In order to help engineers and scientific students to construct their own ethical thinking, a questionnaire based on sentences extracted from philosophical works belonging to different schools of thoughts has been designed. This paper describes the development of this test (named “What is your conception of ethics?”), and its final refinement. Sentences from 31 authors, representative of ethics of Good, Duty, Utilitarianism, or Modern ethics have been used to build a set of 45 quotations to which students had to give a quick and spontaneous appreciation. The general degree of interest for ethical issues was also recorded, and this exercise lead to the drawing of an individual ethical cartography. A more efficient form of the questionnaire has been finally elaborated on the basis of 30 quotations from 25 authors. Multi-factorial analyses of the sets of data gave detailed information on the types of responses and on the weight of individual quotations in the definition of the profiles. They showed also a link between Good and Duty ethics and positive interest on one hand, and between Utilitarianism and Modern conceptions on the other hand. In our conditions, 40% of the 260 students involved in the testing of the method were shown to be clearly determined for one particular trend, and Duty ethics appeared to be the most popular. This method was found to be attractive, and viewed as a good basis for further discussions and reinforcement of the moral philosophy framework developed during other teaching activities.
