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

Boring

you need a poll

I took the test and got Chaotic Evil, which makes sense since I'm a sociopath. But sometimes I'm Lawful Evil, because of influence from having Asperger's too.

I love being the bad guy in video games. 8)

My stats:

STR:10
INT:17
WIS:12
DEX:10
CON:9
CHR:9

I would definitely be a mage/wizard, that's what I always love to be in video games. :D My strength seems a little too high though...

Interesting--this quiz gave me a result of NG. Usually I get LG. Apparently my Lawfulness has been slipping lately...

There are also tests where you can get stats; my dump stats are usually dexterity and charisma. Unfortunately the class tests usually peg me as either paladin or wizard--wizard would work with the stats, but I'd make a horrid paladin what with the low charisma score. Best approximating my real-life stats would probably be a low-level Expert with lots of skill points, mostly in Knowledge skills.

I think it's awfully silly to think that Aspies are LN naturally. We're not. There's plenty of us who are chaotic because we reject society and don't have so much natural affinity for honor and order; and, like all humans, of course we're free to choose good or evil.

Mild lawful tendencies... yes. But very mild. Not even really to the point where you could stick a "Usually" tag on it (which in D&D means that it's the most common alignment, making up more than 30% of the population)... I think that, like humans in general, autistics are Usually True Neutral, meaning our primary allegiance is to friends, family, and ourselves.

I'm somewhere between true neutral and chaotic good.

Quote:
Neutral Evil

A neutral evil villain does whatever she can get away with. She is out for herself, pure and simple. She sheds no tears for those she kills, whether for profit, sport, or convenience. She has no love of order and holds no illusion that following laws, traditions, or codes would make her any better or more noble. On the other hand, she doesn’t have the restless nature or love of conflict that a chaotic evil villain has. The criminal who robs and murders to get what she wants is neutral evil. Some neutral evil villains hold up evil as an ideal, committing evil for its own sake. Most often, such villains are devoted to evil deities or secret societies. The common phrase for neutral evil is "true evil." Neutral evil is the most dangerous alignment because it represents pure evil without honor and without variation.


I personally identify with Chaotic Neutral myself though.

"Neutral Good"

In other online test, the result was "chaotic good"

However, I don't think that I have any histrionic or bordeline traits - I am sure that I am somewhere between Asperger and Schizoid.

The test says I'm true neutral, which is odd; I try to be neutral good, but usually in practice I'm chaotic neutral. But some of the questions didn't have the answers I would really pick, like with the first question, "I go to my Happy Place for a few years or run away, whichever is easier and safer, and lose all affection for my family" is not an option. It doesn't even have "you're wrong, STFU" options that don't require me to go slandering people. Of course, this depends on what the exact situation is-- the brief description could apply to situations where I'd politely disagree, clarify my reasons for my behavior, agree to disagree, admit that they're right, quietly change my behavior or secretly complain about it. With the testifying question, it assumes the only reason I wouldn't testify is because it would delay me (and that my quest is less important than this one crime), whereas I actually wouldn't testify because I don't know anything more about the situation than what I saw, it's dangerous to ask me to try to recognize someone in such a situation and it's possible the punishment is disproportionate and I'd be condemning someone to be tortured to death when he could have been redeemed.

I used to be a dungeon master for advanced dungeons and dragons. Lawful neutral sounds correct for a hypothetical character with AS.

Scored as Chaotic Neutral on this one. If I am to think of myself outside of the scope of these questions, I'd say I'm either True Neutral or Chaotic Neutral. Some tests score me as Chaotic Evil or Neutral Evil, which I really don't agree with - I'm not sadistic. I get no pleasure from others' pain.
Never scored as good. I'm just too selfish and don't really care whether I'm a good and moral person.

And in regards to fantasy characters, I tend to like evil and neutral characters. Good ones tend to annoy me. Lawful ones I'd possibly like less.

Irl, if you can really apply it there - good people I might like as in they're not so stressful to interact (more forgiving, kind?) with unless they're very "lawful" (which might cause them to be intolerant/judging). Neutral, I don't know. "Evil" (...applying such a term in real life... :lol: ) people I might either hate or look up to in some way, but I'd probably be very intimidated by them also.

I usually score as either a sorcerer or wizard. If I'm to go with what I am like right now, sorcerer seems ok. If I were to assume that I would find magic über-interesting (I don't find the studies I've gone with interesting, unfortunately. But magic? Magic sounds VERY interesting! So I might be able to actually concentrate and be motivated to study a lot, unlike right now in real life) I might actually rather be a wizard.

I just noticed the test, and low and behold, I did come out to be Lawful neutral.

Neutral Good

A neutral good character does the best that a good person can do. He is devoted to helping others. He works with kings and magistrates but does not feel beholden to them. 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.

Not bad. I just hate bias.

Lawful Neutral

I tried to pretend that the situations were real, I do not think I would be a lawful neutral character in the game because we can act differently.
