The Moral Sense Test

Eric Schwitzgebel (UCR) and Fiery Cushman (Harvard) are conducting a new version of the 'Moral Sense Test' in which participants are asked to make moral judgments about hypothetical scenarios. They are particularly interested in recruiting participants with philosophy degrees so that they can compare the responses of philosophers with those of non-philosophers. The test is available here and takes about 15 minutes.
