  Not everything follows a standard distribution model. In fact, since some psychological tests are designed to return a standard distribution result, if the traits do not occur in the population along a standard distribution, the psychological tests are designed in a way which will give inaccurate results.

  Despite being called normal, not as much as you would think follows a normal distributon. But if your main point is that there is some mean value of ethicalness and 50% fall above and below that value then I suppose there's not much to argue about there.

    *median. It is commonplace for more or less than 50% to fall below the mean.

      It's also common for more or less than 50% to fall below the median. The average M&M fun size package has 15 M&Ms (mode, median=15; mean=15.02). Only 25.6% have fewer than that. As fumeux_fume stated earlier, not everything follows a normal distribution. Since morality is socially mediated, I think it's reasonable to hypothesize it would tend to be N-modal.
