What are my Moral Values

I happened to fill in a Moral Foundation Questionnaire which meausres the 5 psychological foundations of morality that seemed to find across cultures. They are as follows:





1. Harm / Care for people/environment/animal


2. Fairness & Reciprocity (including issues of rights)


3. Loyalty


4. Authority / Respect


5. Purity / Sanctity





The first two foundations (Care & Fairness) are about how you treat others. The last three indicate how do you behave in a group. Generally, the liberals scores higher on the first two and conservatives score more on the last three.





I found out that i am conservative on three scales namely Fairness, Respect for Authority and Purity. However, i am in between liberals and conservatives when it comes to Care and Loyalty.





I rate respect to authority and care for others as the highest moral traits with a score of 3.3 and 3.2 respectively. Fairness and Purity are rated next at 3.0 each. Loyalty is rated the least at 2.5.
