Getting Smart about Virtue?

April 20, 2009 by Sungold

Since I’m always a sucker for a silly quiz, I took this one via Blue Gal. I have to admit it’s a pretty bogus result. Not that I’m a dummy, but is intelligence really a virtue?

I get that discipline is a virtue, or compassion. But intelligence is just something you’re mostly born with; you can’t cultivate it in quite the same way as compassion, say. You really can’t be sure it’ll be used for good rather than evil. (Bwahahahaha!)

I’m also not sure how you claim intelligence as your best quality and still score high on humility. I’d say medium humility would be more accurate – but then again, maybe I’m more perfect that you knew!

The low score for discipline? Spot on! And maybe that holds true for anyone who wastes their time on quizzes like these.

Your result for The Best Thing About You Test …

Intelligence

Intelligence is your strongest virtue

Intelligence

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.

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

67% Intelligence

63% Humility

44% Honesty

13% Discipline

29% Courage

42% Passion

    Apparently we have some serious differences in our character haha

    Discipline is the act of enduring that which you don’t dig (“the shit”), even though you could be doing something else more fun, because the shit is better for you in the long run. And you? You are remarkable. You can endure a lot of the shit, sometimes self-imposed. All 7 virtues are a part of you, but your discipline runs deepest.

    Discipline is the key to success. In the picture above, the climber is finally having fun and unwinding, after a life of preparation.

    Disciplined famous people: Ghandi, Jesus, Hitler

    YOUR VIRTUES

    60% Compassion

    33% Intelligence

    38% Humility

    44% Honesty

    75% Discipline

    Also, does this mean I’m gutless?? Ha

    Jake, Gandhi, Jesus, and Hitler? What a group!

    Maybe we shouldn’t take any quiz too seriously if they can’t spell Gandhi correctly, however. (Hey, where’s the “pedantry” category on this quiz?)

    You actually are a disciplined student, at least when you were within my direct line of sight, so I’m not too skeptical about your score. I don’t buy the gutless thing, though. You never reminded me of the Cowardly Lion.
