D&D Alignment Test

The Dungeons&Dragons Alignment system classifies people's morality according to two axes: Good-Evil and Chaotic-Lawful. Good people are altruistic and respect life and other people, while evil people are antagonistic and at best care about themselves. Chaotic people value freedom and novelty, while lawful people value order, authority and honor. These are taken to be the core of people's values, and they lead to a classification according to 9 categories, based on where one lands in the system.

Response data storage

I would like to anonymously store your response to the test, both in order to support further calibration of the test scoring, and to support more general research into personality. This is fully optional, and you can take the test and get your scores without having it stored. However, consenting does come with the perk that you can get a link that makes it easy to share and store your scores. If you share the resulting link with your friends, they can also contribute by anonymously and privately rating how accurate they think your scores are, which will be used for future research to validate the test.

Research questions

Since you have consented to storing your response to the survey to assist research and calibration, it would be further helpful if you could answer a few extra questions about yourself, so that this information can be included in the research.

Age

How old are you?









Expected Chaotic v. Lawful Alignment

To help calibrate the test to give the best results for future users, what do you think your chaotic/lawful alignment is?





Expected Evil v. Good Alignment
