I was thinking about alignment, as I so often do, when I remembered a personality test covered in my AP Psychology class. So, I figured, why not combine the two, and see if there's any corellation(sp?)?

Of course, I can't do it on my own, being just one man. So, I turn to the GitP forums. What I want you all to do is take two tests, and then post the results.

First: An online Myers-Briggs personality test (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes2.asp) that picks out four criteria, for which you have two possible results. As a side note, the test results will contain a couple links which may make for interesting reading, and the Wiki article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers-Briggs_Type_Indicator) has information on the test as a whole. I, personally, am Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving.

Second: An online alignment test (http://www.mjyoung.net/dungeon/javalign.html), normally meant to aid in figuring out what alignment a given character should be. Read the instructions carefully, otherwise you may be confused as to what you should do. I'm Chaotic Good.

After I feel that I have gotten all the results I'm likely to get, I'll note my findings in either this topic or one of the alignment articles I'm working on. If you want to help, but don't want your results to be publicly known, feel free to PM me.

Thanks for your time.

INFJ and Lawful Good, on the Neutral-Lawful border. In the What Race/Class/Alignment/Stats quiz (If that has any bearing on the topic) my result was LG Half-orc Paladin, STR 9 DEX 12 CON 13 INT 12 WIS 13 CHA 14.

Now I've played two characters, quite different in a number of ways (they'd almost have to be; the older character was a Paladin, the other is CG Rogue!)

For the first - a Fey'Ri Paladin whose backstorystory goes basically "She was originally Neutral. Her god appeared vaguely to her in a dream, telling her that she was better than her evil brethren and should go out and do good", she started as a standard Lawful Good Paladin, but between becoming friends with the Chaotic Good party Rogue and various other things including her God being revealed to be Elistrae (who is Chaotic Good), eventually switched to being a Paladin of Freedom (Chaotic Good), though she still struggled a little to over being Lawfully-inclined at times.

On the alignment test she got, amusingly enough, NEUTRAL GOOD. Which averages out fairly close to how I played her, I suppose. :P

Unfortunately, I shall have to test the Rogue out a few hours from now at the least, as I'm leaving work and going off to my grandmother's for dinner and such. Everyone else wants to leave, oh, NOW. :P So, yeah. I'll be back...

Oh, I thought you were wondering what kinds of characters people of that personality would be inclined to play (like I don't typically play Evil-aligned characters for example), sorry. In hindsight, I should have understood what you meant. In any case, so here's my Myers-Briggs (which by the way, I get the feeling may or may not score a little differently depending on my mood; there were some questions on there that I would have in real life said "Yes in some circumstances, no in others" to or "In an ideal world, I would always be like this, but I don't always succeed...", though I answered as best I could for basically the type of person I usually am or the way I try to behave most often, depending on which seemed more "core me". I also tried to be brutally honest. So, you got me answering yes to "ordering things is pleasurable" and no to "my desk is always neat". My desk is atrociously messy - as is my bedroom, unfortunately - but I like to order things OTHER than material objects, namely information. I think it all probably balanced itself out in the end though, as it kind of sounds like me, I guess...)

I'd like to ask though if your "alignment" thing is based on how we approach the game, or how we approach LIFE, as well as in the latter case if we can be a little metaphorical in how we read it if need be. Because, to be frank, I'd probably be a lot more cowardly than my characters! :P

Sounds about right... though I ended up picking some of the answers almost at random because they weren't clear or required a YES or NO answer specifically. Meh.

The alignment test... was retarded. My answer was not too far off (NG with a leaning towards LG), but as a test the thing stinks. Especially questions 6-10. Any test that forces you to "agree" with one of it's questions just because there can't be any tied answers has problems. Take questions 8-9, for example. Those are a pain to rank.

How you approach life, of course. But don't be too "metaphorical"; if you don't live up to what you believe in, what's the point of the belief?

This one kinda sucked, though, and is also the only test of its kind that I've taken that labels me Neutral on the Order axis. Every other alignment test has me as Chaotic Good or Chaotic Neutral, and though I'm not one of the "down with government! anarchy woo!" sorts of people, I am definitely Chaotic... the only real point of argument on any of these tests (and one I can't answer myself) is between Neutral (morality) and Good, as my solutions to problems and my speech are somewhat unkind and direct (and, for the former, tend to be of a bladed variety), even if I am focused on doing what's best for others.

I'm LN and apperently i am a iNTJ, or a Matermind Rational


Of the four aspects of strategic analysis and definition, it is the contingency planning or entailment organizing role that reaches the highest development in Masterminds. Entailing or contingency planning is not an informative activity, rather it is a directive one in which the planner tells others what to do and in what order to do it. As the organizing capabilities the Masterminds increase so does their inclination to take charge of whatever is going on.

