I think trying to judge morality by anything other than actions is probably the wrong approach, you could ask clarifying questions on some of their previous decision making but hypotheticals and such likely aren't a strong signal either way.

#35Fly them in. Give them a driver to assist them in arriving and getting to the interview. Have the driver make an obvious mistake. Circle the block or arrive a couple of minutes late.
Auto-fail anyone who treats the driver poorly. Find the guy that wants and/or tries to help the driver succeed.
Various ways to see the inner person and not the "show person" on display for the interview.

#38With these kind of things I don't think asking questions is really going to tell you much. People can present themselves differently than they are, and especially people with lower morales will have no problem presenting themselves differently if that is in their interest. Look at pretty much any big company CEO. If you do need to gauge someone, look at their history, look at their actions, and look at their incentiv…
I came here to say look at what they do not what they say.
This applies not only to CEOs but to every single human on the planet. One thing I have learned is that many people seem to be easily tricked by certain types of humans saying one thing and doing another (which is contradictory to the "said" thing). It is certainly frustrating to watch happen, when it involves people you care about.

#39You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?

#40I don't think you can really get a grasp of anyone's sense of ethics without actually getting to know them first. There are no magic questions here.
The best you can do is to look at their history and see how they've behaved in the past.
