Fun with morality

Tyler Cowen links a quiz that seeks to determine your position on three dimensions of morality. Here’s how I scored:

Your Moralising Quotient is: 0.27.
Your Interference Factor is: 0.00.
Your Universalising Factor is: 0.50.

Mildly amusing and not particularly surprising. You can play here. Jacqueline Mackie Massey Passey had similar scores to me, while Stephen Bainbridge’s scores reminded me why I often find his politics annoyingly meddlesome.

My problem with the quiz is where it asked you if the person/people in the scenarios deserved to punished for their actions. That’s not really specific enough since one may wish a societal stigma on the acts, but not a law and gov’t enforcement. By the way, my score was:

Your Moralising Quotient is: 0.83.
Your Interference Factor is: 0.60.
Your Universalising Factor is: 1.00.
