Integrity Check: A Simple Checklist
A simple checklist to “integrity check†yourself!
Â
–Am I aware of when I am integrious and when I am not?
–Am I thinking independently and using my own judgment?
–Is someone else directly influencing me?
–Am I confident that I know the truth? If not have I done the work of discernment to discover the truth?
–Am I being honest with myself?
–Am I being honest and forthright with others?
–Am I acting out of a need for approval or acceptance from others?
–Is there any fear that is affecting my judgment or action?
–Am I clear on what my values are, and in what relative importance they are to each other?
–Have I thought this through relative to what is right and true in an absolute sense?
–Have I thought this through in regards to how it might affect the others involved?
–If my friends and family were watching me would I act any different?



We developed a similar “Integrity-in-Action Checklist” that we use in our Culture of Excellence & Ethics workshops for educators, businesses, and individuals and in our Power2Achieve curriculum for high schools and middle schools. Check it out: http://bit.ly/lZchnC
Keep up the good work!

Great list for gut-checking… to expand on the last one, “Would I act any different if no one was watching?”
