Moral Foundations Test

Discover your political and ethical profile based on Jonathan Haidt's Moral Foundations Theory.

About This Test

Moral Foundations Theory, developed by psychologists Jonathan Haidt, Jesse Graham, and Craig Joseph, suggests that there are psychological foundations underlying human morality that are innate and universal to every civilization across history. According to the theory, people's moral judgments are based on six primary foundations: Care, Fairness, Liberty, In-Group Loyalty, Purity, and Authority/Order. These foundations represent evolved mechanisms that have helped humans navigate social interactions.

Care

The Care foundation is defined as a desire to minimize the suffering of others and protect the weak.

Fairness

The Fairness foundation is defined as a desire for people to be held accountable for their actions in an equal playing field.

Liberty

The Liberty foundation is defined as a desire for people to have agency over their lives without outside coercion.

Loyalty

The In-Group Loyalty foundation is defined as a desire for members of one's group to collectivize for the benefit of said group.

Purity

The Purity foundation is defined as a desire to uphold a standard of 'high society' and avoid behavior perceived as degrading.

Authority

The Authority foundation is defined as a desire to establish and conform to rules, institutions, and hierarchies.

How it works

You will be presented with a series of statements. For each statement, indicate how much you agree or disagree. Your answers will be analyzed to calculate your score on each of the six moral foundations.
