What's your virtue?

[Berethond]

Um... I dunno, apparently I'm a Type 4 by that test but... on deeper examination I don't fit the profile that well. Probably something to do with a lot of those answers applying strongly to me on both sides A and B.

I'd say though that my best virtue-type-thing is probably... chivalry.

Yeeah. They do the answers so that they're pretty much polar opposites.

But we already decided that test's not the best.

 

[Drake the Dragonheart]

Mine is valor, as well as honor

Resist... urge... to correct American spelling...

come again? was it because I forgot a period?

 

[Chickenlittle]

Personally, I have two. I pride myself on taking the moral high road, and for honesty.

 

[Chickenlittle]

Resist... urge... to correct American spelling...

Heheh. I saw that one coming.

 

[johnman]

Seeing a board a picture as possible

 

[Galletea]

Awesome-ness. Or Modesty, I haven't decided yet.

 

[Jharry5]

Probably Charity. I'm too kind for my own good at times. (Wait, isn't that two virtues there?)

 

[Lukeje]

Can't resist ... any... more... And yes, you also missed a full-stop.

 

[Higurashi]

I can't really choose from any of the four, as I find I possess them all to a good extent..
I would have to say empathy. I am really good at that. Old me would have said love.

 

[Charlie-two-zero]

I always try to make the morally correct choice, regardless of what the consequences may be.

How is this justice, exactly? A just person is one who always grants people precisely what they have earned--under some versions of morality (altruism) being just is considered *cruel*. Justice isn't an altruist virtue, mercy is: the granting of the *unearned*. To an altruist, justice and morality are inevitably and irrevocably opposed.

just because you see it from your point of view doesn't mean it is the absolute truth. justice means different things to different people.

Then it means nothing to anyone and claiming as a virtue or a vice is utterly pointless.

i disagree. some virtues are fleeting within a confined space. it may be to you that you're opposed to this definition of justice. it all depends on which perspective you look at it from.

JMeganSnow is actually correct in this. Justice, when talking of personal virtues, is to always grant people what they have earned. The virtue that best responds to what you, theklng, have described is Pride.

 

[Spacelord]

If anything, it'd be Fortitude for me.

 

[Chiasm]

Diligence, I have every last hour of every week planned ahead for the coming 5 months.

 

[Iron Mal]

Erm... What do you call, the "Anti-slut?"
I don't know the right word, but whatever it is, I'm that.

Would it be celibacy or virtue? (for a woman, words like innocence, purity and virtue typically tend to describe her sexually as well as morally)

I would have to say that I posess the Knightly Virtues of Strength, Fortitude, Mercy and Devotion.

Seriously guys...I do, I can prove it.

 

[Happy Toki Toki]

INSANITY!

 

[Cahlee]

Kindness I think

 

[Rhayn]

According to the test, scepticism.

I would've gone with loyalty though.

 

[Vim-Hogar]

Modesty, and proud of it.

 

[Seldon2639]

If it's of the seven heavenly virtues, I guess I'd say I have (or at least strive for) Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Courage. But, if I had to narrow it down, I'd say it's justice. On that note:

You're partially right, Charlie. In the sense that if one unreasonably holds their opinion on matters of "justice" above that of other people, it would be a sin of pride. That being said, though, the ability to be just first requires one to determine what each person is due. In some cases, it's fairly easy to do, we have entire legal systems premised on this. But, in terms of moral choices (as divorced from legal ones, both being covered under "justice"), one can argue for the validity of ones position on what someone has "earned". But, that takes us into questions of existentialism, the categorical imperative, and every other butting-of-heads about how to determine what is the just dessert for any particular action.
