Odds are that if you are familiar with things like role-playing then you might very well be familiar with the nine alignment system. The nine alignment system is the general moral and ethical views of a character or person, and is formed of two words that can be split into three ethical categories; lawful, neutral, chaotic, and three moral categories; good, neutral, evil.
I thought it would be pretty interesting for users to highlight our own outlooks and alignments in real life, so I decided to make this thread a place for discussing our own views and alignments, as well as things related to the alignment system generally.
If you do not already know your alignment , then you can just click the link here and take a quiz which will place you on an alignment position based on your answers to its questions.
Additionally, I am also interested in seeing the reasons why we tend to lean towards certain alignments, and what we believe our alignments to mean. Feel free to go beyond simply stating your alignment and commenting and discussing the topic as well.
I fall under the alignment of Lawful Neutral.
This means, to me, that maintaining order, and the rule of law, as well as maintaining a strict adherence of the law, is placed at the forefront of my outlook. Things such as the moral good or evil are less of the foremost concern, and, in terms of morals and ethics, I tend to be driven more by my system of belief than by deciding certain things are good or bad. It means that the law is universally applied to all people, and that no one in any position is to be able to avoid the consequences of violating the law, regardless of they do so for good or evil intentions, although this does not mean that there cannot be reward for honourable actions along with said punishment.

I fall under the alignment of Lawful Neutral.
"A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs her. Order and organization are paramount to her. She may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or she may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. The common phrase for lawful neutral is "true lawful." Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot."
