I got 70%. :erm:

I don't donate because I can't see where that money is going.

I got 100%... but I don't donate regularly- I try to do the work myself by volunteering or by helping people if the situation arises. It's an interesting quiz!

The whole quiz is a thinly veiled attempt to guilt people into donating money to charity.

Make people say repeatedly that they have a moral obligation to help children that cannot help themselves and then try to make them feel bad if they do not donate money to a charity that helps children.

Pathetic.

Seems academic but is very biased hardly something you would even disguise as a scientific study.

Results Summary

•

In your own terms, you are weakly obliged to make a donation to an overseas aid agency within the next few days

•

This is (somewhat) contrary to your claim that you're not obliged to make such a donation

•

As a result of your responses, this activity has put you on the naughty step (you need to stay there for at least half an hour)

Well apparently a priest saved Hitler from drowning so I mean. I'd have to have an on spot vision there and then to save that child. Soz not soz.

I got 100% but I am by no means obligated to donate to any charities however the site claims that I am based on my answers on the test. They were clearly making a comparison between the drowning child and the issues abroad e.g starvation.

Stupid quiz and was obvious what was going on as soon as the foreign child question came up.

70% because I don't believe in donating money to foreign charities.

55% for me. It's a grey area though because in my case I can recognise that I'm morally obligated to do the things but that doesn't necessarily mean that I actually would do them.

Finns can't be vikings! Just like Jews can't be pirates, or paladins

Lmao, the website says I'm strongly obliged to make a donation to an overseas aid agency within the next few days, little does the website know, I'm broke XD.

Told me 100% obligated, but it's 100% wrong. It has made assumptions about why I chose the answers that I did, and they do not hold. I'm not a moral hypocrite! Honest.
