Description
High scorers tend to have a strong moral compass and a deep concern for their actions' impact on themselves and others.
Their strong sense of personal responsibility and a heightened sensitivity to their own moral standards and expectations causes them to experience intense feelings of guilt when they perceive that they have violated these standards or failed to live up to their own ideals.
They are motivated to make amends and seek forgiveness to rectify their perceived wrongdoing. They are more likely to engage in self-criticism and self-blame, as they internalize their mistakes and view them as reflections of their personal worth.
Their inclination toward guilt and self-blame can contribute to high levels of conscientiousness, as they strive to avoid future transgressions.
