Are you an ethical person? Here's a test from the Josephson Institute of Ethics, www.josephsoninstitute.org.
1. You apply for a job you want very much. You're sure you can do it well, but unless you make some untrue statements, the job will go to someone else. Would you "enhance" your résumé?
2. Your 12-year-old could get into a much better school if you lived in your sister's school district. She offers to let you use her address to enroll your child. Would you do it?
3. A health insurance application asks about previous injuries. If you admit to any, premiums would go up $50 a month. Would you hide them?
4. The bill at a posh restaurant shows a $60 error in your favor. A friend suggests you say nothing but leave a large tip. Would you do it?
5. Your 13-year-old looks 11. You could save $14 at an amusement park if you say he is younger than 13. Would you do it?
6. You badly need a loan that you will get only if you understate what you owe. Would you do it?
7. The auto body repairman offers to fix damages not caused by your recent collision as part of your insurance claim. Would you do it?
