I've run across Haidt's work before and think it's a pretty useful framework for understanding how humans think about moral questions.
I did find the survey kind of frustrating - most of the questions were really too vague. I guess they want to measure our gut reaction to the core principle at stake in each question (say, 'authority') but my reaction is that, well, it depends on the situation. These five pillars are historically and evolutionarily important to us for a reason, but it's hard to apply them without any real context.
