Or maybe, "lying on internet quizzes."

Except that the zero percent discipline is right on. And it's not every day I get to compare myself to JD Salinger, Harry Potter, and Seabiscuit in one post:

Your result for The Best Thing About You Test...

Humility

Humility is your strongest virtue. You are humble.


Humility is the defining characteristic of an unpretentious and modest person, someone who does not think that he or she is better or more important than others. And you? When you do the right thing, you're doing it for all the right reasons. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your humility runs deepest.

It is likely you're a quiet type. But if not, then you just have dark, secret side that loves to give.

Humble famous people: JD Salinger, Isaac Newton, Harry Potter (pre-puberty)

Your raw relative scores follow. 0% is low, and 100% is perfect, nearly impossible. Note that I pitted the virtues against each other, so in some way these are relative scores. It's impossible to score high on all of them, and a low score on one is just relatively low compared to the other virtues.

YOUR VIRTUES

50% Compassion

56% Intelligence

75% Humility

56% Honesty

0% Discipline

29% Courage

33% Passion

    Honesty is the human quality of communicating and acting truthfully. This includes listening, and any action in the human repertoire — as well as speaking. And you? You cannot tell a lie. Both loved ones and strangers should trust you, because you won't (1) lie, (2) lie via omission, or (3) sit there and let lies be told. (Can you even let a sleeping dog lie?) All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your honesty runs deepest.

    Your biggest risk is hurting the feelings of your most sensitive friends. However, most appreciate you for your candor.

    Honest famous person: George Washington, if you believe the propaganda.

    Not so much on the compassion scale

  2. I was going for courage and I got humility. Are these things all related to the Wizard of Oz?

  3. I got 50% on discipline, with Ghandi, Jesus and Hitler. What I don't get, though, is 0% on honesty after I admitted that I would tell a lie. I guess being honest on internet quizzes doesn't count.

  4. Goodness. I wonder if it would issue a negative number for discipline in my case?

    Compassionate famous people: Brad Pitt, Mother Theresa, The A-Team.

    The Freakin' A-Team! FTW!

  6. I got compassion and a puppy. Not buying it.

  7. I got intelligence with a good dose of compassion - and a score for discipline that's just a hair above yours, Blue Gal.

    I'm still trying to figure out how intelligence is a *virtue.* Seems pretty morally neutral to me.

    Randall here,

    I'm sorry but that 0% discipline elevated you from an already high esteem to stratospheric with me!

    I promise, I'l take the infernal thing and report. I'm sorry I missed the chat this eve but I get just two chances every 5 weeks. NEXT week, I hope....

    Kudos!

  9. This has to be off kilter:

    Intelligence (also called intellect) is an umbrella term used to describe a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities, such as the capacities to reason, plan, and solve problems. And you? Your brain shines. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your intelligence runs deepest.

    It is likely you're a smarty-pants. And it's likely (but not necessary) that your discipline score is high also. It takes a certain resolve to maintain all those neural thingies.

    Intelligent famous people: Einstein, Shakespeare, Da Vinci.

    Because many of the virtues are pitted directly against each other in a disorderly manner, I scored lower on some virtues that I, personally, think would be higher and higher on others that would more likely be less of my own personal virtues.

    Though, I must admit, I always liked both Shakespeare and Da Vinci. As for Einstein? Not my cup of tea. If that is supposed to be the company I keep, I'll take it. But I'll take it all with a grain of salt too...