It is in their abilities that Masterminds differ from the other Rationals, while in most of their attitudes they are just like the others. However there is one attitude that sets them apart from other Rationals: they tend to be much more self-confident than the rest, having, for obscure reasons, developed a very strong will. They are rather rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population. Being very judicious, decisions come naturally to them; indeed, they can hardly rest until they have things settled, decided, and set. They are the people who are able to formulate coherent and comprehensive contingency plans, hence contingency organizers or "entailers."

Masterminds will adopt ideas only if they are useful, which is to say if they work efficiently toward accomplishing the Mastermind's well-defined goals. Natural leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command of projects or groups, preferring to stay in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once in charge, however, Masterminds are the supreme pragmatists, seeing reality as a crucible for refining their strategies for goal-directed action. In a sense, Masterminds approach reality as they would a giant chess board, always seeking strategies that have a high payoff, and always devising contingency plans in case of error or adversity. To the Mastermind, organizational structure and operational procedures are never arbitrary, never set in concrete, but are quite malleable and can be changed, improved, streamlined. In their drive for efficient action, Masterminds are the most open-minded of all the types. No idea is too far-fetched to be entertained-if it is useful. Masterminds are natural brainstormers, always open to new concepts and, in fact, aggressively seeking them. They are also alert to the consequences of applying new ideas or positions. Theories which cannot be made to work are quickly discarded by the Masterminds. On the other hand, Masterminds can be quite ruthless in implementing effective ideas, seldom counting personal cost in terms of time and energy.

Alignment is Neutral Neutral, 2 towards Chaotic and 2 towards Evil. I have a lot of contradictory ideas on that sort of quiz, so it would need to have many more choices to get a good estimate of my alignment, but I probably am close to True Neutral, as are most people in theory.

These results don't really come as a suprise to me, though I normall score in the single digits for judging in my personality test (I guess I'm on the brink between percieving and judging, but leaning on the J side).

On similar alignment tests I usually score similar as well, neutral good, tending twords lawful good, which comfortably fits into my personality type.

Looking at others results I'm noticing most of us are Introverted, and that intuitive and thinking are both far more common then then their opposites. Juding and perciving are fairly close. This could say something about the people of this forum, or rather RPG players in general. It's also interesting that INTP and INTJ (two of the rarest types, especially the latter) are fairly common round here.

By the way, #7 on the alignment test is idiotic. I mean, seriously, I have to agree with at least one of the following: "
a) If people were free, crime would disappear.
b) Prosperity for all is only possible where crime is controlled.
c) Government makes it possible for the best people to rise to the top.
d) The function of the police is to oppress those who are just trying to survive."

None of which I actually Agree with because all of them either grate against my ideals or just make no logical sense whatsoever? Ugh.

See, cause I look at a question like that and I actually think "I can't agree with ANY of that" because - for a.) People were "free" for thousands of years. The fact that the concept of crime came about proves that theory goes right out the window. b.) "where crime is controlled" = China my first thought. *shudders*, c.)Best people? Oh, lord can I think of a list that contradicts this. Foreign diplomats chosen because of political connections instead of whether they can understand or even speak the main language of the country they're a diplomat of comes to mind for one. and as to d.)? Only if your country really, really sucks. Not only do I not "agree" with any of them, the test won't let me "disagree" with more than one! You need to find a test that's set up better before you really rely on these results, is all I'm saying.

The big problem is when they have answers to questions that are almost sure to provide tied answers, which the test does not allow for. See above.

Anyway, here's what I got:

Chaotic Good

With 13 points towards Chaotic
and 9 points towards Good

Here's how it tested in numbers:

Good 34
Evil 25
Lawful 24
Chaotic 37

The questions referring to "adventures" or "as an adventurer" I decided should refer to life and going through life. I decided that "adventurer" as a profession should refer to someone willing to take any kind of risk, not just climbing cliffs and stuff, a "hero" was a noble person who tries to do good in the world, and a "rogue" was someone who is very, very clever at manipulating people and situations to their own advantage (though whether they use such capabilities to do Good or not would be up in the air). In order to answer #7 at all, I decided to interpret "propserity" as more than wealth (i.e. things like health and happiness) and "crime" as something along the lines of "infringing on the rights of others". Seriously, it was the only way I could agree with any of it!

Some of the questions, I could very easily see semantic ways of wriggling out of it, really. Like "Any situation can be made to work to one's own advantage.". Note that it says "can" and not "should". You'd have to be very optimistic in mankind's ingenuity to Agree to that.

