Morality Test
A scenario-based profile of how consistently your moral reasoning protects other people and honours obligations when fairness, loyalty, self-interest, rules, autonomy and consequences collide.
Say what you would actually think or do. There is no benefit to trying to sound cautious, clever or agreeable: the scoring rubric looks at whether your reasoning fits the situation.
All 30 questions contribute to the morality score. The same answers are also scored against the personality dualities in the background.

You discover evidence that a respected person in your field has taken credit for a junior person's work. Raising it could make you unpopular and the junior person has not asked you to intervene. What would you do?
