I took the quiz on the left hand side of the article and that's pretty much how it came out for me too - generally to protect another person. Although I will admit to a few blunders in my long ago past where I did so to keep myself from looking bad - fortunately, not related to any serious situations and not where it hurt another person. But looking at that chart does make one wonder.
