Overview

The Moral Alignment Test Application is a personality analysis tool developed as a Windows Forms application using C# and .NET 8.0. Inspired by classic role-playing game alignment systems, it determines a user’s moral and ethical alignment through a series of questions. This version expands traditional alignment with five custom traits, offering a more refined and personalised profile of the user’s decision-making tendencies.

Features

• 17 Carefully Designed Questions: Each question presents 5 distinct answers that influence multiple moral, ethical, and custom trait axes.
• Classic Alignment Axes: Calculates user alignment across:
  • Moral Axis: Good – Neutral – Evil
  • Ethical Axis: Lawful – Neutral – Chaotic
• Custom Trait System: Adds nuanced layers to the alignment system with additional traits:
  • Steadfast
  • Selective
  • Cunning
  • Compassionate
  • Ruthless
• Interactive Navigation: Users can move forward and backward between questions to modify their answers before submitting.
• Reset Option: Easily restart the entire test at any time.
• Alignment Summary Output: Calculates and displays a combined alignment result (e.g. Cunning Chaotic Good) based on the dominant custom trait and standard axes.

How It Works

• Question Display: Each screen presents one question with five multiple-choice answers.
• Answer Selection: Users select their preferred answer, which records their response and updates the score values behind the scenes.
• Navigation: The Back button allows users to revisit previous questions and change their answers.
• Submission: Upon answering all questions, clicking Submit triggers score calculation.
• Results: The app sums up all the axis and trait scores, identifies the user’s alignment, and displays it.

Development Details

• Platform: Windows Forms (.NET 8.0)
• Language: C#
• Architecture:
  • The core logic is built around a Question class that contains:
    • The question text
    • Answer options
    • Scoring data for moral/ethical axes and custom traits
  • Scores are aggregated as integer values across:
    • Lawful/Chaotic axis
    • Good/Evil axis
    • Custom traits dictionary
  • The UI includes:
    • Question label
    • Five radio buttons for answers
    • Navigation buttons (Next, Back, Reset)
    • Result label for displaying the final alignment

Scoring System

• Moral Axis:
  • Positive points increase Good, negative points increase Evil, and zero represents Neutral.
• Ethical Axis:
  • Positive points increase Lawful, negative points increase Chaotic, and zero represents Neutral.
• Custom Traits:
  • Each answer may increase one or more of the following:
    • Steadfast
    • Selective
    • Cunning
    • Compassionate
    • Ruthless
  • The highest scoring trait becomes the prefix of the final alignment.
• Final Result Composition:
  • Example output: Steadfast Chaotic Good
  • If no custom trait exceeds 0, only the standard alignment is shown.
