Nothing what so ever to do with driving

A friend is looking for people to complete a survey on moral decisions based on political allegiance for her daughter's dissertation. If you can spare 10 minutes she'll be very grateful

Done, although I had to resist my tendency to deliberately bias my answers to suit the preconceptions in the questions. Unfortunately, all it showed is that my beliefs don't align perfectly with any political party, which is how I answered the allegiance question. So probably the equivalent of a spoiled paper :)

Is political allegiance is based on voting history or something more specific? I bailed out at the first table of multi-choice as the questions invited simplistic answers but for each one I wanted to have an it depends option.

I agree, that like so many surveys, we sometimes want an "it depends" answer, and, in my opinion, some of those answers probably have nothing to do with political opinion/allegiance.

But thank you for giving up your time to look at it

Agreed. However, I completed the questionnaire purely on the grounds of wishing to encourage the undergraduates in their research. We all know that the results will be meaningless. The hope must be that the researchers will learn from their initial faltering efforts that the search for the meaning of life, the universe and everything is a far more complex process than can be determined from the muddled answers to a series of superficial and not particularly intelligent questions. :o :o :o

You are over exaggerating.

The answer is 42.
