Just a passing thought

I always trip up on those "either/or" tests that they give for determining personality traits (e.g., Myers-Briggs) because they offer every pairing as being mutually exclusive. My biggest pet peeve is "justice or mercy." Sometimes being merciful is being just. For me, it would be more accurate - and descriptive - if they asked "spirit of the law or letter of the law." Just for the record, I choose "spirit of the law."
