The Book of Answers

Scoring Judgment Calls

Before proceeding, total your "Yes" answers.

Now, let's take a look at the answers to each question.

  1. The rapist:
  2. The dirty book:
  3. The wiretapping bill:
  4. The satanic game:
  5. The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban:
  6. The after-school club:

Now find your score on the following chart:

  1. Good job. Trust your judgment. Be careful, though; these situations stayed well past the line of acceptability, and this score should not be construed as giving you any extra leave in finding exceptions to moral rules of thumb. Use my formula with caution.
  2. Sorry, you are not fit to use the formula. Be more cautious in the future, and learn to recognize unjustified certainty.
  3. Please limit any restrictions you place upon anyone to situations of obvious and immediate danger. Stepping in front of speeding cars and the like.
  4. Please do not associate with people I care about.
  5. That white sheet looks awfully becoming.
  6. So does your swastika.
  7. Every year, the Albany Rape Crisis Center leads a march at the "Take Back the Night" rally to speak out against abuse and rape. You lead the counter-march.

[Note: The results of this test cannot be taken as absolute, due to the possibly contradictory nature of the subjunctives1, depending upon the traits and situation of the reader.]
