My Morals

There's an interesting website, YourMorals.Org, where they're trying to understand people's morality.  It's run by a bunch of academics studying psychology.  They offer numerous questionnaires dealing with various issues.  This month's offerings include questions about:

--What do you find disgusting and how does it relate to morality?

--What type of city would you like to live in?

--What is your attitude on crime and punishment?

--Compare your values on 10 dimensions from hedonism to benevolence.

--What is your "style"' of relating in romantic/love relationships, and how does that relate to morality?

Unfortunately, in their desire for rigor, they demand you register before you answer any questions.  Even though they promise privacy, I generally prefer not to register at websites.  So it occurred to me, are their results going to be skewed because their samples will be missing paranoid people like me?

Can't you just make up stuff in the registration process? Cool- you have to lie to get your morals measured.

I guess that skews things further
