    You are an
    Enforcer.

    Enforcers
    are the people we
    rely on to make sure that
    everyone obeys the rules. They
    help to stop crooks and cheats,
    and of course ourselves from
    doing the wrong thing. They’ll
    look up rule 3, sub-section 7 to
    tell us what’s right. If the rules
    don’t tell us what’s right, then
    they’ll think of the principle or spirit behind it. Finally,
    they might remember that everyone is human and
    fallible and if you’re lucky, might let you off with a
    warning not to do it again.
    About 14% of adults are Enforcers.

    Strengths:
    Reminds everyone to do their duty.

    Weaknesses:
    May appear cold and aloof and seem
    to lack empathy for others. May
    sometimes forget that it’s the principle

    that counts, not the letter of the law.


    Not too sure about this result... may have answered a few questions wrong... if anything im the opposite of an enforcer..

    In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!

    Turns out I am an enforcer; although I would never enforce anything otherwise someone was bothering me or doing something out of the ordinary..

    and furthermore:

    I think I got the absolute wimpiest possible result:

    You are an Angel.

    Angels believe that being good to others is that most important moral perspective. They think the world would be a better place if we were all a little less selfish and considered the consequences of our actions. Then they’ll consider moral principles like love and hope and ask “what would build trust and respect?” Then finally and reluctantly they’ll consider rules, laws and regulations. Angels do what’s right for others because it’s in their nature. They don’t have to be told! About 16% of adults are Angels.\

    Strengths: Lovely people and great to have as friends.

    Weaknesses: Will break rules if they believe a higher principle is at stake. May sometimes give people the benefit of the doubt rather than stand up for a principle.

    You are a Guardian.
    Guardians believe that doing
    as we’re told and following the
    letter of the law is best for all of
    us. They’re like parents in that
    they really do care about other
    people, because you have to do
    as you’re told for your own
    sake. They protect us from
    ourselves as well as others.
    They will also consider moral principles, but believe that
    life would be so much better for everyone if people just
    did as they were told. Guardians are protectors, but
    they can also be patronizing! About 17% of adults are
    Guardians.
    Strengths: Protectors who will tell us off for our
    own sake.
    Weaknesses: May fail to consider important
    principles such as freedom and trust.
    Will sometimes fail to consider other
    people’s feelings.

    And as an angel, I bar you from entering heaven. Seems about even. Who says I have to be a nice angel, after all? I could be one of those Seraphim with a flaming sword and God's vengeance on my lips for all you know.

    Philosophers believe that
    moral principle, or “virtue” is the
    most important ethical
    perspective. They ask “what
    would be the honest or
    courageous thing to do?” Then
    they’ll consider the
    consequences for others. Then
    finally and reluctantly they’ll
    consider rules, laws and regulations. Philosophers hate
    being told what to do or what’s right. They’re mavericks
    and rebels, but good to have around when really
    difficult decisions have to be made. About 15% of
    adults are Philosophers

    Quite fitting, though I had some problems answering Part B (the very last set of ratings) as I couldn't really select a 3rd least like me, so had to go with a compromise.
