Morals.

YOUR LOW DESIRE TO AVOID
is the most significant feature of your results

YOUR LOW DESIRE TO AVOID

is the most significant feature of your results

I've just done a 'morality test' from the BBC website.  Interesting stuff.  There were five headings, and my results show:

Your sense of wrongness is higher than average

Whatever that might mean...  I guess I think more stuff is wrong than other people do...  It tells me I'm 'probably less tolerant of moral wrongs'.  

Your sense of anger is higher than average

Uh, that's pretty self-explanatory.  Morally questionable behaviour angers me.

Your sense of disgust is lower than average

Personally, I wonder if this comes from a sense of, 'there, but for the Grace of God, go I'.  I've seen enough people screwing life up to know that it's not restricted to any one class/age/race/category of people.  I'm a huge fan of Casting Crowns at the moment.  This is a chunk from their song, 'Slow Fade'.  

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

Sure, what people do might technically disgust me, but they probably didn't wake up one morning and think, 'I'm going to act in a morally abhorent way today'.  It's a long journey, and every day I need to make sure I'm not making it!

Your desire to avoid is lower than average

I was actually quite pleased with this one.  It made me think of One who I try each day to follow, who tended to hang out with society's disgusters.  Given that I want to be like Him, I figure it's nice to see that there's a trait that I might be heading in the right direction on.

 Your desire to punish is lower than average

I think this is similar to the 'disgust' thing.  I'm all for rehabilitation, because it seems to mesh most strongly with the idea of forgiveness.  

What do you think?
