Have you ever questioned whether you are a truly good person? Perhaps you’ve caught yourself doing something questionable or immoral and wondered if that makes you inherently evil. Maybe you are just curious to know where you stand.
Whatever your reason, this test is designed to help you determine whether you have a dark side or if you truly are a force for good in the world.

Results
Tally up your answers. If you disagreed with six or more of the ten statements, chances are you have a strong moral compass and tend to make ethical decisions. You are not evil and can feel confident in your goodness.
If you agreed with six or more of the statements, you may have some work to do to improve yourself. These are just tendencies, however, and everyone is capable of change. Try to practice empathy, kindness, and mindfulness in your day-to-day life.
Seek out therapy or counseling if you are struggling to make progress on your own.
Remember, one’s ability to change and improve their behavior is not a reflection of their worth. Recognizing areas where you fall short and seeking to make improvements is a sign of strength and self-awareness.
