Do I have a vision that serves the greater good? Is my mission prioritized to maximize social benefit and minimize social harm?
2. MORAL PURITY
Are my intentions pure? Am I doing this for the right reasons? Am I serving only myself or also concerned for the welfare of others? Can anyone be harmed by my decsions and actions? Is the harm that I'm causing avoidable?
3. MORAL CONVICTION
Am I devoted to ongoing personal development that improves my prosocial moral agency? Am I on a path that enables me to be more knowledgable and loving today than I was yesterday?

Do I fully understand the consequences of my decisions and intended actions? Have I assessed all the alternatives?
5. MORAL COURAGE
