Justice ↔ Mercy

Justice vs Mercy

Where do you fall on the spectrum between justice and mercy?
Most people *think* they know how they respond to wrongdoing—until the consequences are real. This is a 5-minute ethical mirror built from dilemma tradeoffs: no obvious “right” answers, only patterns.

Justice
consistency, deterrence, accountability
Mercy
context, repair, reintegration
Justice Mercy
Your position is calculated from 18 dilemmas. Only one question at a time. No going back.
Designed for moral trade-offs
You’ll face forced consequences and competing values—so your pattern emerges naturally.
Start by locking in your answer for the first dilemma.
When complete, you’ll discover:
  • Your ethical profile (what you default to under pressure)
  • The hidden trade-off your moral style tends to create
  • Why people misread your intentions—and how to avoid it

A repeat offender stole medicine they could not afford. The law mandates a minimum sentence. What should the judge do?

Each answer tightens your pattern.
