In Kohlberg's interviews, a person's moral stage was judged mainly from:

AWhether the choice was legal
BThe reasons given for a choice
CHow fast the person answered
DThe final yes or no answer
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The reasons given for a choice
1. Kohlberg gave people moral dilemmas such as the Heinz dilemma. 2. He scored the form of the reasoning, not the decision itself. 3. Two people can give the same answer at different stages, so the reasons decide the stage. **Why not the others:** The final yes or no answer is the common trap: Kohlberg explicitly set the conclusion aside. _Source: Wikipedia, "Lawrence Kohlberg's stages of moral development", section "introduction" (revision 1376737595)_
