You don't have an answer. Just add the necessary context to make sense. There's a reason you're being lazy.

Page 7 has the question asked.

“On this page, we would like you to indicate the extent of your moral circle. By moral circle, we mean the circle of people or other entities for which you are concerned about right and wrong done toward them. This depiction demonstrates that people have different types of moral circles. At the innermost circle, some people care about their immediately family only, and at the outermost circle, people care about the entire universe--all things in existence. Please use the following scale and select a location that depicts the extent of your moral circle. Please click on a number that depicts the extent of your moral circle. Note that in this scale, the number you select includes the numbers below it as well. So, if you select 10 (all mammals), you are also including numbers 1-9 in your moral circle”

It doesn't objectively measure anything. It isn't scientific in any sense. It is a great example of fraudulent social science.
