“Psychologist Jonathan Haidt studies the five moral values that form the basis of our political choices, whether we’re left, right or center. In this eye-opening talk, he pinpoints the moral values that liberals and conservatives tend to honor most.”
(Also enjoy the most pompous preroll in all the Internet)

This really helped me to understand some of my liberal leanings.
I very much relate to the measures on purity, fairness and harm.
I probably a little more on the conservative side with regard to ingroup and authority, because I believe that when they are appropriate, they are very appropriate.

I’m going to go take the survey later and see if my instincts are right.
