The web-based Moral Sense Test

The web-based Moral Sense Test developed at Harvard present dilemmas ranging from how to handle freeloaders at ‘bring a dish’ dinner parties to the propriety of killing someone to save others. Thousands of people, with diverse backgrounds, age, education, religious affiliation and ethnicity, have taken the tests. They point out that individuals presented with unfamiliar moral dilemmas show no difference in their responses if they have a religious background or not.
