Abstract: This study is to test the assumption that the ability of moral judgement of adoles cents is closely related to their intellectual levels. The subjects were required to make judgement of the moral behavior of characters described in a written text. Considerable number of adolescents have shown the ability to make judgement based on the nature of the moral deed, they are able to analyse the concrete situations and to discriminate between matters of primary importance and matters of secondary importance. Marked individual differences in moral judgement were also noticed.
