Here’s the OP:

Before you dirty minds in the group mistake the title for something totally different, look at this link.

[Link1](http://www.gamebanshee.com/poolofradiance/alignment.php)

There’s an alignment test at the top of the page that I haven’t gotten to work yet.

I guess it’s obvious by my username which I may be(if I lived in a world where that sort of lifestyle is allowed). What is closest to the way you live…or play games?

BTW another page albeit much more in depth is here:

I am lawful good. I try to help others where I can afford to. I stay away from trouble and speak the truth above all else. Injustices piss me off. 🙂

Chaotic Neutral.

> [@](#):
>
> A chaotic neutral character follows his whims. He is an individualist first and last. He values his own liberty but doesn’t strive to protect others’ freedom. He avoids authority, resents restrictions, and challenges traditions. The chaotic neutral character does not intentionally disrupt organizations as part of a campaign of anarchy. To do so, he would have to be motivated either by good (and a desire to liberate others) or evil (and a desire to make those different from himself suffer). The common phrase for chaotic neutral is “true chaotic.” Remember that the chaotic neutral character may be unpredictable, but his behavior is not totally random. He is not as likely to jump off a bridge as to cross it. Chaotic neutral is the best alignment you can be because it represents true freedom both from society’s restrictions and from a do-gooder’s zeal.

From your second link, I get this:

Heh heh.

I’m definitely chaotic neutral. As such, there are times when I tend to resemble any other given alignment, but there’s no general trend.

I’d say that I am chaotic good. I tend to try and help people but don’t suffer governance or oversight very easily. Which explains my current career woes.

I’m Chaotic Good with neutral tendencies (on both sides).

Just plain ole, unadorned Neutral.

The test claims neutral, I claim chaotically disorganised.

Eh, chaotic good.

I don’t have anything clever to say about it, though.

The test says pure neutral, and I tend to agree. I waver towards good, and occaisonally evil (but never things like murder, just little things.) I certainly don’t follow all laws, but I think some are needed and follow the important ones. I’m closer to chaotic than lawful, but not enough to make me chaotic neutral (yet.) I figured as much.

Neutral good, which suits me in general. I’ll do what I can to make the world a better place, and, if that means a few laws get broken, oh well. In other words, I’m an altruistic fool who’ll probably get herself killed on of these days. If that’s the case, I hope you folks will throw me one heck of a wake, Chaotic Neutrals and all!

I’ve taken a bunch of these tests and always end up with the same result: completely, 100 percent neutral. Apparently I’m neither good nor evil.

…Cool.

Neutral good. The last alignment test I took I was chaotic evil.
