WHAT'S YOUR ETHICS SCORE?

Ethics is about how we treat each other every day. It's about “the little stuff” as well as the big issues of insider trading, AIDS, and influence peddling.

The purpose of this quiz is to present some ideas for discussion. There are no right or wrong answers. Feel free to use the information to invoke conversations with your peers and your employees. Take the quiz yourself, and then ask others to rate you. It is easy to deceive yourself. Be tough and honest.

Give yourself a score from one to ten on each of the following questions. As you answer the questions, think of specific examples of your own behavior.
