I took a similar test a while back... I ended up scoring what might be regarded as "textbook liberal", ranking "harm" and "fairness" important, "loyalty" and "authority" unimportant, and "purity" not important at all. One thing I thought the test failed to capture is that I do think "loyalty" and "authority" are important, but as means rather than as ends in themselves; they help human societies function, but it seems to me to be more moral to betray your loyalties and ignore authorities when the alternative is to let them lead you into evil.
