Got this one from Uncle Andrew:

Your Score: Lawful-Good

78% Good, 32% Chaotic

Plane of Existence: Mount Celestia, "The Seven Heavens". Description: Countless paladins and saints have ascended here. Notable Inhabitants: Angels and Devas.

Examples of Lawful-Goods (Ethically Lawful, Morally Good)

Aeris "Aerith" Gainsborough (FFVII)
Superman
The Tick ("Lawful Stupid")
Abraham Lincoln
Sherlock Holmes
Phileas Fogg
Captain Picard

A person with a lawful good attitude believes in the use of authority and rule of law to bring good to the greatest number of people. Her/His actions support the status quo and s/he uses systems and organizations to achieve good goals.

S/He will keep his/her word and value truth.
S/He will avoid the use of poison and use violence only when authorized to do so or in self defense.
S/He may or may not be disciplined, organized, emotionally restrained, caring, compassionate, and peaceful, but s/he believes that these are admirable qualities.
Respects law and order and is willing to suffer limitations on individual freedom for the benefit of the group.
Puts moral principles before material considerations.
The lawful good person will be a very faithful member of a group, but if the laws of the group clash with the ethics dictated by his or her moral alignment, the lawful good person will probably leave that group and look for a group more closely aligned with his or her ethics.
The lawful good person is an active advocate of his or her beliefs.

Lawful Good "Saintly"
"Crusader"

A lawful good [person] upholds society and its laws, believing that these laws are created to work for the good and prosperity of all. He is both honest and benevolent. He will work within the established system to change it for the better, and strives to bring order to goodness that other good-aligned [people] might pool their resources to better the world. A lawful good [person] combines a commitment to oppose evil with discipline. Most lawful good [people] live by a strict code of honor, or by the rules of conduct set down by their deity. They will generally selflessly act by these codes even at the cost of their own life.

Lawful good combines honor and compassion for the innocent.

A knight/paladin who always follows the orders of his superiors is an example of a lawful good [person].

I suspect I'm a little more chaotic depending on the day, but anyone who's ever met me would pretty much tell you I'm lawful good. It's not hard to spot. And I'm pretty happy with the company, although the DC Superman as of late is a complete and utter git who seriously has his panties wedged up his butt.

Oddly, I got "True Neutral". On the up side, I'm in the company of Mr. Spock and Cananda. ;-D

That is odd, yes. I wouldn't have pegged you as a true neutral at all, although goodness knows you're a big Canada fan. :-)

You Too, Eh?

So you got Lawful Good with a big ol' jigger of Chaotic too, huh? Funny, I have trouble picturing either of us that way. Personally, I don't see myself as either calm and reasoned enough for Picard nor dumb and goofy enough for The Tick (speaking of superheroes with their costumes wedged in their cracks). And as for Honest Abe....I should live so long....

I think the test was skewed for lawful, myself. I suspect both you and I are a bit more libertarian than the results suggest. Then again, I know that I'm pretty lawful by nature; I'll go along with the law unless I see reason otherwise, in which case... ;-)
