As we get older you start to have a better understanding of ethics and you can start differentiating between what is right and what is wrong. Through the ethical lens inventory exercise not only was I surprised when seeing the results and being able to relate to it but also learned more about myself that I did not know beforehand. Through the ethical lens exercise I learned what my ethical lens was and my blind spot, my strengths and weaknesses, and my values and the resultant behaviors.
Results of my ethical lens exercise stated that I didn’t have a preferred lens(Reasoning Aptitude, 2011). The graph chart shows my dot being slightly to right in the

    The Ethical Lens Inventory supports Equality and Sensibility as my core values. The results describes that I “prioritize the value of equality over autonomy” (ELI inventory). In addition, it indicates the well being of the community as my primary concern as the “best way to assure that individuals are treated fairly” (ELI inventory). The explanations of these core values reassure my conviction that one-size-fits all approach isn’t the best way to find solutions, but rather the best results are achieved by examining each situation in its context. In other words, I prioritize the value of sensibility over rationality.…

    The ethical lens inventory exercise is very useful and something that I have lost sight of over the years. I was first introduced to this concept when I first applied for a sales position over a decade ago. After completing the exercise, the results of my answers places me in the Rights and Responsibility Lens. Since no one is perfect, having blind spots is inevitable, my blind spot as a result of my answers states that "belief that motive justifies method." My strengths are reason and self knowledge, whereas my weakness is becoming judgmental and legalistic.…
