I scored 99% on this. It makes me curious about how INTJs would do. I'm mainly interested in getting this kind of insight about some of the people I've seen on this forum before.

42 Have you ever used prescription drugs, without a prescription?
I had to answer yes to this, cause I once had to take a morphine pill cause my tooth broke off in the middle of the night and no regular painkiller worked.
I don't think this is exactly what the question meant, so I could have answered no ofcourse.. but then
1 My test starts simple, and unlike most tests, we'll jump around. Have you ever told a lie?
it would cost me points here :D

Hmmm.. I don't know Trinity. I agree that the sex purity will drop with age (older, more experience, more partners, etc).
I can also imagine that what-this-test-considers-morality will change with age for some people (less idealistic, more taking advantage of what life throws at you, etc).
But isn't substance use a personal choice, that has nothing to do with that persons age? Some people are interested in trying certain drugs, others are not. Why would that change?

I was thinking that myself, what is immoral about sex between consenting adults? It's not illegal like drugs or stealing or other questions in the silly questionnaire. Does society really see sex as immoral behaviour, even between a married couple? Maybe the test should be for "prudishess" instead of "purity".

It just looks at what things you've done and what you haven't done. The more you experience the less "pure" you are. It's not supposed to be taken this seriously.

Danisty, maybe you are right that we take this test too seriously.
But, besides the problem I mentioned above, I criticise this test because it identifies lack of experience with purity, while in my opinion purity is based on your choice between known options. But that's a different question :-)

I'm pretty sure anything from a website called HelloQuizzy.com can't truly measure morality even if it was possible.
48% sex, 55% substance, 63% moral [53% total]
91% sex, 65% substance, 63% moral [77% total]
Advisory:
* Don't date anyone if your moral purities differ by more than 30%.
* Don't run a business with anyone if your substance purities differ by more than 40%.
* Do be friends with someone who has less than 1/2 your sex purity. You'll enjoy their colorful company.

I agree with Nightelf , Synamon, Danisty, and others. Its stupid to base Morality on sexual curiousity. I think that Morality comes into play with Sexuality if you did things without the consent of others, which I certainly have never done.

I have followed this thread with the intent of posting until I realized how low my score was compared to everyone elses. I might have everyone beat. I retook the test just to make sure I was being completely honest. The funny thing....I consider myself a very moral person. I know that can be a gray area for me and for others as well, but in the past, my intent has always been to experience, be true to myself, and not try to hurt anyone in the process. The quiz's only real measure is experience....how many of these things have you done. I have done many of them and have lived to tell the tale....and its likely that I will try a few more of them before I am through.

Puh-lease. You INTJs. Acting like INFPs.
Thanks Danisty - for differentiating between morals, purity, and experience.
This test was written for a junior high church youth group.
If you are such introverts, how would you expect to have low scores?
Self-destruction is one thing; but immorality requires interaction with other humans (or animals, I am sure there are some of you sickos out here).
As spittingvenom points out, one can try a lot of things that seem to be immoral... without hurting others. Most of the questions on this test did not involve doing harm to others. For example, there are no questions about hitting your spouse (which I went to jail for - although it was mutual - does that make it double or nothing?). There are no questions about war, child abuse, etc.
Unfo for spittingvenom, she does not see the REAL gray area is NOT between what is "moral" and what is "immoral" - it is the area between thinking our actions do not affect others, and accepting that they do. For example, I think there is only a difference in severity, not in type, between your wife stabbing you while your son watches, and sleeping with someone you don't respect even though you know their inferiority complex drives them to pointlessly seek _____ from you, which you withhold to keep them coming back.

No... you missed my point. People here seem to be freaking out because they scored "too high" or "too low." I thought INTJs wouldn't care that much? It's more of an INFP thing to be concerned with one's morality, their essential goodness or badness (not that this test really measured any of that, as multiple postings attest to). Actually I think INFPs have one of the greatest tendencies to revert to evil behavior, because they can get so wrapped up in their head (instead of also paying attention to other people and to the world) and their feelings (instead of trying to think rationally about them) and their desire to be good (or... be bad and not care). The main INFP I know is an odd combination of John Rambo (1st movie only), Nick Cave, and Nietzsche. INTJs can be kinda like this, except they replace the extreme moral self-denigration with extreme alienation from one's own feelings.
Moral sludge? I think all people have the ability to play to the best of their strengths or the worst of their weaknesses. Difference is, an unhealthy INFP reminds me more of Hitler, an unhealthy INTJ reminds me more of his generals and underlings who were "just following orders."

