I am Lawful Good. It's true!! In fact, a little old lady once told me that I do God's work.
Problem is, as part of my paladin calling I answer to a higher law which, unfortunately, rarely coincides with temporal edicts. :(
But, don't worry, good Paizonians, when the forces of darkness are nigh and all remembrance of light seems vanguished, fear not! For as long as Doodlebug Anklebiter, Goblin Paladin, draws breath--[bubble bubble bubble]--hope lives on!

L/C is too tricky. I'm personally not a drama queen, and enjoy acting efficiently, and being by myself. Those questions peg me as "lawful." On the flip side, I'm a fierce iconoclast, despise established authority, and won't let anyone else tell me how to live. All those questions peg me as strongly "chaotic."
"Neutral" just doesn't cut it.

Leaning toward chaotic. I don't care for written law and the profession connected with it.
Neither do I, as a rule.
Well, depending on what kind of lawyer. One of my mother's friends is a specialist in corporate law, who never works for large corporations, but rather for people suing them. That's really pretty cool.

I've got a good friend I used to game with, who went to college to study acting. He was a great gamer, good friend, all-around nice guy.
He went off to Chicago and got into acting for a while, then dissappeared into law college in Louisiana. He has since come home, and he's definitely not the guy he used to be. He's not what you'd call a rules lawyer, but a life lawyer.
Everything--absolutely everything is a debate with him. And it doesn't matter what you believe or what's true. It only matters what you can prove.

Probably somewhere between True Neutral and Chaotic Neutral. Anything Lawful is definitely out, and while I'd like to be Good in theory, I have to admit that most my actions are motivated by "how will this benefit me or those closest to me?". I like to think that someone with a Good alignment would act accordingly to most if not all people they meet, not just their friends and family, and that rules me out.

Very few people are fessing up to being evil on this thread. I call shenanigans.
I would speculate that in real life, and in Pathfinder as well, self-reported alignments are highly unreliable.
That says more about your perception of people than people themselves.
See, that can play both ways.
I think most people are neutral good. They favor helping people but still help themselves, and use the law or break it depending on risks and necessity.

It's not that I think people are evil; I don't.
I just suspect that where people would place themselves on the good/evil spectrum is more indicative of their sense of self-worth than of their actual moral compass. The only people I have ever known to think of themselves as evil or wicked are people burdened with a sense of self-loathing.
People who would actually meet the criteria of "evil" would never describe themselves as such.

I've known several people that thought they were evil, or that altruism was for pussies and that they were going to take what they wanted and had a fun time doing it.
One guy was a paramedic talking about how he cheated on his girl by having a threesome. I asked if it happened at his home to which he replied, "pfft, no. I wouldn't take those kinds of perversions back around my daughter."
And of course there are worse. They knew they weren't good people.

Supposedly, I'm True Neutral...which does make a fair bit of sense, all things considered.
I think, however, that the test I took was kinda...not accurate in its responses. For example, a lot of the questions on money were like 'what's the best way to make money' and the answers were like 'be a manipulative turd, be kinda turdy, work hard like a tool, be a giant tool'. Personally, I'm not in this game of life for the money...only reason I'm still here is because this shit is just starting to get interesting XP
But eh...I figure I'm somewhere on the scale between TN and CN.

In a sense, calling oneself "evil" is just another form of self-deprecation.
In the same sense, I don't think I'm... "proud" enough to call myself "good".

Indeed. And never underestimate the ability of the human mind to rationalize unethical behavior.
And never underestimate the human mind's desire and capacity to classify as rationalization that which goes against their own opinions. I experience a lot of that around here.
As for me, I'm pretty certain that I'm NG -> CG.

Every alignment test I've ever taken comes out True Neutral.
I call shenanigans on the tests however. They're asking the questions wrong and are much too easy to manipulate. My attempts to not manipulate the system just lead me to waffle in how I manipulate it thereby leading to a result of true neutral.
The result though may be accurate in spite of all that.
