Utne had Jason Marsh of Greater Good magazine put together a post listing Five Online Tests to Gauge Your Goodness. I couldn’t take the social intelligence test because my flash isn’t working for unexplained reasons, but besides that, below’s what ensued.

>> I’m generally amoral, but fair about it. The green bars are my scores from the Moral Foundations Questionnaire; blue’s the average liberal, red conservative. Notice I score below both groups on everything except on fairness. If only life were more fair!

>> I am not unconsciously racially prejudiced, at least according to the researchers at Project Implicit who put together tests to test your unconscious biases. Also, I heart Obama. Below’re my results.

>> I can read your face. Below’s my score on the “Mind in the Eyes” test, which tests how accurately you can decipher others’ emotional states. Perhaps my fears about possible thinning in my right cortex were unfounded.

>> I am “somewhat compassionate about other people” according to the Compassionate Love Scale, on which I scored a 3.

>> I am happy for Will Campbell, who is now a big zero, aka finally debt free. I would like to point out, however, that had Will opted for online statements, he would’ve been able to put an extra stamp’s worth of money towards his payments and gotten out of debt somewhat faster while saving some trees :P Seriously though, congrats Will :)

Feel free to share your own scores in the comments –
