Moral Alignment Test

Inspired by: Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) and the Ethics Position Questionnaire (EPQ)

Modern psychology emphasizes studying individuals’ ethical and moral orientation, examining beliefs, values, and behaviors on a spectrum. The concept of moral alignment involves understanding goodness and behaviors based on ethical and moral beliefs. Moral alignment looks for core dimensions of a person's moral outlook and behavior and some researches have proven to be beneficial such as Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) and Ethical Ideologies – Forsyth’s Ethics Position Questionnaire (EPQ).

In 1974, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) organized characters based on two crucial factors: their ethics (“whether they are lawful, neutral, or chaotic”) and their morals (“whether they are good, neutral, or evil”), resulting in nine possible alignments.

The moral alignment test is based on the same model and framework by providing insights on nine core facets of moral values and ethics.

Answer each statement honestly based on how you usually think, feel, or behave. There are no right or wrong answers. Try to respond naturally rather than choosing answers you think sound better. Your results will show the moral alignment that most closely matches your responses.

This test is designed for people who want to explore their moral values, decision-making style, and personality alignment. It may be interesting for people curious about ethics, role-playing alignments, self-understanding, or personality tests. This quiz is not meant to judge a person’s real-life morality, character, or mental health. The information provided is for educational purposes only.

The assessment measures nine moral alignments:

Lawful Good
Neutral Good
Chaotic Good
Lawful Neutral
True Neutral
Chaotic Neutral
Lawful Evil
Neutral Evil
Chaotic Evil

Higher scores indicate stronger endorsement of the corresponding moral alignment characteristics. The dominant alignment is determined by the highest alignment score.
