Default Are you a person of principle or practicality?

And by that I mean if you’re likely to, for example, give a homeless person a fiver (because in the moment you feel like it’s the humane/appropriate thing to do) or turn to the principle of giving money to people in the first place (you might not be comfortable doing that) or to homeless people per se (e.g., it’ll likely go on drugs/alcohol so why bother?).

Or if you were a high-school headteacher would you let certain ‘delinquencies’ from students slide (on the premise that it’s just realistic and natural for teenagers to step out of line and misbehave sometimes) or would you be an exact stickler for punishment (because of moral principles) every single time?
