Testing Your Moral Sense

I've been blogging now and again about an innate moral sense, made up of "five colors:" do no harm, fairness, community, authority, and purity.

In an op-ed piece in today's New York Times Nicholas Kristof highlights the differences between conservatives and liberals in terms of which of these intuitions (colors) are emphasized by the respective groups. The conventional wisdom is that conservatives give each of the five moral intuitions similar emphasis, while liberals emphasize do no harm and fairness.

In my estimation, if you want to verify this innate moral sense, take an Internet quiz at www.yourmorals.org.