First of all, this test has nothing to do with morality.
Secondly, I think lollardy was referring to the surprising tendency of INTJs to be repressed moralists. The difference between INFPs and INTJs though it that the FPs really struggle with morality as a social principle and fear thier own human nature. INTJs base morality on some weird individual logical construct. I have been stunned over and over again about the strict moral stances I see over and over on this forum.
INTJs live in fear of the E world. I think fear of experiences, especially ones tied to extreme emotional reactions (lust, drugs) result in the formation of these rational networks of good vs. bad. Get out of your heads!!! Experience is the only way to really learn about yourself and about other people. I am not saying that every one of you needs to go get high and fuck the next person you see, but in truth, you would probably be the wiser for it (good or bad).

Ah, never mind then. I thought you were referring to the scores, not the reactions to the scores. Point taken.
INTJs base morality on some weird individual logical construct. I have been stunned over and over again about the strict moral stances I see over and over on this forum.
What is weird about logic-based morality? Logic is strict. Certain moral stances can be shown to be more logical than others. Would you suggest a source of morality other than logic, or do you think morality as a concept is illogical? Do explain.
INTJs live in fear of the E world. I think fear of experiences, especially ones tied to extreme emotional reactions (lust, drugs) result in the formation of these rational networks of good vs. bad.
I avoid things like drugs because they are harmful and therefore completely illogical to consume. I value my well-being and clear thinking above superficial pleasure. Therefore you could say that I fear such experiences, but that fear is caused by my logical construct, not the reverse. I am only "fearful" of the E world in that I prefer to largely avoid it.
Experience is the only way to really learn about yourself and about other people.
It need not be direct experience. I can "experience" through statistics, observing what I need to know by being aware of what other people go through. I do not need to snort cocaine in order to find out that it is addictive. I already know that because other people were foolish enough to try it before me. I learn from the mistakes of those around me as well as my own, and the more are of the former kind, the better.

'Stolen' seems harsh. I don't know how to interpret this question, and that's messing up my results. Is it referring to rape?
Aw, I feel dirty and old, too. Shouldn't I feel sexy instead?

Yeah, that question got me for a moment, and then I realigned to the Bible-thumper mentality this test seems to have and I figured they meant "steal" was to "take out of marriage". Then I wondered what it would change if you've done it more then once, but eh.

Nothing weird about using logic to form moral guidelines. What is weird (and surprising) is how black and white INTJs tend to be. In my opinion, INTJs, should be the most flexible and openminded when it comes to forming logical frameworks for morality because of our inquisitive nature and constant questioning of rules/laws/society. I just have been stunned to find such strictness and judgement when it comes to moral issues. And yes, I do think there is a better basis for morality than pure logic and that would be logic plus knowledge plus experience.
I avoid things like drugs because they are harmful and therefore completely illogical to consume. I value my well-being and clear thinking above superficial pleasure. Therefore you could say that I fear such experiences, but that fear is caused by my logical construct, not the reverse. I am only "fearful" of the E world in that I prefer to largely avoid it.
"drugs are harmful" is a classic example of why trying to form black and white moral guidelines often doesn't work. What does harmful mean? What are drugs? Legal or illegal, prescription, non-prescription, Heroin or Caffiene? Who are they harming? Some drugs are extremely helpful depending on the response you are looking for. Many drugs are no more harmful than a greasy hamburger and a milkshake, depending on how you look at it. What is your basis for saying drugs are harmful? Its obviously not from experience. Also just because the intent of an experience is pleasure does not make that experience "superficial". There is no logic in that.
It need not be direct experience. I can "experience" through statistics, observing what I need to know by being aware of what other people go through. I do not need to snort cocaine in order to find out that it is addictive. I already know that because other people were foolish enough to try it before me. I learn from the mistakes of those around me as well as my own, and the more are of the former kind, the better.
Now this, I absolutely disagree with. There are many things to be gained from statistics, observation, deduction, but I wouldn't call any of them experience. Experience is knowledge AND action. You can know that some things are good or bad for you with out ever experiencing them but you are really missing out if you choose to blanket certain experiences is immoral or evil or bad basing them only on logic and rationalism. There is a component that give real power to our ability for rational thought and that is our ability to feel and have emotional thought as well.