I know! #7 was a stupidly-worded question. I think I answered "disagree" on that particular part of it, because, while it has served to support a number of ancient economies and while select ancient cultures did treat slaves remarkably well (I could swear I read that the ancient Greeks in certain city states - Athens, maybe? - actually gave a lot of their slaves some training in a profession and a small bit of education, along with providing relatively comfortable room and board), but they were talking in general. Also, they didn't seem to be referring to indentured servitude, but actual involuntary servitude (the word "slavery" implies this rather strongly). Indentured servitude (the practice of working off one's debt by being a personal servant for a few months or years) would have gotten a much less "NO WAY" answer from me, since it's at least voluntary, and generally ends within a few years, unlike the alternative. I of course answered "disagree" on that because I was looking at it from "acceptable solution from a moral standpoint" perspective combined with that. Though I can see why you answered that way, from a logical and "I have to not Disagree with three of these things..." standpoint. :P

Well, greek slaves in ancient Rome got professional training and were paid for there jobs as doctors, if that's what you mean.

Anyway, I think that each choice should have been a seperate question, and asked our opinion on each one seperately. Some of them I disagreed strongly with more than one, or aggreed strongly on more than one.

I hate raining on parades, but I think the forecast calls for drizzle.

Your results are not going to be worth much, sadly. The problems are mainly twofold:
1) Poor sampling
Taking a sample from an online community is almost never a good idea. It's not likely to be representative.
2) Test validity
The MBTI itself has enough validity and reliability problems, let alone an online D&D personality test. You might find inter-test correlation, but what exactly is the purpose?

Hope you didn't get too soggy.

I just tested as ENFJ (1, 62, 12, 44). I think that's the first time I've ever showed up on the "F" end of the spectrum. I've been ISTP, INTJ, ENTJ, ENTP, and ESTJ before, and I consider myself a strong T type (with E/I almost equally matched, P/J almost equally matched, and a tendency toward N.) Am I insane, or just difficult to label?

I also tested as Lawful Good (9L 21G // Good 39 Evil 18 Lawful 36 Chaotic 27)

2007-06-11, 01:43 PM
I rated lawful good(more Lawful than good....Miko?) and INTP(56, 62, 12, 22). Would have probably rated less good and more lawful If IŽd had the option of sometimes tying in Questions (did it 5 times..........).

No really, alignment is interesting, especially if you choose soemthing which might fit the character. When in doubt, alignment is also a beacon to head by. Some take it out of convenience(the typical True Neutral wizard, with definite evil tendencies like always and firstly looking out for number 1 or our cleric of Kord Erythnul who only wanted the Greatsword), but especially for Beer&Pretzels Characters it offers the option of introducing rp later on during play.......

i need to rethink things it seems. i am INFJ and Chaotic Evil.

edit: i think i got chaotic because i tend towards the taoist teachings of "the government that governs best, governes least." i believe in following your own set of moral principles to the T. so i guess i am evil. but i think i am lawful- most of the time, though the things i have done in the past would suggest otherwise.

INTP and neutral evil. Hehe.

INTP

(I took this test not to long ago, but I remember the thinking/feeling was really close)

And Chaotic Good.

22 Points towards Chaotic
10 Points towards Good

(No real suprises there except possibly the margin towards good... I always viewed myself more towards neutral.)

I just tested as ENFJ (1, 62, 12, 44). I think that's the first time I've ever showed up on the "F" end of the spectrum. I've been ISTP, INTJ, ENTJ, ENTP, and ESTJ before, and I consider myself a strong T type (with E/I almost equally matched, P/J almost equally matched, and a tendency toward N.) Am I insane, or just difficult to label?

Perhaps either, or both, but likely neither. The MBTI doesn't have particularly good test-retest reliability. The types are somewhat fluid.

prufock - I think inter-test correlation might be interesting in itself. Sure, if he's planning on publishing a paper this won't hold any water, but I'm interested to see what he makes of this.

I'm open to the idea that the tests may correlate, but this methodology leaves a lot to be desired, so even to the extent that we're only looking at the tests, the validity of the results will be suspect.

On the Typology I was INTJ, just like always. Percents were: 78 12 38 56

On the alignment quiz I was LG, but out of all the alignment quizzes I've taken I average a LN so thats what I think I am.

Woot.

INTJ- which, MB say, is one of the rarest combinations going, and yet we seem to be a rather large fraction in the playground.
I-100 (Very!)
N- 50 (moderate)
T- 62 (moderate)
J- 67 (moderate)

And Lawful Good, 11 points to L and 17 to Good. In practice, I tend to think of myself as more LN because I'm also a coward.

ENFP
Strength of the preferences:
1%, 38%, 12%, and 67%

Neutral Good
3 points toward chaotic, 21 points toward good.
(I also found this test extremely frustrating)
