The Morality Test

I found yet another quiz/test link. I took it myself with the following results:

(It lets you compare yourself to another person in the first section of the test, and you have to guess what that other person's answers would be. I chose my husband.)

By “moral” we mean those aspects of thought and behavior that relate to commonly accepted notions of right and wrong, and to selfish and unselfish actions. One need not be religious to be “moral,” although religions do tend to espouse moral codes of behavior. We have broken down your results into two sub-categories: political/economic morals and social morals.

Based on your answers to the previous questions, your overall score on a conservative/liberal dimension of moral attitudes--compared with the general population--puts your percentile at 73, with the 99th percentile indicating the most liberal possible rating. Another way of explaining this is to say that out of 100 randomly-selected people, you will most likely be more liberal than 73 of them.
You chose to rate another person, in addition to yourself. This other person's overall morality score is 67, meaning that they are slightly more conservative than you are.

You tend to hold progressive/liberal values, but are more traditional on some aspects.

When it comes to social morals, you feel that society's current laws need to be more flexible in some areas.

You believe that government is too conservative and would prefer it to change several of its political and practices.

The other person tends to hold progressive/liberal values, but is more traditional on some aspects.

There has been much research on how people describe others, and five major dimensions of human personality have been found. They are often referred to as the OCEAN model of personality, because of the acronym from the names of the five dimensions. Your specific personality indicates that the following attributes will most likely describe you well:

You are relatively open to new experiences.
You tend to do things somewhat haphazardly.
You are relatively social and enjoy the company of others.
You tend to consider the feelings of others.
You probably remain calm, even in tense situations.
