About This Quiz
Measure your moral level with this personality challenge flashback. But you needn't be a "Dungeons & Dragons" wizard to appreciate the character alignment spectrum we explore from the popular role-playing game.
Game veterans will recall that there are nine possible alignment outcomes: Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, and Chaotic Evil. Our moral alignment test will explain the outcome that aligns best with your personality. All that we require are your honest responses to engaging real-life scenarios.
For the uninitiated, the alignments are the basis for identities of role-playing characters. Yet, as in real life, these categories are merely guides and not hard and fast rules. You may harbor traits from one or more of the alignments — which depends on a number of circumstances that we'll explain once you're assigned a perfect moral label. The main thing to ponder is how the moral alignment system mixes and matches scenarios involving good and evil, chaos and order (or law). Theoretically, the desires of most folk reflect more of one extreme, while the rare even-tempered types hover somewhere mid-spectrum in the neutral zone, which has its own mini-range.
Expect to respond to light-hearted questions that help to reveal your deepest desires. For instance, where, when and why you might litter a public or private space likely reflects your propensity to press a nuke button or end world hunger. (At the same time, you could reason that world hunger might end if you pressed a nuke button.)
Dive in deeper into this moral alignment personality test. We guarantee you'll get to know yourself a lot better.

An ally at your job just informed you that upper management has been reviewing your work performance behind your back. What do you do?
I'd hope so! It's the job of upper management to do that type of thing.
I find a way to trip up the "ally," get them written up to take the heat off of me.
Tell this "ally" the same thing to incite them to dig deeper so I don't have to. I expect daily updates.
Nothing. Who cares?

An emergency requires that your friend drive cross-country and there's no one else to help them drive. Do you help out?
Yeah, but only if I don't have anything important going on.
I'd drive the first leg then "get sick" and have my "friend" take us on through.
Yes, and we're stopping whenever I get the itch to see some sights along the way.
No problem. I just have to make sure that my boss is OK with it first.

By some fluke you are able to be invisible for 24 hours only once. What does such a day look like for you?

Yes. That's the natural order.

Time for a new job
I'd probably get a lot done with a former co-worker as my supervisor.
Who cares? Someone has to do the job.

You notice a former friend from grade school in a market that you just entered. Your former friend looks really good, like life has been good to them. Do you go after your old friend or let the past stay in the past?
