MORAL DAMAGE TEST
Seven Deadly Sins vs Seven Heavenly Virtues
Find your worst sin. Then see what’s keeping you out of hell.
ABOUT THE FRAMEWORK
WHERE DID THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS COME FROM?
They were not written as one neat seven-item list in a single moment.
In the 4th century, Evagrius Ponticus described eight recurring “evil thoughts.” John Cassian carried that tradition into the Latin West. In the 6th century, Gregory the Great reorganized the principal vices in a system that became hugely influential in the later Seven Deadly Sins tradition.
Centuries of theology, literature, preaching, and art helped shape the familiar modern list:
Pride · Greed · Lust · Envy · Gluttony · Wrath · SlothThe virtues are historically less tidy. Different traditions use different lists and pairings; there is no single seven-pair chart that has been fixed for all of Christian history.
WhichMe uses a modern counterweight set designed for everyday behavior:
Humility · Generosity · Restraint · Kindness · Temperance · Patience · DiligenceThis is not a religious judgment or a psychological diagnosis. We are borrowing an old framework to ask a modern question: where do you lose proportion, and what usually pulls you back?
Have the Seven Deadly Sins always been exactly these seven?
Not exactly. The framework was reorganized over centuries. The familiar modern list is the result of that long evolution.
Do the Seven Virtues have one official one-to-one pairing with the sins?
No. Historical lists and pairings vary. WhichMe uses a modern counterweight set for an entertainment quiz, not a claim about the single “correct” historical chart.
Is this a psychological assessment?
No. It describes patterns in the 14 situations you answer here. Treat it as a strangely specific mirror, not a diagnosis.
