But you're right, because INTEGRITY does measure one other thing: how honest you are. If you lie and connive and dissemble and subvert treaties and break laws (yes, you, TOMMIE T. TOMALAK), Decipher gave you low INTEGRITY. If you're honest and forthright and go through proper channels even when you feel strongly, high INTEGRITY. Not sure I agree with that choice, but it seems like almost the only way to explain relatively low Romulan INTEGRITY scores.
I had an answer for phaser about what Honor and Treachery represent, but then I did some extra research and now I'm not so sure of myself.

They seem committed to not getting executed by the Tal Shiar -- which is fair, but is less a principle. I don't see a lot of Rommies in TNG sacrificing a whole lot for their principles (Jarok being a clear exception).BCSWowbagger wrote: ↑Wed Jul 14, 2021 9:33 pm (INTEGRITY! MEANS! COMMITMENT! TO! PRINCIPLES! OTHERWISE! ITS! JUST! HONOR! AND WE ALREADY! HAVE! THAT! SKILL!)The big problem though is that it might mean that NOW but Decipher has been less than consistent with it.
Otherwise, we have a whole ton of, say, PAQ Romulans whose scores indicate that they couldn't care less about the Empire with on-screen evidence either lacking or to the contrary.
But I suppose the counter argument to that is that PAQ was just weird and a lot about that era makes little sense now.
