What guides your sense of right and wrong? The Moral Foundations Questionnaire-2 (MFQ-2), a 36-statement questionnaire by moral psychologists Mohammad Atari, Jonathan Haidt, Jesse Graham and colleagues, looks at six moral foundations: Care, Equality, Proportionality, Loyalty, Authority and Purity. It takes about six minutes and shows which values you weigh most. It is a values questionnaire, not a diagnosis, and it does not place you in any group.
