[{"data":1,"prerenderedAt":-1},["ShallowReactive",2],{"content-seo:trolleyDilemma":3},{"description":4,"seo":5,"faq":8},"The trolley problem began as a thought experiment. In 1967 the British philosopher Philippa Foot described a runaway trolley heading for five people, and in 1976 the American philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson named it the \"trolley problem\" and went on to develop variants such as the footbridge case. This test gives you 16 dilemmas, from the classic lever and the loop track to a promise you made, crushing tiredness and an annoying boss, all told without graphic harm.\n\nFor each dilemma you pick A or B, then see an estimated split of how people tend to answer. Those percentages are reference values set for this test, not live votes or survey data. Your utilitarianism score is the share of your 16 picks where you chose the option with the bigger overall benefit, such as saving more people. 0–19% is the Rule-Keeper, 20–39% Principle-First, 40–59% the Balancer, 60–79% Outcome-First and 80–100% the Cold Calculator.\n\nThe score only describes whether you weighed rules or outcomes more in these scenarios. It does not measure how moral you are, and no answer is right or wrong.",{"ogTitle":6,"ogDescription":7},"Trolley Problem Test: 16 Dilemmas, Your Utilitarian Score - Giggleus","Pull the lever or not?
