' How do your morals compare?'

[Nearly Sane]

Odd little quiz. I do wonder about whether the questions were answered honestly.

[Steve H]

6/10 for me - which I assume means that I agree with the majority 6 times out of 10.

[Roses]

I can't get the quiz to come up. However I did see the bit about people taking a sickie when they weren't ill, that is disgusting and immoral!

[Harrowby Hall]

7/10 for me - but I found some of the questions difficult to answer because they specified a situation which did not apply to me.

For instance, would I read my partner's social media private material. I haven't got a partner - so it's hypothetical. And I can only once "taking a sickie" because I was going for an interview for a job which would enable me to escape a job in which I was not happy.

[Aruntraveller]

Also 7/10 but as HH implies the questions don't fully cover all options.

[Nearly Sane]

And it's very black and white in some of them. I also struggle with whether it means 'Do you think this is immoral' as opposed to 'would you do this'. I know that people might do something that they think is immoral, but my suspicion is that at base that's a worry about getting caught, and that they actually do think it's ok for them.

[Gordon]

I scored 7/10 - it says I have a rebellious streak, which has cheered me up no end.

[Nearly Sane]

And looking at it I am not sure how the question "Do you agree women and men are born to have different roles?" is about morals, I also don't really understand the VR question, surely it depends on what the point of the game is?

I got 4/10.

[Gordon]

I thought the VR question was odd too - it's a game, and being able to kill artificial characters in a game isn't really a moral question any more than shooting artificial ducks at a fairground stall is.

[Nearly Sane]

The choices for is it ever right to cheat on your partner were bizarre - who on earth says 'Yes, if it's with a celebrity'?

10% of young people apparently.

(8/10 for me)

I answered that it was absolutely fine, but that apparently puts me in a small minority.

But it's a game. It's not real. It's no more immoral than Agatha Christie writing books in which one of the characters murders somebody.

[Roses]

I managed to do the quiz in the end, I thought my score would have been higher.

Somewhat rebellious, somewhat socially aligned. Your values are a mix-and-match of those surveyed.
Your score:
6/10

I agree with the rebellious bit, certainly when I was younger.

[Nearly Sane]

That was my take as well - that said I would be more uncomfortable with the idea of torture or rape as mentioned in the reply.

[jeremyp]

That's an interesting point. The same logic applies but I don't think I could ever rape somebody in a game. If it was an action that was necessary to progress, I think I would stop playing  the game. In fact, if it was even possible to rape somebody in game, it means the game designer deliberately programmed it in, so I would probably not play that game.

And yet, I have no problem blowing my enemies to smithereens in computer games. I am disturbed by my own inconsistency.

I suppose there are times where we are more likely to see killing as justified but not rape. And My reaction to a game with rape would be the same as yours.

No surprises for me then
3/10
I'm an absolute rotter 😂😱

That was at the high end of my prediction for you 

[Walter]

That was at the high end of my prediction for you 

and I guessed about right for you too.

I must add that I'm one of those " do as I say, not as I do " types .

I know , hard to believe ! 😂👽

Yep, with you on that. Of all the scores people have put up the only one I can honestly say was surprising was LR - I mean 6/10 is borderline being down with the scum like us.

My guess is she did the quizz at least twice and realised she looked too goody two shoeos so made up her score to give her some street cred 😇

I doubt LR pursues street cred, she rolls her own rebellious way. I can just picture her in the Brando role in The Wild One being asked what she was rebelling against and replying 'What've you got?'.

"FYI"    Told ya , street cred ! 😳

Lr
You've gotta get up to get down 💃
