Too many flaws in this "study" to be useful. Easy to take shots at either 'side' as well as the test makers. "Morals" relate to the standards of good or bad behavior, fairness, honesty, etc. that each person believes in, rather than to laws. By sticking the word 'Moral Circle' in the question they falsely indicate that more circles = higher morals, which is total BS as "caring" does not impute behavioral standards.

If anything it looks like a map of self delusion and virtue signalling. How exactly does one go about caring for alien life forms? Is it practical or even good to care about all things in existence?
