Moral Taboos

I just took another philosophical quiz on Moral Taboos. I found it interesting, here are my results…acordingly, I am less permissive than most, which, is kind of funny, since I am fairly open-minded. Albeit, I do find certain things to be more acceptable than other things.

Taboo - The Results

How did you do compared to other people?

Taboo has been played 10356 times.

Your Moralising Quotient of 0.79 compares to an average Moralising Quotient of 0.32. This means that as far as the events depicted in the scenarios featured in this activity are concerned you are less permissive than average.

This is fairly surprising as I consider myself to be fairly open-minded.

Your Interference Factor of 0.50 compares to an average Interference Factor of 0.22. This means that as far as the events depicted in the scenarios featured in this activity are concerned you are more likely to recommend societal interference in matters of moral wrongdoing, in the form of prevention or punishment, than average.

I guess this makes sense, I mean, if there is something immoral that needs to be prevented because we can’t see all ends, I recommend prevention &/or punishment over merely allowing it.

Your Universalising Factor of 1.00 compares to an average Universalising Factor of 0.48. This means you are more likely than average to see moral wrongdoing in universal terms - that is, without regard to prevailing cultural norms and social conventions (at least as far as the events depicted in the scenarios featured in this activity are concerned).

Yes, being Christian dictates that there is an objective morality which social norms can not circumvent.
