Ethics Quiz

October 10th, 2006

Here are the results of the ethics quiz I took. I figured I’d be more Platonic, but I’m intrigued that John Stuart Mill was in the top five. I have an idea of which question resulted in this. It most likely has to do with my distinction between objective moral values and absolute moral values. Yes, there is a distinction. (HT: Patrik)
