Once again I have a big problem with this test, If they had replaced "obligated" with "morally good" I would have given significantly different answers to some questions, For example the circumstance where the doctor has a choice of saving his ten current patients at the cost of a hundred others, or saving a hundred others and neglecting his current patients - I believe that in this Dilemma it would be Morally Good to chose to save the hundred over the ten, but is the doctor somehow Obligated to make that decision? Absolutely not.

Yeah, I understood what they wanted because I'm familiar with this type of test, but they should have worded that differently. I felt that the "strongly" and "weakly" options were a bit strange too. It seems to me that a thing is either moral, or it is not.

"As if that blind rage had washed me clean, rid me of hope; for the first time, in that night alive with signs and stars, I opened myself to the gentle indifference of the world. Finding it so much like myself—so like a brother, really—I felt that I had been happy and that I was happy again." — Albert Camus, "The Stranger"

I scored 88%. I think I misunderstood one question. However, it is one thing to know the difference between right & wrong and another to be able to act in reality.
