The Four-Way Test has been used by Rotarians for over sixty years as a guideline for moral and ethical standards in business, community and personal affairs. The Four Way test asks four questions of the things we think, say or do - Is it the Truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
