A criminal breaks into your house and attacks your family. You manage to overpower them. You have the choice to let them escape or restrain them in a way that may seriously harm them.
Sorry, but no one hurts family without getting a decent payback first
A fire breaks out in a building. You can save either a stranger or someone you know who has wronged you deeply.
Your friend is convinced their partner is cheating and asks you to spy on them.
You’re a surgeon with one available transplant organ. You must choose between a 70-year-old scientist who may discover a cure for a major disease or a 19-year-old student with a long life ahead.
A distant relative leaves you an inheritance that actually belongs to another family member who was cut out of the will unfairly.
Really surprised this is so close. The relative chose you for a reason. Take the money but don’t tell anyone you received it.
You witness a teenager vandalizing a memorial site. They look shaken and regretful.
You witness a stranger collapse on the street. Helping them will make you miss a once-in-a-lifetime job interview.
Helping another person in an emergency situation has priority over a job. Jobs come and go, death is eternal
You’re on a jury. Everyone believes the accused is guilty, but you secretly have doubts that no one else shares. A guilty verdict means life in prison.
You learn your child has been bullying another kid so severely that the school is considering expulsion. Your child begs you to lie for them.
Bullying is wrong, in any form. Covering up for the chid will only make them a bigger narcissistic bully in the future, and in time they could turn on you too
You’re hiking with a group and someone slips off a cliff edge. You can save them, but doing so may drag you down too.
A team member at work is clearly having a mental breakdown but insists they’re “fine.” You’re the only one who noticed.
A teacher accidentally gives you access to the test answers before a huge exam. No one else sees it.
Delete it and inform the teacher. They will appreciate your honesty.
Your partner wants children, and you absolutely don’t. They assume you’ll change your mind.
A coworker is about to be blamed for a mistake you made. Speaking up puts your job at risk.
You discover your parents have been lying about a huge family secret for decades. Confronting them would tear the family apart.
Your sibling needs an organ transplant and you’re a match. The surgery is risky and could permanently damage your health.
A stranger sends you a large sum of money by mistake. The bank won’t notice. Legally, you don’t have to return it.
Your teenage child wants to drop out of school to pursue something extremely risky. They are determined.
Your sibling wants to disconnect your unconscious parent from life support. You believe your parent might recover.
You can't ask a yes-or-no question like that and expect to get an answer that will be true under every circumstance. Is the parent elderly? What was their quality of life before they were hooked up to life support? Would they be in pain afterward even if they recover? Would they have brain damage? What are the *parent's* wishes?
Your friend wants to adopt a child, but you know they’re not emotionally ready for parenthood. The agency asks for your honest opinion.
Your company offers you a promotion, but you must fire two people you know are hardworking and innocent.
My son had a similar dilemma, but regarding salary amounts. He discovered that a woman he was training to do his job would be getting significantly less than he was, even though just as qualied. He challenged hus bosses. They said it was none of his business. He thought it was, and they BOTH resigned in protest.
You uncover evidence that your town’s only factory is poisoning the water supply. Exposing it saves lives but leaves hundreds jobless.
At a wedding, you overhear the groom admitting he’s unsure about marrying the bride. She’s your close friend.
You witness someone secretly filming women at a beach without consent.
Your partner asks you to lie and say you’re sick to skip a family event they don’t want to attend. The family will think it’s serious.
A student in your class plagiarized an essay and is about to win a major scholarship for it.
Your partner’s sibling admits to cheating on their spouse and begs you to keep it a secret. You’re close to the spouse.
Your friend wants to borrow a large amount of money you know they won’t repay. Refusing may ruin the friendship.
You’re driving and accidentally scratch a parked car. No cameras, no witnesses, minor damage.
Not necessarily going to say what is in the note..... But these days I have enough money that I would be honest. Have done the one time that happened.
You find out your cousin has been illegally working under someone else’s identity to survive. Reporting it means deportation.
I know these sort of questions have to be black and white, the reality is though, in life, in circumstances like the above, there will be grey areas.
Right? I like the quizzes (my inner teenage girl always loved/loves quizzes 🤣) but I can count on one hand the questions I could answer without saying "well, this needs more information, but given this is all I have, I guess I'll pick this..."
Load More Replies...Most questions lack the information needed to answer them at all. So I skipped the whole quiz

Load More Replies...Which sibling and what impact on my health? Will helping compromise my ability to support my own spouse and children? What kind of family secret? Why does the friend need the money? What is the prognosis for my parent, what does the doctor say, is this a real thing or false hope? Why do I believe they aren't guilty, is it a gut feeling or something supported by evidence? The most difficult decisions in life aren't black and white, they are grey and they require context.
