'Morality Play'

RE: 'Morality Play'
100% for me.

This is basically what was being tested, your inclination to weigh circumstances in making moral decisions. 100% parsimony means that your morality is based on principle, not circumstance.

Another morality play I read goes something like this:

Your spouse is dying of a rare disease. A researcher has developed a cure that is not yet available anywhere else. The researcher wants more than you could possibly pay for the cure. Do you steal the cure or let your spouse die, and what is your moral justification.

There is no right or wrong answer, these are tests to determine your approach to morality in general.
