Warning

The fictional news story you saw near the start of Test Your Morality may have influenced your responses to the moral scenarios in the test. This story was designed to arouse moral concerns specifically related to one of the functions that keep the ‘human superorganism’ working properly.
You were shown a story about set-backs in a war with a neighbouring country. This may have artificially increased your sense of wrongness.
This news story was included in the test to help our scientists discover more about what influences a person’s response to moral scenarios. Your story was randomly selected from a group of stories.
Thank you for participating!

 [...]

Your score suggests that you do not generally feel anger when someone goes against your personal view of what is right. This means you are less likely to react in a confrontational manner towards people who do not share your values.
Your score suggests that you do not experience a strong emotional response to issues of right and wrong. You probably rarely feel physically sickened by the immoral actions of other people.


The desire to avoid is thought to be a consequence of being disgusted by someone’s behaviour. Your score suggests that while you may find some actions morally disgusting, you are less likely to have concerns about interacting with those involved. You may be more tolerant than others in terms of your desire to avoid.
