The Dauntless believe Pride is more important than reason or sense. But I think, in order to be functional, you have to have both, otherwise you will never think about your actions and you'll just be ruthless; which isn't what Dauntless "wants."
Tris is very clever and stands up to Peter's stupid remarks. Tris actually throws better than most people there, but Al isn't doing well at all. Eric is in a bad mood so when he notices Al, he tells him to get his knives while the others are still throwing. He honestly bursts out that he's scared of getting hit in the head with a knife. So he makes him stand in front of a target until he doesn't flinch. Tris tells them to stop then says,
"It doesn't prove anything except that you're bullying us. Which, as I recall is a sign of cowardice."
She ends up taking his spot and flinches the first time, but the second she's determined. Four is purposely missing but then nicks her ear, she doesn't flinch though...
