Conscience is something that guides our decisions in terms of what the likely effect will be on others in those decisions. Will it be destructive (win/lose) or constructive (win/win) toward others. After we make a decision, either constructive or destructive, we get to learn whether the result was conscientious, or ethical, by way of feedback from others. And so our "tank" of conscience or ethics fills a bit. In other words, people teach us lessons about whether we are ethical enough toward them, to want to work well together.

Conscience, then tells us whether we are doing right by people, being mature of character, virtuous and constructive, or else being unethical, with vice, and destructive.

Conscience as a virtue, carries two vices in the form of naivete (overabundance of conscience) and criminality (lack of conscience.)

Intuition tells us whether a particular environment or kind of environment is being kind, generous, beneficial, and constructive back at us, or whether it is a destructive environment or one in which normally good decisions still lead to destructive treatment back at ourselves.

That which is destructive also correlates with immaturity, regression, criminality and even evil in our sense of the word, and is part of what is pathological narcissism. Destructiveness is what is within both the upper right branch and the down arrow of both the Anger Map and the Anxiety Map.

That which is constructive correlates with virtue, character maturity, goodness, partnership, success, and is seen in the upper left branches of both the Anger Map and Anxiety Map in the mature emotional decisions called Assertiveness and Courage, respectively.
