Chaotic neutral, which is the same as me in real life

The test stated me as Chaotic Neutral. I'd say I'm border-lining on Chaotic Evil here.
That's only what the Man wants you to believe, bro.

Neutral, usually on the side of not negatively affecting others, but not fighting for a bias. I'm not better than others, I just look better than them

True Neutral, that's boring.
Makes sense though, since all you lovecraftian horrors have such inhuman morals as to be undefinible by our pathetic moral codes.

I don't think I can add one now can it?

Also, gonna throw out this website with other personality tests just for fun. Feel free to post results here too

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 neighbours 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.

Pfft, everyone knows morality is just an abstract concept that does not really exist. right and wrong actions exist as far as some actions are more overall beneficial than others, and the Buddhists got it wrong: Logic and reason, the ability to make decisions, observe situations and draw conclusions entirely free of emotion or presupposition is true enlightenment. Have I achieved this? Hell no. Will I ever? Hell no. Should we stop trying? Hell no.

And that's my world view ^^

I hate a lot of these questions. Like in that other not-D&D one for example "114) My own happiness and success are more important than the happiness and success of others.", well they are more important to me than anyone elses (it's my life I'm living), but I recognise in the grand scheme of it all they are as unimportant as everyone elses...So what answer do I give? :S

Yeah, some of the questions seem pretty off at times, but you have to remember that sometimes those questions are not about what they seem to be about. That question for instance more then likely expects you to extrapolate out like you did and as such it's answers are based more on forcing you to make a very cut and dry decision in a nebulous circumstance.

Hmm... I've changed a good deal over the past year or two.  I hope I'll be able to change back to the person I used to be, or at least somewhere near it.

I tend to get wildly different results in alignment tests, depending on what mood I'm in and what I think a particular question means at the time.  And thats just with the same test done on different days.

"Wildly different" as in anywhere from LN to CG.

I also find it amusing when they also calculate your race, as if a large proportion of those taking the test are somehow not "proper" humans.

Neutral, probably because I picked stuff from both ends of the spectrum and it averaged out.

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

As the divine unicorn, I must stay impartial.

@Aqizzar: That sounds like a good description of CE, better than what it usually is in games, which is 'rawr I attack them'.

Neutral Evil is more than willing to hurt other people to get ahead or stay alive, and will take that option over most others.

True Neutral is less than willing, and will only do so when there is no other option.

Neutral Good will never hurt someone to keep themselves alive.
