"My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together." - Desmond Tutu

Attention to moral development helps readers relate the material to their own experience and their own moral growth. Even in our darkest hour, we can see the possibility of a more beautiful world by reimaging ourselves and our systems. It argues that our sense of who we are is an ever-changing response to the world of interpersonal experience, an essential project that is always subject to revision and change.

Each scene addresses a distinct aspect of the human persona: creativity, emotional stability, strong-mindedness, honesty, sociability and more.

After you answer the questions, you'll find comments of a qualified psychologist that will help you interpret your answers with practical explanations.

Acknowledging that human nature has a dark and destructive side, Imagine You Are: Personality Tests about Humanity with Moral and Ethical Dilemmas proposes that we encourage the development of a personal moral imagination that will compel us to refrain from and protest all acts of cruelty.
