The Moral Attribute Importance Test
Your result for The Moral Attribute Importance Test ...
Average Westerner
You placed 0% difference on action versus inaction and 0% importance on consent!
- Minding your own business is appropriate at times, but there is some imperative to help your fellow man. People have a responsibility to others, but not an all-encompassing one.
- There's a grey area on the issue of personal freedom. Some things supercede the right to consent.
One thing that makes this type of result difficult to explain is that it can apply to any broad moral belief system. Maybe you believe that personal happiness/eudaimonia is the ultimate good, and that something which would be self-sacrifice in the short term actually benefits you in the long term. On the other hand, it could be just the opposite--you believe that the individual should be happy and healthy because that is most conducive to all of humanity being happy and healthy.
This isn't uncommon. As the category name suggests, this is basically the belief of the average person in the developed Western world.
