I also don’t think humans exhibit this distinction [terminal vs. instrumental goal dichotomy] particularly strongly.
the ideological turing test seems like a case where the distinction can be seen clearly in humans; the instrumental goal is to persuade the other that you sincerely hold beliefs/values (which imply goals). while your terminal goal is to advance advocacy of your different actual beliefs.
