This measure is designed to assess moral reasoning and the development of values-based judgments in applied settings. The Moral Development Assessment provides a brief, structured approach to estimating an individual’s level of moral development based on responses to standardized prompts.

The instrument includes 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. It may be used to support clinical, educational, or organizational decision-making by describing patterns of ethical judgment and consistency in moral reasoning, with interpretation integrated with other assessment data and contextual information.

The Moral Development Assessment is commonly associated with frameworks described by Lawrence Kohlberg and James Rest.
