personality quizzes tend to ask if the quiz-taker favours justice or mercy, as if they belong on opposite sides.
why?
i think of mercy as a higher value,

(in fact, my aspiration for justice essentially decided my vocation).
justice and mercy are not mutually exclusive.
it is only when justice is meted out that mercy has any application at all.
