This quiz is based on multiple, well-documented studies and timeless ethical dilemmas. There are no right or wrong answers. Each option is absolutely valid and personal. Our goal is to bring attention to how we can prepare for moral challenges and sharpen our ethical responses.

Are you ready to get started? *

You run into a store to grab a few things after a long day. The only open checkout line is very long and very slow. You finally get to your car with your purchases and realize that an item fell in between others and wasn’t scanned. What do you do?

Go home. It’s a small thing and no one will notice. Stores budget for losses and you are hardly a criminal.

Pay extra the next time you are in the store to make up for it.

Walk all the way back in and stand in line to pay for the item. No one will know or care but you.

You are in line at a store and hear someone yelling at the cashier, calling them names and threatening to get them fired. The cashier is young and in tears. Everyone in line is clearly uncomfortable. What do you do?

Stay out of it. People are mean nowadays and customer service is the worst.

When it’s your turn, you tell the cashier how sorry you are that some people are jerks and that it will be okay.

Leave the line and walk straight to the front. Tell the angry customer to calm down or leave the store. If they want a fight, better with you than an innocent kid.

You know that a family member has committed a crime. You also know that the police will not follow up or find out. There is an anonymous tip line and a reward. What do you do?

Call and give the police undeniable evidence. But you disguise your voice so that your family never knows that it was you.

Choose to go in and tell the police personally and collect the reward. You use it to help the people that were affected.

Do nothing. It’s not your place to judge anyone nor do the police’s work for them.

It’s 1930s Germany and you are in a dark alley where an old man is being brutally beaten by thugs. Everyone leaves the alley but you, the unconscious old man and the gang leader you recognize as a young Adolph Hitler. You, a Jew, have a knife and there are no witnesses. What would you do?

Turn around and walk out of the alley. It’s not your place to interfere in history.

Grab and shake young Adolph. Try to talk him out of his future course. Tell him that he can do better, be better.

Kill him for the greater good. Anything to stop the Holocaust from happening.

You are at a busy restaurant with friends. It is the end of the month and you order only an appetizer because money is tight. You go to the restroom. No one is in there, but someone has left a fat wallet on the counter. No one will ever know if you take it.

Take it to the manager immediately. Someone will be looking for it. Acting fast helps you avoid temptation.

Leave it there. Surely someone will come back for it. Not your problem.

Take the cash and leave the credit cards. No permanent damage but a big help to you.

You want to post something online that you know isn’t precisely true, but it might as well be. You need to make a point and this supports your argument. Besides, it’s really funny. There’s no way to disprove it anyway. What do you do?

Start the post with “In my opinion,” or “As I see it,” to cover yourself in case someone challenges it. Post anonymously.

It’s social media and you have freedom of speech. Go ahead and post it. Most things online aren’t true anyway.

Don’t post it. There is no point. Erase it and close the screen.

Is the law always moral? What about slavery? What about escaping persecution? Or protecting someone else who does? What about stealing food if your children are hungry? What about parking in a handicapped space if you are running late?

Some things are bigger than the law. Right and wrong is a personal decision. No matter what the law says.

If the law says you can do it, then no one can tell you that’s it’s wrong. No penalty means no crime.

You are mindful about what you do and how it affects others. The law may not always be right, but it is a vital starting point.

Your family is running from a natural disaster. You see a lone baby crying on the side of the road, obviously separated from its family. It will take time to untangle it from debris. What do you do?

You tell your family to keep going but you stop to help. You could not live with leaving a baby to die alone.

You ask your family to help free the child knowing that it will slow you all down. We will find its family later.

You keep going. Your responsibility is to save your own family.

You have escaped a sinking ship in the middle of the ocean. You find the last space on a very full lifeboat. Others are struggling to climb into your boat. What do you do?

Stay quiet. Let someone else be in charge and make that decision.

Reach out and pull them in until you are almost sinking, telling others to do the same.

Push them away. Life is unfair but you have to stay alive.

You are driving across a large bridge. A car speeds past you in the outside lane, weaving in and out of traffic. The driver is texting and doesn’t look up when you repeatedly honk. If not stopped immediately, it will hit construction workers and a school bus ahead. What do you do?

Slow down so that you are not involved in the crash. Watch the horror unfold.

Speed up and swerve in front of the car while braking, knowing that you will be hit but will have saved the children and workers.

Swerve into the car and push it off the bridge, potentially killing the distracted driver but saving the children and workers.
