My best techniques for evaluating character
I’m a big fan of number 2 - people who think in hierarchies tend to think things are below them - but 7 is extremely underappreciated.<p>If you haven’t seen it, the Al Capone theory of Sexual Harassment (&lt;<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hypatia.ca&#x2F;2017&#x2F;07&#x2F;18&#x2F;the-al-capone-theory-of-sexual-harassment&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hypatia.ca&#x2F;2017&#x2F;07&#x2F;18&#x2F;the-al-capone-theory-of-sexual...</a>&gt;) covers this pretty well: Someone who’ll do the wrong thing in one circumstance has already displayed the moral flexibility to convince themselves it’s OK to do the wrong thing in other circumstances. We’re none of us saints, but if you don’t have the fortitude to keep to your principles (or the principles to keep to) when the stakes are small, boy, it’s a whole lot harder to convince yourself to accept the cost of doing the right thing when the stakes are higher.
