Take the test

A Principled Sentinel (PICA) is someone who believes society needs clear standards and responsibilities that people can trust in order to remain stable. They may feel that when order is shaken, ordinary daily life can become unsettled as well. While they recognize the value of freedom and change, they believe these must rest on boundaries the community should uphold and standards people can predict.

Friction Points

Rights are emphasized while duties are taken lightly.

It’s my right, so why should I care what others think? If I want to do it, I do it.
Rights operate within a community. I think rights and responsibilities need to be considered together.

Security and preparedness are dismissed as oversensitivity.

Why are we still talking about security these days? Isn’t that kind of worry a bit excessive?
I agree that peace is important. But I believe basic preparedness and responsibility are also necessary for peace to be maintained.

It can help to look at the reasons behind actions that disrupt order.

Firmness in upholding standards is one of the Principled Sentinel’s (PICA) strengths, but it is also worth examining whether resistance to order may come from some form of unfairness.

The desire to protect order should not narrow freedom too far.

Valuing order and safety is one of the Principled Sentinel’s (PICA) strengths, but it is also worth checking whether freedom of expression, assembly, and privacy may be overly restricted in the process of law enforcement.
