About this test
Moral Foundations Theory, developed by Jonathan Haidt and colleagues, proposes that human morality rests on six innate foundations: Care, Fairness, Loyalty, Authority, Sanctity, and Liberty. People weight these foundations very differently — and those differences explain why intelligent, well-meaning people land on opposite sides of nearly every cultural debate. These 48 statements measure how strongly each foundation drives your own moral judgments.
What you'll discover
Care
Sensitivity to suffering and harm. Drives compassion, protectiveness toward the vulnerable, and gentleness.
Fairness
Concern with justice, cheating, and proportionality. Drives outrage at double standards and free-riders.
Loyalty
Allegiance to family, team, and community. Drives solidarity, group pride, and contempt for betrayal.
Authority
Respect for legitimate hierarchy and tradition. Drives deference, duty, and the value placed on social order.
Sanctity
Sense of purity and the sacred. Drives reverence, self-discipline, and unease at degradation.
Liberty
Resistance to domination and coercion. Drives autonomy, suspicion of concentrated power, and live-and-let-live ethics.
