Lawful Good
A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. She combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. She tells the truth, keeps her word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion.
Chaotic Good
A chaotic good character acts as his conscience directs him with little regard for what others expect of him. He makes his own way, but he's kind and benevolent. He believes in goodness and right but has little use for laws and regulations. He hates it when people try to intimidate others and tell them what to do. He follows his own moral compass, which, although good, may not agree with that of society.
Lawful Neutral
A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs her. Order and organization are paramount to her. She may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or she may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. The common phrase for lawful neutral is "true lawful." Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot.
Based on your answers to the quiz, your character's most likely alignment is Neutral.
Neutral
A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutrality is a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil. After all, she would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, she's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. The common phrase for neutral is "true neutral." Neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion.
It said neutral (like ChamberNut), but I think it was just confused. I also think it cannot differentiate between some contradictory answers and just averages them(hence neutral).
There was rarely an answer that satisfactorily represented the answer I wanted to give. For example: Do you respect the lawful authority of the rulers of the land?
Yes. Long live the queen!
Yes, our rulers are generally fair and just
No, a ruler is no better than anyone else
No, rulers are invariably corrupted by power
I would like to answer yes, a ruler is no better than anyone else and is often corrupted by power the longer they stay in power. So which do I pick?

These sort of quizzes don't allow folks to waver, and this one was especially designed well, at least from a social science perspective. Everyone has inclinations and proclivities toward. The point, at least for me, of these sorts of things is to analyze myself to figure out which, when my hand is forced, would I select.

Good point. I picked my answers in exactly the same manner.

I noticed that with the very first question; the only answers were:
Accept the criticism and change your ways
Seek a compromise with the elders
Besmirch the reputation of the elders as you ignore their scorn
Silence the elders any way you can
There was no, Ignore them and do what you have to do. There was no way to be an individual without being an asshole. Besmirch or silence? A little extreme. I decided not to take the test.

I resent the very idea! >:(

I would suggest that you're perhaps being a bit too stringent or rigid with your definitions. These sort of tests cannot be designed in the way that you desire, the main reason being the space. There are tests which you can take which do have more fully fleshed out answer arrays, but you have to pay for those and they tend to be read and understood by psychologists.

Okay. I took the test and, no surprise, I'm
Neutral. This does describe me pretty well in a general way: "They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run."
I do believe if the entire world were
Switzerlandicized we'd all be a lot better off.
Mrs. Rock took it too: Chaotic Neutral. Yeah, that's her :D

As for the second test:
Lawful Good Elf Ranger Mage
(must be good, good being right there in the title)
Lawful Good Dwarf Ranger Fighter
Follower Of Mielikki
Alignment:
Lawful Good characters are the epitome of all that is just and good. They believe in order and governments that work for the benefit of all, and generally do not mind doing direct work to further their beliefs.
Race:
Dwarves are short and stout, and easily recognizable by their well-cared-for beards. They are hard workers, and adept at stonework and engineering. They tend to live apart from other races; generally in deep, underground excavated systems, and as such tend to be distant from other races.
Primary Class:
Rangers are the defenders of nature and the elements. They are in tune with the Earth, and work to keep it safe and healthy.
Secondary Class:
Fighters are the warriors. They use weapons to accomplish their goals. This isn't to say that they aren't intelligent, but that they do, in fact, believe that violence is frequently the answer.
Deity:
Mielikki is the Neutral Good goddess of the forest and autumn. She is also known as the Lady of the Forest, and is the Patron of Rangers. Her followers are devoted to nature, and believe in the positive and outreaching elements of it. They use light armor, and a variety of weapons suitable for hunting, which they are quite skilled at. Mielikki's symbol is a unicorn head.

Chaotic Good Human Druid Paladin
Follower Of Shaundakul
Alignment:
Chaotic Good characters are independent types with a strong belief in the value of goodness. They have little use for governments and other forces of order, and will generally do their own things, without heed to such groups.
Race:
Humans are the 'average' race. They have the shortest life spans, and because of this, they tend to avoid the racial prejudices that other races are known for. They are also very curious and tend to live 'for the moment'.
Primary Class:
Druids are a special variety of Cleric who serves the Earth, and can call upon the power in the earth to accomplish their goals. They tend to be somewhat fanatical about defending natural settings.
Secondary Class:
Paladins are the Holy Warriors. They have been chosen by a God/dess to be their representative on Earth, and must follow the code of that deity, or risk severe penalties. They tend towards being righteous, but not generally to excess.
Deity:
Shaundakul is the Chaotic Good god of travel and exploration. He is also known as the Rider of the Winds. His followers are typically rangers, and work to protect the land. They typically wear leather armor, and carry long swords and short bows. Shaundakul's symbol is a white hand with the index finger raised.

Well not really. What it means is that if you're able to optimize yourself to the fullest, this is the best possible outcomes. There are a plethora of outcomes for which someone of your alignment can achieve. The one that they selected for you is simply the 'best' given what they know.
