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 personalized profile of the user’s decision-making tendencies.
