If you are using the paper version of the MCI that appears in this book, you now need to use the following scoring sheet to produce your survey results:
1. Transfer your ratings for each item to the scoring sheet. Your item 1 rating should be placed next to the number “1” in column A. Your rating for item 2 should be placed next to “2” in column B, and so on. Continue until you have transferred your ratings for all 40 items.
2. Add each column and place the total in the box indicated.
3. Add columns A through J and place the total in the box indicated. Columns A through J are subscores for each of the 10 moral competencies discussed in Chapters 5–7.
4. Divide the total from columns A–J (step 3a) by 2 and place in the box indicated. This is your total MC (Moral Competency) score. The maximum MCI score is 100.
5. Using the Moral Competencies Worksheet below the scoring sheet, transfer your scores for each column—A through J—to the corresponding list of competencies listed after each corresponding letter.
______ A. Acting consistently with principles, values, and beliefs
______ B. Telling the truth
______ C. Standing up for what is right
______ D. Keeping promises
______ E. Taking responsibility for personal choices
______ F. Admitting mistakes and failures
______ G. Embracing responsibility for serving others
______ H. Actively caring about others
______ I. Ability to let go of one’s own mistakes
______ J. Ability to let go of others’ mistakes
Your total score is a measure of alignment. If your score is high, it is highly likely that you typically act in ways consistent with your beliefs and goals. If your score is low, it is likely that your typical behavior is out of synch with what you believe and what you want for yourself. Table C.1 shows the distribution of MCI scores from very low to very high.
