You are The Private Stoic.
The Private Stoic
You live by a strict internal moral code but avoid public displays of virtue. Integrity and consistency are your guiding stars, yet you don't seek recognition or applause for your ethics. Quiet and reserved, you value self-discipline and personal responsibility, maintaining your principles regardless of social pressure. Your morality is deeply personal and internalized; you care more about your own sense of right and wrong than about convincing others or engaging in moral debates.
This is an interesting topic.

I am baffled that my institutional faith is as high as it is.
While I am here I will say a (tiny) bit about morality and systems of control.
In a vacuum morality is a great thing, but in practice human factors complicate it to the point of unrecognizability.
Morals are more often than not used to imprint (maybe inflict is a more appropriate word?) the predominant manner of thinking onto others (primarily children). If a child begins to question morality their parents will give them a non answer (i.e. "god made it that way") or tell them to stop asking so many questions.
Anyways, I am too tired to think. Maybe I need more potassium in my diet. Argh.
The Rational Pragmatist
For you, morality is less about rigid ideals and more about practical outcomes. You assess each situation individually, making ethical choices based on what works best in context. Flexibility is key—you recognize that sometimes compromises are necessary, and that absolute principles don't always fit real life. Your focus is on achieving tangible results, not moral purity, and you're comfortable navigating complex dilemmas where right and wrong blur.
lol what a bootlickerThe Altruistic Reformer
Passionately committed to improving society, you dedicate yourself to causes that promote justice, equality, and the common good. Your morality is outward-facing, focused on public virtue and collective progress. You often prioritize the needs of others above your own and are willing to make personal sacrifices to advance your ideals. Though sometimes idealistic to a fault, your drive to enact positive change motivates you to persist even in the face of setbacks or opposition.
