Took the test after I answered. Still came up neutral.

Chaotic neutral, probably with a toe across the evil line. The test had me pegged as true neutral, but I didn’t think it was well designed for real world people–probably works better with your D&D character in mind.

ETA: I wonder who picked lawful evil and if they were serious.

In my heart I am chaotic neutral (and always liked to play that way in D&D). However in most of my actual life and, according to the online quiz, I am chaotic good (but surely leaning towards chaotic neutral).

According to the test, True Neutral. But I’d say lawful neutral.

According to the test, I’m Chaotic Evil leaning Chaotic neutral.

Though more correctly it should be Anti-authoritarian selfish.

According to the quiz I’m Lawful Good and actually…I probably am. I tell myself I coud be Chaotic Neutral with Evil tendencies, but I know I’m not.

After considerable discussion my friends came to the conclusion that I’m Lawful Neutral, which is a riot to me.

I would have said lawful neutral but the quiz puts me at Neutral good.

I got true Neutral from the quiz. I feel like I’m probably more Chaotic Neutral though.

Just took it, and as I guessed, I am neutral good.  
I have VERY rarely played a character with any other alignment.  
It seems like that may well be my real philosophy.

The common phrase for neutral good is “true good.” Neutral good is the best alignment you can be because it means doing what is good without bias toward or against order.

**Chaotic Evil** for me. Cries loudly. I’m not evil, but I will choose to save my cats/tribe/family without thinking about the costs to others.

Lawful good is what I try to be, but I end up more pure neutral.

I’m Good Lawful, which isn’t quite the same as Lawful Good; in my case, the emphasis is on the “Good” - I’m LG going on NG. Littlebro OTHO is LG going on LN, in his case the emphasis is on the “Lawful”.

Middlebro is Chaotic Whoknows… CN. Nobody was surprised when our friend David entered Law School, we’d long known he was LE 😛 Another friend from the same RPG group, the one that really, really, really grates on me, is CE, and the last one is LG.
