Morality Light-Dark Scale – There is a scale called the Bortle Light–Dark Scale that measures night sky brightness. I ask, “What if we had a scale that measured morality brightness-darkness?” Maybe it can be another way we can demonstrate a Moral Core Continuum. The Morality Light-Dark Scale is a nine point scale from 1 to 9. At the far left of the scale (# 1) is the individual who acts without conscience; a truly evil person. At the middle of the scale (# 5) is the individual with gray morality, ambivalent morality, societal expectation morality. At the far right of the scale (# 9) is the person who judges his or her actions on a highly developed conscience. The numbers (#’s 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8) are rated according to the position occupied on the scale. Does such a self-reporting scale have validity?
