I don't know if I can embed that, but if I can and someone wants to help me out there that'd be great, never really tried it before.
Basically it's a lecture from a UVA psychologist at TED (annual congregation of lecturers, produces some pretty neat stuff) that splits a person's morals into five parts: harm/care, fairness/reciprocity, ingroup/loyalty, authority/respect, and purity. Some of the definitions are a little sketchy to me, but that's to be expected of any cerebral simplification like that really. Either way, it's a pretty interesting lecture and I recommend it to anyone who has the time (it's about twenty minutes long).
Anyway, he's also set up a site, www.yourmorals.org, which has the quiz he mentioned (as well as, like, twenty more). You have to register to get to it, though. It's a little overly basic, but it makes for some interesting comparisons all the same.

I'm thinking my fairness should be higher and my loyalty a little lower, as usual I kind of rushed through it and it won't let me take it again without reregistering (which would kind of be unethical, considering).
