Description

High scorers think carefully about their choices. Prudence is, in a way, a combination of reasoning and self-control: that is, thinking critically about the consequences of your actions and then having the discipline to make the right choices.

Prudent people exercise restraint for the sake of the long term. They don’t take unwarranted risks and they don’t say or do things they would regret later on.
