Alignments

I took an alignment test today. In the spirit of fairness, balance or whatever, I took three different tests to see if they would yield the same results. I've been thinking about taking one for a long time now to find out how far I've fallen.

You can view the alignment list here. Note that I've always thought of myself as Chaotic Good when I was in college. While some of its descriptions apply to me, I don't think I'm anywhere close to being "good" anymore.

And now, the test results.

Test #1:

Your Character's Alignment

Based on your answers to the quiz, your character's most likely alignment is Neutral.

A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutrality is a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil. After all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, she's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. The common phrase for neutral is "true neutral." Neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion.


Test #2: (This test explains the answers to each question and how points were allotted to them. The explanations are too long to paste here.)

Law: 3
Chaos: 3
Good: 1
Evil: 5

Your alignment: Neutral Evil

Test #3:

You are 2.8% Good.
You are 7.7% Lawful.
Alignment: True Neutral

You do whatever seems like a good idea at the time. You don't feel any strong inclination towards good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Some may say that you lack conviction, while others might admire you for your capability of remaining unbiased. You likely prefer good versus evil in society, since good people tend to make better neighbors and rulers, but you are not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way.

You are the stereotypical “Balancer.” You act in a way that is natural to you without prejudice or compulsion.

Examples of characters and people who fit into the same alignment as you include Linus Torvalds, Dr. Strangelove, Scott Evil, Mr. Spock, and the nation of Switzerland.

Neutral? That's unexpected.
