How does this system remotely match real life? Where's "is not "good", "evil", "lawful" or "chaotic" by nature and acts based on his culture, his upbringing and his own self-interest"? Where's "acts good or evil depending on his well-being and mood?" Where's "human"?
1. Family elders are expressing disapproval of you to the rest of the family. Do you:
Seek a compromise with the elders
If they are reasonable, compromise is usually achievable, but one should not allow family to walk all over themselves. If they are not reasonable, one should part with the family. Not work against them behind their back. An open challenge, this one would make. Trying to ruin their reputation or attempt to silence them - not.
2. Would you give up a promising career to aid the family in time of need? Yes, with some reluctance
This one would do it, but would quite understandably be sad about it.
3. Would you betray a family member to advance your own career?
I find the very idea abhorrent
No comments here
4. Do you respect the leaders of your family? They're role models for me
This one is lucky to have an awesome family. It does not in any way mean that this one thinks that other people should see their own family as a role models by default. Not every family deserves that.
5. If your family had arranged your marriage to someone loathsome, would you:
Flee
They have no right to do so. in doing so, they've ended any duty I might have had t them.
6.
You're estranged from a family member. On his deathbed, he seeks reconciliation. Do you:
Speak to him, but hold your ground
Which is not to say that this one would be rude to them. But the differences between us do not magically go away because he is dying. However, it might be possible to be reconciled without any of us caving in and losing ground. Difference does not have to mean lack of respect or love.
7. A powerful but corrupt judge offers you wealth if you'll testify against a friend. Do you: Testify on your friend's behalf, no matter the consequences
at least this one hopes so. She is coward, after all. but it would be a right thing to do.
8. Do you become close to friends, or hold most people at a safe distance?
I try to keep people at a distance
9. Have you ever betrayed a friend? I'd never contemplate such a thing
10. How do you view lifelong commitment to a single romantic partner?
Such a romance would be ideal -- if it's achievable
Other options imply that it is a desire for, ahem, variety that makes such commitment impossible. While this one's reasons for not desiring such commitment are completely different.
11. Do you insist on repayment when lending money to friends?
No, although it's sure nice to be repaid
It is quite puzzling to this one just how can one lend anything to friend instead of simply giving.
12. Are you still in touch with childhood friends?
No, I don't have anything in common with them anymore
This one did not have childhood friends and has little in common with acquaintances. The only thing keeping us together is that we happened to be confined in the same space for a better part of day.
19. Your country is wracked with famine. Would you:
Share what food you had with others
If they are doing the same
20. If offered enough money, would you slip a poison into your king's drink?
No, and I'd warn the king of the plot
This one would certainly not betray for money. Now, if she thought tat the king needs to die...
21. A plague is sweeping across your country. Would you:
Flee the country
This one is coward
22. Do you respect the lawful authority of the rulers of the land?
No, a ruler is no better than anyone else
Only a just ruler that rules with the consent of the people is to be respected. Not "a ruler" by definition. They are to be judged just like any other person - by their personal qualities and performance.
23. If you were offered a reasonably lucrative deal, would you spy for a hostile foreign power?
No, because I'd never violate the trust my nation put in me
24. Do you rely on the government to enforce contracts and property rights? Yes, because the courts are best equipped to handle such disputes
25. If imprisoned, would you injure or kill others to escape? No, except for minor wounds that will heal easily
That is assuming that this one generally agrees with the law tat got her imprisoned. If it is something only a corrupt tyrant would enforce - dissent, for example - then the guards serving the corrupt regime and wilfully blind to it's crimes and to the cries of innocents they imprison have it coming.
26. Do you accept a noble's right to treat badly the serfs who work on his land?
No one has any "right" to treat another badly. Period
Period.
27. You have accidentally committed a crime. Do you:
Confess, and attempt to make restitution to the victim
If this one's actions led to harming another, she should correct that
28. If guilty, would you confess to a crime? Yes, because it is my duty to do so
IF this one agrees with the law. Notice the big if.
29. Would you express a revolutionary political opinion if threatened with punishment?
No, although I might privately express my opinion to friends
This one is a coward.
30. While traveling, you witness an assault. You are ordered to testify, which will delay your travel significantly. Do you:
Give only what I wouldn't miss anyway -- a copper or two at most
33. By using magic, you could fool village merchants into thinking your copper pieces were made of gold. Do you?
No, it's too risky
34. You have two job offers. One pays more, but the other is secure and steady. Which do you choose? The secure job, unless the other job was outrageously lucrative
This one does not handle stress well
35. What's the best path to wealth?
It's a matter of luck and being in the right place at the right time
36. If you accepted a job or contract, would you try to finish the task even if it got much more dangerous?
Comments
It doesn't.
Appropriate, though most of the question are rather weird and miss the crucial information that would matter for this oone when making a decision.

No, my local community would be a waste of time and money
Besides, this one is, regrettably, way too lazy
14. Your community is threatened with invasion. Do you:
Man the barricades with the rest of the community
This one would flee if none of her kin and friends remained, though. she'd fight for them, not for a larger whole.
15. If you were injured and required immediate assistance, would members of your home community agree to help?
Probably not, because I'm distrusted by the powers that be
Actually, "not, because noone could be bothered"
16. Do you respect the laws and authorities in the community?
Yes, they're generally the best way to govern
If they aren't - they can go to the Nine Hells
17. Do members of the community shun, avoid, or mock you?
Yes, their small minds can't handle anyone outside the norm
Humans are bastards, after all.
18. Would you stand for office or seek to represent the interests of the community in some public manner?
Only if no one else could handle the job
This one is shy, alright? And is afraid to make everyone mad by performing poorly
I didn't even take the quiz!
Share what food you had with others
If they are doing the same

30. While traveling, you witness an assault. You are ordered to testify, which will delay your travel significantly. Do you:
Remain reluctantly, testify, and leave
Provide for the needs of friends and family
32. When confronted by beggars, do you:
Give only what I wouldn't miss anyway -- a copper or two at most
33. By using magic, you could fool village merchants into thinking your copper pieces were made of gold. Do you?
No, it's too risky

Yes, my word is my bond
Seek a compromise with the elders
Note: Unfortunately there is no "Respectfully disagree" option.
Would you give up a promising career to aid the family in time of need?

Do you become close to friends, or hold most people at a safe distance?
I have some close friends
Have you ever betrayed a friend?

Do you insist on repayment when lending money to friends?

Are you still in touch with childhood friends?
Yes, we try to keep in touch
Do you donate time and money to improve the local community?
No, I don't have enough time or money to spareNote: though for a time I did do some custodial work at Town Hall and the local Fire Department.
Your community is threatened with invasion. Do you:
Help defend it to your last breathIf you were injured and required immediate assistance, would members of your home community agree to help?
Yes, because I'm generally well liked
Do you respect the laws and authorities in the community?
When it suits me -- there are some laws I just don't agree withNote: admittedly this was a tough choice between the last two.
Do members of the community shun, avoid, or mock you?
