Rotary’s 4-Way Test is an ethical guideline that members of Rotary, Rotaract, and Interact Clubs use to assist in the conduct of their personal and professional lives. The 4-Way Test of the things, we think, say, or do are: “Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?”

Developed more than 80 years ago, you can read all about its history at http://bit.ly/4wayTST .
