Online Hippie Test
Not really. But take it anyway. I was going to put it in bozo but I thought I'd try here first.
Would you kill the fat man?
Your moral consistency score is 100% (higher is better) Well done. This score suggests that you are admirably consistent in the way you view morality. In fact, none of the people who have completed this activity demonstrate greater moral consistency in their responses than you manage. But don't feel too pleased with yourself. Most people don't think about morality very clearly!
To be fair, I cheated on the thingy. But I had to cheat if I wanted my intuitions to remain consistent. 
And if you haven't seen it before, the Monty Hall problem is kinda fun.

I got 100%, but based on accepting some very flawed logic: The Fat Man can stop an oncoming train.

Perfect score for me also. Any other moral conundrums you need solved? I'd be happy to help.

I failed because I like to see fat people get hit by trains.
Sorry. It's the one thing that brings me joy. Don't hate.

That's the reason I passed.

I got 100%. The morality guru is here for all of your answers!

I got 92%, that's still an A- right? I didn't like how the first couple of questions were worded, so I probably answered "inconsistently" on one of those.
Anti, I didn't cheat. I earned my score. Do I have to pay a special tax for that?

Your response that the fat man should be tortured is in direct contradiction with your earlier claim that torture is always wrong. However, it does make sense in terms of some of the other responses you have given. In particular, on at least one occasion you have responded that it would be right to end the life of one person to save the lives of some other greater number of people. It would be strange then if you did not think it might sometimes be right to torture a person if by doing so it might be possible to save all those people whose lives would otherwise be lost in a nuclear explosion. Perhaps then you should revisit your blanket opposition to torture.
Is torture always wrong? Yes. But that only means that sometimes you have to choose between two wrong answers. Like Democrat or Repblican.
