Then you just answer it as 'morally acceptable', if you don't think there's a moral dimension to the question.
You've just reminded me of the other problem why I didn't like the test: I am getting a lot of questions, out of context, in which I have to rate situations along the following scale: -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3
I don't get to see the others to compare how good or bad things are, relative to each other.
Interesting test. Still a little bit of awkward wording and/or lack of context as usual, but otherwise much better than the old political compass.
Your scores are:
Nurture 87.5%
Tradition 40.7%
Liberty 72.2%
Your strongest moral foundation is Nurture.
Your morality is closest to that of a Left-Liberal.
I found the relative comparisons to other respondents interesting. Put me right where I expected on the Liberty score, wedged between Left-Liberal and Conservative. Somehow more nurturing than average LL though? I think it was the numerous questions that boiled down to people being unnecessarily and casually rude and/or cruel. I mean, there were like 8 of those.

Well, for classical liberals.Modern liberals are very into the authority-command and control thing.
I've never heard of one who is.

Of course you haven't. Authoritarians, to the modern media, to the academy, to the modern mind, bring to mind Darth Vader, or Hitler. They're obvious. They wear military uniforms, they have personality cults, etc. But tyranny can be soft and subtle. It can hide itself in warm, pastel-walled offices, in daring blazers-hung-over-a-peace-sign t-shirts. The supporters of modern tyranny have no idea they are supporting an authoritarian structure. They believe every variety of tax is simply 'fair share', and justify confiscating half a person's wealth automatically on that basis. They believe people have no rights other than those which the 'government', which is to say the people in power, find it more convenient to tolerate than to disallow. Thus property is a myth, and all levels of 'government' can dictate to people exactly how they can use their property, how to run their business, how to keep their homes. If their children enjoy the outside world unattended, then hello Child Protective Services. Etc.
I speak as someone who used to be a progressive, someone who read the Frankfurt School devotedly. I came to realize, however, while studying the life of Gandhi, that the aggressive control of other people's lives, even in the pursuit of justice, was morally wrong. I believe in progress, but it must be voluntary; I believe in justice, but it must be achieved through cooperation, not coercion. I believe in order, but it must be sustained from throughout society, not imposed from the top down.

The J is the only one who outpeforms my nurture score.

Points to consider for people with your personality - have you ever:
Chased after something completely new and untried because it stimulated your imagination, only to find that there were very good practical reasons that this particular solution had never been tried?
Found yourself unable to focus because you were on such an intellectual high that you positively wanted to do everything at once?
Driven others to exhaustion by seeking out argument and controversy, possibly even arguing both sides of a case just for the fun of it? (especially this
Found yourself unable "to leave well enough alone," always having to tinker and push against the boundaries just to see what would happen?
"Sweated the small stuff" and forgotten about important things like flight times, tax returns, and subscription renewals simply because you could not be bothered to deal with the nitty-gritty of practical matters?

That's the test that gave me arugula/rocket. I got Thomas Jefferson/like arugula. Did it again giving opposite answers and got LBJ/dislike arugula.

Your scores are:
Nurture 58.3%
Tradition 75%
Liberty 66.7%
Your strongest moral foundation is Tradition.
Your morality is closest to that of a Conservative.
Conservatism: Individuals in this group seek to retain the traditional social and economic order and to uphold the sovereignty of the state. They tend to see themselves as the defenders of what their forebears would have wanted, favoring strict immigration laws, traditional values, and a strong military. While they typically see a role for the state in matters of national security and culture, they tend to be more skeptical of state involvement in the economy. Conservatives typically have a balanced morality where all three foundations are represented in (roughly) equal proportions.
