This Alignment Test Will Help You Find Your Place in the Afterlife
by Jonah Ostroff (Seattle)
Are you lawful, chaotic, or neutral? Good, evil, or neutral? This, that, or the other? And, wait, who’s the third member of your party?
Page of 1 1
Lawful Good Seeing the silver lining. Adopting a cat from an animal shelter.
Neutral Good Asking “if not me, who?”. Eating a vegetable-based diet.
Chaotic Good Freeing a prisoner who had been sealed away. Celebrating life. Finding the happy medium.
Lawful Neutral Emulating the Romans. Making sure everything goes the way it should. Agreeing with Tom Hobbes.
True Neutral Waving flags in the air. • A • F • K
• B • G • L
• C • H • M
• D • I
• E • J
Chaotic Neutral Disobeying a signed document. Getting enemies bent out of shape. Trusting only myself.
Lawful Evil Making the trains run on time. Trying to lock up political opponents. Erecting a bronze statue of my likeness. Refusing to skip steps. Serving a tyrannical queen.
Neutral Evil Hijacking planes. Taking over the universe. Making a short hop on an enemy’s corpse. Oppressing the small folk.
Chaotic Evil Crashing the stock market. Betraying friends. Being a dick for no reason. Caring jack squat about anyone else.
The twenty-six bold words can be paired up to form the first two words of a three-word list, like "Planes, trains, and automobiles".Identify the third words, which start with the letters A-M, then read the positions of the first two words as semaphore.
The phrases are:Planes, trains, and automobilesLock, stock, and barrelFriends, Romans, countrymenSigned, sealed, delivered

Meta-Behavioral Temperament Inspection by Jonah Ostroff (Seattle)
Fit your answers into the grid below, one letter per square, according to their personalities. Answers may not overlap. No letter may repeat within a row or column. Each word starts in one of the dashed boxes. Introverts sometimes use inside cells, while Extroverts only use outside cells. Intuitors are adjacent to all other words, while Sensors are not. Feelers can sometimes move diagonally, while Thinkers only move orthogonally. Judgers move in a straight line, while Perceivers make one or more turns. Once you’re done, you’ll know the results of your personality test!

Can You Navigate This Political Compass? by Jonah Ostroff (Seattle)
In the grid to the right, we’ve plotted the beliefs of eleven voters along two axes. Six polls indicate how many voters lie in the given direction. You must locate the voters, and then draw a single closed loop through all of the remaining squares.
Any voter in the first four rows is authoritarian, and must be inside the loop. Any voter in the bottom four rows is an anarchist, and must be outside the loop. A voter in the middle row can follow either rule.
Any voter in the left four columns believes in collectivism, and must be adjacent to exactly one other voter. Any voter in the right four columns believes in individual freedom, and must not be adjacent to any other voter. A voter in the middle column can follow either rule.
Here’s an example grid. What will you follow to win the election?
