The 4-Way Test is a cornerstone of Rotary International’s ethical framework. It consists of four questions that Rotarians use to guide their personal and professional conduct. The 4-Way Test is as follows:

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

These questions are intended to help Rotarians make decisions that uphold the principles of honesty, fairness, goodwill, and mutual benefit.
