate the heart-warming and righteous speech XXX politician gave, All the people work towards a Socialist society etc. etc.). You seem them in big red banners on the streets and in schools. Pathetic, really. They are no doubt influential and due to them most Chinese are nationalists (Chairman Mao is great; I'm a proud Communist Party member etc. etc.), but ever since a couple of years ago, I started seeing the world through my own perspectives and I saw no real reason support such a government who tries to gain support by advertising themselves. Sure, every government does that at some point, but the amount in China is just... Too much (Yes I realize I'm going off topic). Other moral include ones taught by my mother. She is quite conservative while I'm quite liberal and we disagree on pretty much everything, and yet I've been hearing them for all my life. Not everyone base their morals on what they're taught. There ARE many free-thinkers and skeptics in the world. "You hardly question it since you believed it a long time ago." In fact, I question everything I was taught until it makes sense to me, then I decide whether to continue supporting it. I think the best way to do that is to perceive issues and problems through a detached point of view, but of course others will disagree.

Yes, I should say "most"! I did mean "most" (Maybe I am wrong it is not "most", it is just "few" who knows!) It is very difficult to view any (moral) issue or problem without bias for "most" people due to religion, core values, own experience, parents/families influence, peer influence, politics influence etc. If you can view an issue without any bias, I will consider you are the true "free thinker" (INTJ).

However, I don't mean you have to express your view in the public. It will get you kill in some places!

Now, I am wondering how acurate is MTBI test. People may not belong here! This is just the own "religion/believe" system forum. I am not against religion , one can have any religion but the religion should not have any influence of what he/she thinks. If you tell me a man can only have one wife by your religion standard, you need to tell me why with reasons.

Now, I am disappointed since I have an impression the reasoning is biased.

Kay, this is getting out of hand.

A) Everyone belongs here, regardless of type. This forum, according to Jezebel, is open to all types and it doesn't discriminate against non-INTJs.

B) "This is just the own "religion/believe" system forum." --> Clarify that, because it sounds offensive.

C) Sigh. If you adopt a religion, it is because you agree with what it states/proclaims. Yes, most people are forced a religion from their birth, but guess what? Most people are not mindless automatons! They can choose not to believe in that religion, adopt a new one, or become atheist/agnostic. And even moreso, they can choose to ignore what others tell them. They can choose to believe in what they want to believe. If you cannot understand that, then for the sake of efficiency, I will not argue any further.

D) You keep confusing the Law with Morality. In order to continue this argument, you need to tell me what are you disagreeing with:

1) The fact that you are not allowed to have more than one wife by the Law.

or

2) The fact that in some countries, while it's not prohibited by the Law, having more than one wife is frowned upon, due to moral/religious customs.

E) "Now, I am disappointed since I have an impression the reasoning is biased." Whose reasoning? Biased in which way? Please, do not throw statements like this one without carefully considering what you are implying.

About A. If you said so, you might be right. Then the forum should be called MTBI XXxX. It is misleading. I know that I will offense somebody again. What I really mean is if your reasoning is influence by religion, parents, friends, society etc, you are not real 'NT" type.. You should not put down the type as "INTJ" in this forum. Maybe it should be "INXJ"

I think you don't try to see my point of view. You just keep focus your points.
I have an impression you are very religious person. That is nothing wrong. But at least, you try to see what I mean. If I do not make any sense to you, forget about it. I am very tried of it.

I suggest that if most people believe it is the moral standard in the society (especially religious society), they may make it as the law. It is like abortion, incest etc (I do not agrue if it is wrong or right. It may depend on the situation.). You keep telling me the law is differnt from the law. You don't even try to understand what I mean.

Now, have a nice day and life to have your high moral standard. I won't argue with you.

Now that you see what I mean by Morality, Morals, Ethics, Law and Religion, you can now understand how I find your post to lack any sense at all.

Let me quote some of the "irrational" parts of them:

What I really mean is if your reasoning is influence by religion, parents, friends, society etc, you are not real 'NT" type.

Everyone is influenced by either religion, parents, friends, society or another group of people. Why? Because there are stages of life called "Infancy" and "Childhood" in which people need to be taught how to interact and function in a society. Most people are not clairvoyants, therefore they need someone else to tell them how to act. Now, read carefully what I'm about to type, and try hard to understand it:

I did not say that people are not influenced by others. I said that one can break free from that influence and choose what they want to believe. Whether it's religion, atheism or agnosticism, it doesn't matter. You. Can. Choose.

I think you don't try to see my point of view. You just keep focus your points.

Butchered grammar aside, the same thing can be said about you. You fail to give me evidence of what you claim, while I'm giving you definitions and logical reasonings.

I have an impression you are very religious person.

To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

If you really are an INTJ, then tell your Intuition to wipe its glasses. I fit the "Agnostic/Atheist" category.

You keep telling me the law is differnt from the law.

I would answer that, but I'm afraid that I might get a brain aneurism. I will let a quote do the job for me:

You keep confusing the Law with Morality.

That's what I said. Read the definitions above. Read what you typed. Continue this process until the fog dissipates from your mind.

