Self-control

On the card, Self-control means “to be disciplined in my own actions”. On Even Over’s map of values, it is in the area called Conformity–rules: following rules, laws and formal duties. That area is on the conservation side of the map.

How it was placed

The word has one clear link to this value and overlaps with others. Discipline over your own actions is the restraint conformity describes, without naming rules. The placement is our own and provisional.
