Please - State your Gender

Male, alpha!

The current educational level you are studying for or highest attained.

PhD in.... let's call it science

Your religious beliefs(denomination of Christianity if applicable) / If not religious then whether atheist or agnostic

Agnostic atheist, level 6 in Dawkins scale... interpret that as you wish...

How strong you consider these beliefs from 1-9 (9 highest)

I don't believe.

Do your parents have any religious beliefs?

yes, a bit...

To what extent do you think they influenced you morally? (1-9)

My parents? a lot!
My parent's beliefs? very little if none.

To what extent do you agree with the following statements from 1-9 (9 completely agree)
"Different types of morality cannot be compared as to 'rightness.'
1.... meaning I don't understand the statement... I'd never make such a statement

Rigidly codifying an ethical position that prevents certain types of actions could stand in the way of better human relations and adjustment.

Whether a lie is judged to be moral or immoral depends upon the circumstances surrounding the action.
8

No rule concerning lying can be formulated; whether a lie is permissible or not permissible totally depends upon the situation.
8

What is ethical varies from one situation and society to another.
7... somethings, yes... others, no

If an action could harm an innocent other, then it should not be done.
8, shouldn't, but sometimes it's necessary

Deciding whether or not to perform an act by balancing the positive consequences of the act against the negative consequences of the act is immoral.
2, it is logical... the needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few

Please answer yes or no to these situations.

1.You are standing on a bridge when an out-of-control mining cart comes into view. You can see 5 workers on the track who you suppose will be instantly killed unless you push a large rock off the bridge to stop the cart. However if you do this the cart driver will be killed. Do you push the rock?
Yes, split second decisions are crap, maybe the cart has no driver, I have shortsightedness
2.This time instead of a rock there is a large man you could push. He and the cart driver will die but 5 workers will survive. Do you push the man?
No, he's large, I'm not.... This wouldn't end well for me
3. In a separate instance you can throw yourself in front of the cart, killing you and the cart driver but 5 workers will survive. Do you jump?
No, I'd yell for the workers to get into cover... If there is anything I could do with a rock, or my own body, then sound could reach them much faster
leading to no loss of life
