You know, the weirdest thing about this is that it took me a while to work it out, looking at the little 'evil-good' scale. This is because I instinctively believed 'good' should be on the right, and 'evil' on the left. It still looks really weird to me. This, for me is apparently much more instinctive than the idea that 'good=white/evil=black'. (Disclaimer: none of this has anything to do with my political leanings!) I wonder whether it has anything to do with being right-handed? Maybe the quiz was created by a left-handed person!
I can't be bothered to do the actual quiz - I'm off to have a bath.
I read it as a sliding scale from good to bad. Using the Western direction of reading from left to right. So you start at the left (good) and end at the right (evil). Basically, this quiz is based on the philosophy of childhood as innocence corrupted a la Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
'tis deep, this quiz is.
Now, your own presupposition seems to be (still continuing along the line of reading from left to right) that we all start out evil and must struggle over to the good! More of a Biblical, Fall from Grace type of conception.
Hah! I am so good I see deep redemption even in inane quizzes wot spell the word 'vegetarian' wrong. *glows with goodness*
