Many aspects of personality are related to morality. Many aspects of behavior are influenced by moral motives. And many conflicts and misunderstandings are driven by differences in morality.
This link http://www.yourmorals.org/ takes you to a Series of Psychological/Moral/Political Tests that are quite interesting in helping on define one's self as Conservative vs. Liberal, Moral vs. Immoral. I took the tests and was surprised at the results. I was not really the "label"I had given myself.
This does go back to Previous Points I was trying to make, is that many terms, Conservative, Liberal, Fascist, Socialist are being hurled back and forth across our Political and Moral Battlegrounds. I still believe that most of the foot soldiers and many of the Leaders do not know or use these terms correctly.
Check this site out..and learn a little about yourself. They were developed by Jonathan Haidt, a University of Virginia Scholar featured in a UTNE Reader Article "Liberals Aren't Un-American. Conservatives Aren't Ignorant. : The Demonization that mars our politics is a failure of moral imagination."

Very interesting quizzes. I just took one and I was surprised at the outcome. When I get a little more free time I'll go back and take another.
Cool stuff, Doc!
I know, I will have to change my Liberal Label to "Moderate"