I am not against religion , one can have any religion but the religion should not have any influence of what he/she thinks.

Read the definition of religion. See where it says "often"? Well, it means "Usually, but not always". This means that "often", religion provides a moral guideline to function in a society. And you know what the best part of that is? You don't have to follow that guideline if you don't adhere to a religion! And you know what else is awesome? You are not forced to belong to any religion if you don't want to! Isn't that great or what?

Now, I am disappointed since I have an impression the reasoning is biased.

You still haven't answered what you meant by that.

Final words:

You are a very confused person. Do not follow blindly what I said. Investigate. Read definitions. Read what philosophers have said. Read what sociologists and psychologists have said. When in doubt, look at the dictionary.

But most importantly:

Do not argue with an INTJ if you are not 100% sure you'll win, and you don't have the data to back it up.

“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”
- Sun Tzu











Edit at below: It saddens me that you are as narrow-minded as a religious zealot. You should use that NT you're so proud of to see that you might actually be wrong, and that you don't know everything.

[terencec]

Why do think that listening to what others say, and factoring what they say into your own logic, is not NT? Or did I misunderstand you?

We all listen to what other says in the books or other sources to get the knowledge. Without knowledge, I am doubt we can even think very well. Of course, I don't mean like that! It is simple, as long as you can think "indelpendently" without any "bias", use the "logic" and all our knowledge at the point, the conclusion may not be right, it is still "NT" type. I let you answer the question you ask. I think it is not too difficult to understand what I "really mean"! Unless, you have to take it out of the context.

I posted here because I don't understand why we need to have a high moral standard because I see many moral standards depend on the different situations. There are no absolute right or wrong. The moral standard imposts on us or others may not even right. So, what is the meaning to take the test to know if I have the high moral standard if many of moral standards are not right in my point of view. You don't have to agree with me or you can have different point of view but this is why I started to post here. If you see almost all moral standards are absolutely right, then the high moral standard does mean something. I cannot see that but I could be wrong!

I consider myself moral, but not necessarily by society's standards.

Your score puts you in the highest category of social reasoning. You will see ethical and moral values as important to the needs of society and will appeal to basic rights or values. You might say "Honesty is a standard which everyone should accept" or "Life is sacred."

Conformity to ethical norms is important to you, in terms of a responsibility, obligation or commitment for all individuals, although you may be willing to consider exceptions in some particular circumstances. You are likely to suggest that with entitlement or privilege comes responsibility.

You will appeal to considerations of responsible character or integrity in others, preferring a consistent or standard practice of behaviour in order to avoid damage to social institutions such as the legal system.

However, you will want to see an adjusted case-by-case application of standards for the sake of fairness to all people. Lastly, you are very likely to appeal to standards of individual or personal conscience, as well as of honour, dignity or integrity.


Yeah, that seems pretty accurate.

The test seemed to distinguish from a morality that is completely self-centered along a spectrum to one where moral concerns live somewhere outside our selves.

While I don't advocate being unconcerned with our personal well-being and interests, when taken to the extreme we have a name for that someone whose morality is self-centered, and it's "sociopath."

I don't know of any society, regardless of cultural and religious views, that would find a sociopath especially moral.

IOW, there does appear to be a morality that is, if not universal, pretty darned close to it.

False assumptions in these results. I think some people have very limited ability to be honest, with themselves as well as others. (That's an observation, not a value judgment.) I don't think life is sacred. And I think morals are personal -- not the same as obeying society's laws, which this survey fuzzes up. I have morals for myself, not for others, not for religion.

Hm. I wouldn't call morals 'conformity'. It is most important to know the norms, so that every act against them is conscious, and prepared to pay the social price. Everything is allowed afterwards, with its cost, of course.

One of my favourite activities in life is to pay my debts - personal, social and material. I consider it learning experience of highest quality. I make many mistakes, so I go through this quite often.

Where did I lose half a mark?Probably among the multiple answers for the reasons behind your choices. This is the most important part.

I realize now, from their comment, they seem to consider "Life is sacred" as an important moral standard. If so, then I'd prefer to miss 2 points there.

On the question "How important is it for a person to live even if they don't want to?", I voted "Not important" with the clarification: "Under severe circumstances, individuals should be able to choose to die with dignity", because I strictly support euthanasia as a basic human right.

Your score suggests that you emphasise relatively concrete issues in your reasoning, confusing morality in some instances with physical power or conformity to some authority figure. You probably express yourself in absolute terms such as "always" or "never."

You may follow the instructions of an authority figure such as a politician or policeman. Anything this authority declares is morally right. Your opinions on things may often be couched in absolute terms, expressing rules which entail a rigid, constraint-oriented or coercive view, and with the use of labels such as "good" or "bad", "right" or "wrong."

You emphasise punitive consequences for violating the rules, using physical or action terms "being beaten up, killed, punished, put in jail." Although the physical consequences are usually punitive, they may also be positive, for example through gaining rewards.

Definitely not on the politician/policeman bit.

