Re: Did you take the Moral Sense Test?
I scored a 6.3. But frankly, I think this sort of test reveals very little about a person's moral sense. I found myself thinking, thoughout the test, that moral choice was difficult not because the scenario's pose complex problems but because the restrictions placed on moral choice were so contrived that morality hardly seemed to apply. These are the sort of trick questions the philosophers dwell on to amuse themselves, but lifeboat ethics isn't necessarily a good way to determine a person's moral tendencies.
