I found this site on a Christian Facebook page I like.  Basically, it's a series of quizzes developed by social psychologists that measure moral and political behaviors.  You have to register to take the quizzes, but it's definitely worth it.

Here are the results I got from two quizzes I just finished:


The scale you completed was the "Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire," developed by Thomas G. Plante and Marcus Boccaccini of Santa Clara University.

The scale is a measure of how central a role religion plays in your life, which is something that varies widely, and is sometimes related to other aspects of personality and ideological beliefs. This particular measure of religious belief and practice includes questions designed to tap into different aspects of religious faith and practice. While these different facets of religion are certainly related to one another, they can also be quite independent of one another, and can even vary quite a bit between individuals who consider themselves similarly religious (or nonreligious) on the whole. You can see how those different aspects of religion related to one another in the graph below.

Your Score (in green):



The scale you completed was the "Moral Foundations Questionnaire," developed by Jesse Graham and Jonathan Haidt at the University of Virginia.

The scale is a measure of your reliance on and endorsement of five psychological foundations of morality that seem to be found across cultures. Each of the two parts of the scale contained three questions related to each foundation: 1) harm/care, 2) fairness/reciprocity (including issues of rights), 3) ingroup/loyalty, 4) authority/respect, and 5) purity/sanctity.

The idea behind the scale is that human morality is the result of biological and cultural evolutionary processes that made human beings very sensitive to many different (and often competing) issues. Some of these issues are about treating other individuals well (the first two foundations - harm and fairness). Other issues are about how to be a good member of a group or supporter of social order and tradition (the last three foundations). Haidt and Graham have found that political liberals generally place a higher value on the first two foundations; they are very concerned about issues of harm and fairness (including issues of inequality and exploitation). Political conservatives care about harm and fairness too, but they generally score slightly lower on those scale items. The big difference between liberals and conservatives seems to be that conservatives score slightly higher on the ingroup/loyalty foundation, and much higher on the authority/respect and purity/sanctity foundations.

This difference seems to explain many of the most contentious issues in the culture war. For example, liberals support legalizing gay marriage (to be fair and compassionate), whereas many conservatives are reluctant to change the nature of marriage and the family, basic building blocks of society. Conservatives are more likely to favor practices that increase order and respect (e.g., spanking, mandatory pledge of allegiance), whereas liberals often oppose these practices as being violent or coercive.
In the graph below, your scores on each foundation are shown in green (the 1st bar in each set of 3 bars). The scores of all liberals who have taken it on our site are shown in blue (the 2nd bar), and the scores of all conservatives are shown in red (3rd bar). Scores run from 0 (the lowest possible score, you completely reject that foundation) to 5 (the highest possible score, you very strongly endorse that foundation and build much of your morality on top of it).

The scale you completed was the "Free Will and Determinism Scale," developed by Delroy Paulhus and Jasmine Carey at the University of British Columbia.

Liberals and conservatives seem to disagree in their basic understandings of the causes of human action, particularly of immoral action. Liberals are more likely to believe that social forces, poverty, childhood trauma, or mental illness can serve as valid excuses. Conservatives are more likely to reject such excuses and want to hold people accountable for their actions, including a preference for harsher punishments. At least, that is the way things play out in many disputes in the legal world. We want to see if we can look at this stereotypical difference in more detail. We want to find out WHICH kinds of free will and determinism show a correlation with politics, and with other psychological variables.

The Paulhus scale measures people's attitudes about four constructs related to freedom vs. determinism, which we have graphed for you in the four green bars below.

The first graph shows your score on two measures of belief in determinism:

    Fate: the belief that individuals cannot control their own destinies
    Scientific causation: the belief that people's actions are fully explained by a combination of biological and environmental forces

The second graph shows your score on two subscales about belief in NON-determinism, or freedom:

    Randomness: the belief that some events are truly random, that chance plays a role in human affairs
    Free Will: the degree to which people can truly decide upon their behaviors and are personally responsible for their outcomes.

In the graphs below, your score is shown in green (the first bar in each cluster). The scores of all people who have taken the scale on our site and who described themselves during registration as politically liberal are shown in the blue bars. The scores of people who described themselves as politically conservative are in red. Scores run from 1 (the lowest possible score, least belief in that construct) to 5 (the highest possible score).

I took a few of these tests a while back, guess I should post the results:

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

The scales you completed was based on research by Benson and Spilka (1973) concerning images of God.

The scales measure how much you think of God as unconditionally loving or more strict and judgmental. Different religions portray God as having different characteristics and some emphasize the more loving aspects of God while other religions see God as more of a judge or authority figure.

The idea behind the scale is that people's conceptions of God are likely psychologically motivated, in addition to being based on their faith. Previous research has found that people who consider themselves to be more worthy are more likely to think of God as a more loving figure, whereas those who have less self-regard often consider God to be more judgmental. Individual perceptions of God are also likely to be related to the values that one has, even among people who share the same religious denomination. We are interested in exploring these differences.

The graph below shows your values on these scales with your score (in green) compared to those of the average Liberal (in blue) and the average Conservative (in red) visitor to this website.

1. ". . . reliance on and endorsement of five psychological foundations of morality that seem to be found across cultures."


2. ". . . the degree to which you value each of ten domains that Schwartz has found across many cultures [power/status, achievement/success, hedonism/pleasure, stimulation/challenge, self-direction/independence, universalism/welfare, benevolence/kindness, tradition, conformity, security/harmony]"


3. ". . . the extent to which participants view various kinds of statements . . . as true, false, or as opinions."


4. ". . . how central a role religion plays in your life"


5. ". . . measure of people's beliefs about the six most commonly endorsed principles of distributive justice: distribution based on what will lead to the greatest good for the world as a whole (utilitarianism), market-based distribution (libertarianism), equal distribution (egalitarianism), merit based distribution (equity), distribution according to people's personal needs (no more and no less), and distribution that at the very least satisfies each person's basic needs."

Unsurprisingly, I ended up high on purity and authority and lower on fairness, while somewhat low still on harm. Some of these questions seemed like they were practically tautological.

   
Not much to see here either. While taking this I felt like the answer had better be strongly agree to everything except enjoying being around people of the same faith, which I wouldn’t say matters really, although I clearly do enjoy it as constantly arguing grows wearisome after a while.


I’m a moderate when it comes to meat but not when it comes to pot and casual sex (again not shocking)


Apparently I’m more utilitarian than the Democrats on this one It shows that I care about basic needs but am otherwise moderate on this scale.


Yup, I’m still on the free will train:



This one may be the most ideologically telling as it shows me valuing concepts like tradition and conformity (apparently) as opposed to hedonism and stimulation.



All in all I'd say there are a lot of interesting quizzes on here. So many it can be disorienting even.

I did this one a couple years ago (I don't know if you can retake these under the same account):


Relatively high for harm/care and low for fairness is unsurprising. Authority I think isn't lower than it is due to respect for tradition.  I don't remember what the questions might have been for loyalty or purity, but in a way they make sense.

They asked a number of interesting questions - I would have liked to see more dimensions in the results.

I used the Schwartz!  This one was confusing to me (do I answer with my practice or with my ideals? how do I relate to national security in my personal life?), but here it is anyway:

Free Will - the results reflect that I do not believe in causation, but I also see problems with the concept of free will as typically described. Life is a mystery.
