Is it possible for a person to be morally neutral?

In my own personal experience, I suspect that the vast majority of people are more neutral than good or bad; we seek neither to help others, but, as a rule, we'd prefer to not hurt them, either (or at least not do it ourselves) unless acted upon by an outside force. Working under this assumption tends to explain so much about social psychology that makes no sense when we assume people are simply good or evil.