Your score puts you in the highest category of social reasoning. You will see ethical and moral values as important to the needs of society and will appeal to basic rights or values. You might say "Honesty is a standard which everyone should accept" or "Life is sacred."

Conformity to ethical norms is important to you, in terms of a responsibility, obligation or commitment for all individuals, although you may be willing to consider exceptions in some particular circumstances. You are likely to suggest that with entitlement or privilege comes responsibility.

You will appeal to considerations of responsible character or integrity in others, preferring a consistent or standard practice of behaviour in order to avoid damage to social institutions such as the legal system.

However, you will want to see an adjusted case-by-case application of standards for the sake of fairness to all people. Lastly, you are very likely to appeal to standards of individual or personal conscience, as well as of honour, dignity or integrity.
Background

Scores on the questionnaire form a scale that tracks the development of reasoning from childhood through to adulthood about social, ethical and moral issues. The original research using this questionnaire was conducted in the United States by Kohlberg and was followed up by John Gibbs, Karen Basinger and Dick Fuller.

Most children make decisions based on the influence of power and authority figures, progressing through an emphasis upon exchange relationships with others, then on to mutual and social expectations.

Some people progress to a level where they base their moral reasoning on universal values. Others become fixed at earlier stages depending upon circumstances. But recent research has suggested that it is possible to change the way you reason about your social responsibilities

Your score puts you in the mature category of social reasoning and the majority of people will have scores in this range. Thinking here transcends the practicalities of one's preferences and exchanges to an emphasis upon social feeling, caring and conduct.

You take into account the consequences of actions for other people, whether for benefit or harm, as a consideration in its own right for deciding how one should act towards others. You emphasise relationships, thinking how you might feel if you were on the receiving end. Empathy is important, as well as compassion.

You are likely to expect others to conform to normally expected conduct, reflecting on "common decency" and will think of the chaos caused by laws being broken. You will value, love and respect others, and appreciate some higher values, as well as speaking of the benefits of a clean conscience or pride.

26.5 / 44

Your score suggests that you treat social ethics and behaviour as a matter of pragmatic deals or exchanges. One helps a friend who has done you favours because he or she may return the favour.

You are likely to appeal for "tit-for-tat" exchanges or deals with others; even legal justice may be seen in this way. You will generally emphasise an approach to others based upon strict equalities (or inequalities), appealing to unfettered or unlimited freedoms as concrete rights, for example not helping others because "you shouldn't stick your nose in someone else's business."

Your reasoning is likely to depend upon your own preferences or needs at a particular time. You may also decide upon issues in terms of the advantages or disadvantages to be gained from action.

If I'm really honest, I think many people with these high scores (Almost all of you) have been answering in a "trying to look better than I am" fashion. This test is also kind of helping you a lot to get to do that, I have to say.

I think I got the lowest score,.. :) But the description actually makes perfect sense to me.

[nettneu]

I got 38 too. Which is crazy because I certainly wouldn't claim to be moral. In fact I'm not even sure that the concept of morality is particularly useful, because it means different things to different people.

It seems that the person who defined the tests thinks that the way I tend to behave is rather "moral". Maybe that means his "morality" is a fairly rational way to behave. Or maybe it's just coincidence, because I don't feel that the test succeeded in really finding out what I think. In many cases none of suggested "reasons" was the real one. And I wasn't at all sure about how to calibrate the categories "very important", "important" and "not important" in the first place.

The results say, "Conformity to ethical norms is important to you." But it isn't, I'm not remotely interested in conformity for its own sake.

It's a different test, but from the same site. I'm a Pastel abstract artist, so this test interested me more.

That one said, "Your favourite type of art is Japanese ukiyo-e."

Well, I do like that a lot, but if I had to choose a single favourite type it would probably be renaissance landscapes. Or something surrealist, especially Magritte. Or Jerome Bosch. The test went on to say that from the personality questions it would expect me to like impressionism - which I do to some extent, but only in its milder forms (e.g. Monet's earlier waterlillies are nice, but in the end he took it a bit too far.)

P.S. The questions did not leave enough room for ambiguity; there were too many rigid 'musts' and only three choices including important and very important when I don't think it's 'important' to save someone's life if I can and it won't kill me: that's morality?!?, so I did the best I could with this kind of questionnaire.

This is the key for me--finding the point of convergence between reasonable, humane values and the necessities of specific situations/cases.

You scored 40.5 out of a total of 44.

Your score puts you in the highest category of social reasoning. You will see ethical and moral values as important to the needs of society and will appeal to basic rights or values. You might say "Honesty is a standard which everyone should accept" or "Life is sacred."

Conformity to ethical norms is important to you, in terms of a responsibility, obligation or commitment for all individuals, although you may be willing to consider exceptions in some particular circumstances. You are likely to suggest that with entitlement or privilege comes responsibility.

You will appeal to considerations of responsible character or integrity in others, preferring a consistent or standard practice of behaviour in order to avoid damage to social institutions such as the legal system.

However, you will want to see an adjusted case-by-case application of standards for the sake of fairness to all people. Lastly, you are very likely to appeal to standards of individual or personal conscience, as well as of honour, dignity or integrity.
