CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Any questions left?
What does this questionnaire measure?
It assesses the relative importance of five moral domains used in everyday judgment: care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity. Results describe patterns of moral priorities rather than right or wrong answers.
How should the items be answered?
Select the response option that best matches typical views or reactions. Answer each item independently and avoid overthinking individual statements.
How long does it take and how many items are included?
Completion time is about 6 minutes. The questionnaire contains 30 items.
What do higher scores in a domain mean?
Higher scores indicate that the domain is given greater weight when evaluating actions and social issues. Lower scores indicate that the domain is less central in moral judgment.
Can results be used to diagnose a mental disorder or determine character?
No, results are not intended for clinical diagnosis or for labeling personality or character. They are used to describe moral emphasis and to support research or structured discussion.

Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) Test
This measure is designed to assess individual differences in moral concerns that may guide social judgments and interpersonal evaluations. The Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) is commonly used in research and applied assessment to characterize patterns of endorsement across several proposed moral domains.
The instrument includes 30 items and takes about 6 minutes to complete. Respondents rate the relevance of different considerations and indicate agreement with statements reflecting moral priorities. Scores are typically examined as domain-specific profiles rather than a single global index. The Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) was developed by J. Graham, J. Haidt, and C. Joseph and is intended to support descriptive comparisons across individuals or groups in contexts such as social, personality, and political psychology.
