1. Following my moral code perfectly and thus attaining "perfection".
2. Self-discipline.
Anyways, I'm getting a lot better at the number two. I actually finished a substantial portion of my homework this weekend.

I agree with integrity and humility, but I think I desire them more in others than in myself. I'm pretty understanding, but I always want to understand more. What I need to work on is self-discipline. I can always do what NEEDS to be done, but I don't ever have the discipline to do what I WANT to get done.

If it were that I could possess any virtue I am lacking thereof, it would be kindness.  I cannot, and never have had the capacity to genuinely want to spare another's feelings in sacrifice of the truth.

Calm of mind. Doesn't let you act against your moral code, or do anything bad really. If it doesn't make you happy, it will still make you feel content.

Also, I think that being overly happy could destroy the whole peaceful state.

It's interesting how some put the virtue they value most in themselves and aspire to, while others put the virtue they most lack and wish they had. Yet, by nature, wouldn't my finding certainty of purpose or kitten the empathy and tact to avoid blunt honesty or eloi a placid mental state make us other than what and who we are? Being too decisive for me would mean I was setting aside possibilities and essentially killing my Ne. Kitten wouldn't be an NT without that ability to disengage and state opinion bluntly - sometimes that's necessary, even if it seems cruel, because emotions can sometimes give NFs too light of a touch.....and make hard truths that need to be said weak and tepid....and completely ineffectual. And eloi, the mind of the INFJ is literally the eye of the storm...yours is such a sensitive type that everything in the world is madness next to the peacefulness that surrounds you. The lack of calm is what alerts you to something not being right and allows you make effort to restore your equilibrium.

I dunno. I rather like the ideal....and I think you should always strive to be your best....but sometimes the things that seem to be in need of changing are among our greatest strengths.

My most desired virtue is extreme patience. I do not have very much patience and I would love to be more patient and kinder.

Inner peace, wisdom, love.... It's a toss up, but I think they're interrelated. And they all require courage, humility and integrity.

I think love and wisdom are kind of tied together, actually. It is wise to love those around you. I think a person who grows in wisdom, true wisdom, will grow in love as well. Same goes the other way around.

I think the truth of the matter is that you need all of the virtues in order to fully utilize any of them (gotta love perfectionism). You can say that wisdom is the central virtue, because without it you can't use the other virtues to do wise and good things. At the same time, I could just as easily say that courage is the most important virtue, because without it a wise person may not have the courage to do the things they know are wise to do. And you can make the same argument for any virtue. I think it's really just a matter of where you personally strive to improve the most and what you value the most in yourself and in other people, but in the end, every virtue is equally important and necessary for every other virtue to develop.

I just like courage the most because it's the one I need to improve on the most and admire the most in others, and because I like this quote - "Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point." - C.S. Lewis.

Integrity is the virtue I value most highly in myself and others. Of course, I define this as being genuine, courageous, honest, and loving....having a good reason for everything you do that doesn't compromise who you are or what you believe.

Hmm... this is tough. Part of me wants to say humor. The ability to not take things personally or be so serious when deeply analyzing something and "laugh-off" the things that aren't so important, but I suppose that takes wisdom and experience to help know what is important and what isn't because not everything can or should be laughed away.

Extrovresion of outgoingness. (Damn you, ENFPs! Heh)

It really takes a long time for me to open up to others. Also I hate feeling anxious and giddy when I'm surrounded with a large group of people.

Things in my life would probably go more smoothly if I were better organized and more punctual.
