The Defining Issues Test (DIT) is a psychological assessment tool developed by moral psychologist James Rest in the 1970s. It is designed to measure an individual's moral reasoning and ethical decision-making abilities. The DIT assesses how people prioritize moral issues and the reasoning they use for their decisions in morally ambiguous situations. The test typically presents respondents with a series of moral dilemmas, asking them to consider various perspectives and the importance of different ethical principles in resolving these dilemmas.
