Global Ethics Quiz


PURPOSE OF THE SURVEY: Results of this survey will be used to develop a free online course or presentations one or more of the following sites: Mindtools.net, WiZiQ.com, TeachThePeople.com (Global Business Ethics Community).

Your answers are posted anonymously in a chart, visible only to me (Anthony Birch, webmaster for Mindtoos.net). I will use the chart as data to develop course materials. General results of the survey will be posted from time to time at http://teachingbe.blogspot.com (please check this blog only AFTER completing the survey).

WHAT DO YOU GAIN BY TAKING THE SURVEY? This survey has several questions that will help stimulate your thinking about ethical issues. After you take the survey, a feedback page will be displayed. The feedback page will help you learn more about yourself and also give you some insights into ethical theories. The survey provides a map to commonly-held impressions, ideas, and impulses to pre-existing moral theories. Questions DO NOT have RIGHT/WRONG answers. Just answer honestly what you think would be the BEST answer, based on your reflections and/or personal experience.

PROCEDURE: Enter a "Screen Name" (not your real name) below. The Screen Name is used only to record answers. It is not used to add you to a mailing list or to track individual users. You may use any Screen Name (such as "Bob1289a") that you are sure will not be duplicated by anyone else.
Complete the quiz by clicking on the appropriate radio buttons and filling in the blank (if desired). When you complete the Quiz, click Grade Quiz and you will be shown comments/feedback. There are no "right" answers! This survey will be used to develop content for a course.

NOTE: if you sign in and then click Grade Quiz without filling in any answers, just to see the feedback, this defeats the purpose of the survey and will "contaminate" your honest first impressions. Nevertheless, if you still want to record your responses after seeing the "answers", just sign in again with a different name. Only the first set of answers under any given screen name is recorded.
Screen Name (not your real name):

1: Two men in a rowboat in the middle of the ocean with food enough only to save one; one is a genius working on a cure for cancer, the other is quite ordinary; whom do you save?
The genius
Decide by flipping a coin
Share the food and hope for a miracle
2: What is the single most important character trait for everyone in business? (Try to state this in one word. For example: wisdom, justice, temperance, courage, faith, hope, charity, humility, truthfulness -- or another of your choice.)

3: The voice of God is speaking to you, and you are quite certain it really is God. God says: I am going to give you two statements and you must pick the true one or risk damnation. The first statement is: slavery is wrong. The second statement is: the ultimate material constituents of the world are string-like entities vibrating in space-time; in other words, physicists' contemporary string theory is true.
I choose statement ONE.
I choose statement TWO.
4: Submit any comment or question you have in this space. Is there a question you would like to see in the survey? You will not get an individual answer, but constructive comments will be used to improve the survey.
