Here are my results:
The first two just seem to indicate that I am "fully permissive". What does that mean? According to the quizmakers:
For example, there's are questions about a family cooking and eating a family pet that was killed in an accident, and another about a brother and sister having sex (the sister is biologically incapable of becoming pregnant). And in these scenarios, no one else is aware or exposed to the behavior in question. So yeah, when it comes to private actions in which no one else is ever exposed to or aware of the behavior, I'm morally permissive. But I wouldn't consider myself morally permissive in general, and I think the scenarios in this quiz are highly contrived. It is rare that an individual's actions are completely private and detached from any other human interaction. It is also rare that there are absolutely no personal ramifications from completely private actions. So I'm not sure this quiz has any real utility. Still...have a go, though I must warn you that there's a question about a guy screwing a store-bought chicken. p.s. The Universalising Factor of -1?
No surprising that they couldn't tell. For the record, I do believe in universal moral principles...but you knew that already. Read/Post Comments (12) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
