Reflection tests
Ten to twelve questions, a percent score, and a note on how to read it. The library stays open without an account.
The Trolley Problem
Switch, footbridge, loop, and transplant. A higher percent means you were more willing to trade one life for several, including when the one is used as a means.
Thomson on Bodily Rights
The violinist, people-seeds, and what a right to life does not include. A higher percent gives more weight to Thomson's style of argument.
Ship of Theseus
What makes you the same person after the parts are replaced? A higher percent trusts psychological continuity. The low end trusts the body. The middle thinks identity is not a further fact.
Free Will and Determinism
Whether you could have done otherwise in a way the universe did not already fix. The middle band is compatibilism: freedom that survives a determined world.
The Experience Machine
Nozick's offer: every experience you value, none of it real. A higher percent means you refuse. Contact with reality did the work.
Veil of Ignorance
Rawls's device: choose a society before you know who you will be in it. A higher percent leans toward protecting the worst off and locking in basic liberties.
Pascal's Wager
A decision-theory argument for belief: infinite payoff, finite cost, uncertain evidence. A higher percent means the wager moved you.
Virtue Ethics
Whether the center of morality is the kind of person an act expresses, rather than a rule or a total. A higher percent leans that way.
Stoic Resilience
The dichotomy of control, practiced without pretending that grief is a failure. A higher percent is that practice, not numbness.