Wow, you did almost break it... I was surprised someone got lower than me on the moral... and you *almost* edged me out overall... my advice - try the psychedelics (you too LastMohican).

Yeah, 1% off, lol. But at least I'm not the only one so corrupt. ^^ If they included the prescription psych drugs I'd be a force to recon with there. And I know some of them have some high grade stuff in them, but I don't know the details on all I've taken and I didn't think it was really enough to count, that wasn't their purpose. To be "recreational" that is. But I HAVE thought about some of the other ones. And I don't know what to categorize peyote as either. But shrooms look interesting. *sigh* I'm sooo going to hell....

Nothing weird about using logic to form moral guidelines. What is weird (and surprising) is how black and white INTJs tend to be. In my opinion, INTJs, should be the most flexible and openminded when it comes to forming logical frameworks for morality because of our inquisitive nature and constant questioning of rules/laws/society. I just have been stunned to find such strictness and judgement when it comes to moral issues. And yes, I do think there is a better basis for morality than pure logic and that would be logic plus knowledge plus experience.
INTJ's do tend to be flexible and open-minded...until they affirm their stances with logic. They appear open-minded because they do not usually follow along with societal norms, but originate their own ideas. Once they have logically analyzed, however, they become more closed-minded. At that point many INTJ's see no point in considering further gray area, because the logic has already established the black and white. INTJ's tend to be inquisitive until they figure something out, and then they move on to something else.
"drugs are harmful" is a classic example of why trying to form black and white moral guidelines often doesn't work. What does harmful mean? What are drugs? Legal or illegal, prescription, non-prescription, Heroin or Caffiene? Who are they harming? Some drugs are extremely helpful depending on the response you are looking for. Many drugs are no more harmful than a greasy hamburger and a milkshake, depending on how you look at it. What is your basis for saying drugs are harmful? Its obviously not from experience.
I did not say that all drugs are harmful. There are many different kinds of drugs, and most are harmful to varying degrees. I could just take one example: I know that methamphetamine is harmful. It is more harmful than a hamburger. I do not need to use it to know it physically damaging, because I can just look at the statistics of those who use it. It is not any surprise that it is harmful either, considering its toxicity.
But you seem to have missed my point. I was not stating anything in order to establish that drugs are harmful. I was simply pointing out a way for me to know something without experience.
Also just because the intent of an experience is pleasure does not make that experience "superficial". There is no logic in that.
Whatever you think, then. I am not going to try to argue you out of your pet definition of "superficial."
Now this, I absolutely disagree with.
So much for INTJ open-mindedness.
There are many things to be gained from statistics, observation, deduction, but I wouldn't call any of them experience. Experience is knowledge AND action. You can know that some things are good or bad for you with out ever experiencing them but you are really missing out if you choose to blanket certain experiences is immoral or evil or bad basing them only on logic and rationalism. There is a component that give real power to our ability for rational thought and that is our ability to feel and have emotional thought as well.
I have been over this before on another forum, in a lengthy debate on rationalism vs. empiricism. First off, those who think that emotion should figure into deciding whether a toxic substance is likely to be harmful are beyond my help. Just saying.
There are some things that can only be fully understood through direct experience, like watching a total solar eclipse. You don't know the rush until you've had it. But this is not about that kind of knowledge anyway. It is not important to me exactly how good a joint of pot is going to make me feel. I still know that it would be unwise of me to smoke it. How good it feels is completely irrelevant to the knowledge that it is likely to be bad for me. I do not know whether I am naturally immune to poison ivy, so I do not know whether I would develop a rash from it. But I still do not want to go and bathe in it to find out.
my advice - try the psychedelics (you too LastMohican).
I'll pass. I would prefer to remain rational and conscious, thank you.

the difference is, when you go to hell on shrooms or peyote, you get to say "hi!" to satan, tell him he is boring, and come back to earth. of course, it's not for everyone... some people forget the way home... and others have no desire to expand their consciousness...
