lol yes is does mean that. lol its all good buddy.
I think being good as an internal feeling of no shame is an illusion, some experiments have shown that some people commit more bad things when they know there will not be any consequence to their action or they are anonymous.

This is very true. Human nature is a very complicated thing and I'm glad this thread is back because it's interesting to analyze.
I really put thought into my answer and said neutral good. I am not special and have no particular convictions, but I am nice to people/things.
But if I woke up tomorrow with superpowers, I am definitely going to start doing evil things. There is a deep hate inside that boils up sometimes. I think to some degree, this is normal for people. But without any way to act on it, it's just easier to ignore it and be "good".
I chose Chaotic Good. And why not? I've always been more like that than anything else. And anyway, I need to remember how to play this game because the last time I played D&D was when I was in college. We often liked to gather in the same office after classes and sometimes played until nightfall. Yes, my parents didn't like it very much, but my desire to play was just tremendous. So now I'm thinking of getting together some old friends from college and playing in my house again. First, however, it is necessary to remember the rules and how certain spells and classes work. Still, I will find this on the Internet, I think...

So what does that really make me?
People being good just because of consequences is a misconception i myself had for the majority of my life. The data however and my experiences once i became more open minded show me otherwise. There were a couple of researches i read years ago on the subject. The one i remember more clearly was about people shooting with paintball gun a person on the back on a room with no monitoring. The subjects knew that they would not be monitored. What they didn't know however, is that the paintballs were counted and when the test was concluded, the researchers knew how many had actually shot the dude (+the dude could count how many shot him but not who). After about 2000 participants (if i recall correctly) about only 5% had shot the dude. Similar tests showed pretty much the same.
What was more fascinating is that most people not only avoid being "evil" but they were anxious about being good. They were really contemplating about their actions and moral standing. On the contrary people who were certain about their actions and morality had serious sociopathic and narcissistic tendencies. That's why fundamentalists had nearly double the chances of being one of the two.
Long story short, you are propably a good guy, so congrats!

I would love to see a study in which I can feel more identified. Good? Bad? I probably would had tried shooting other pariticipants just for the lols. XD
Ok, ok, if I had to honestly choose between being a good or a bad person, I would choose the former every single time, because in the end I'm just a nice dude trying to have a bit of fun on the internet, but for some reason I'm not super proud of it (but I would love to :P).
When I was a kid, Chaotic Good was my favorite alignment, so yeah...
I like an even balance in the world. I can’t stand the extreme on either end but always find myself able to work with anyone where many can not. And when the planet lashes out I always side with Mother Nature.
I am gonna say neutral good, because tbh my evil side is kinda petty and weak. That said, I won't say I have never been tempted on doing bad things or indulged in things I might should not. And I definitively have no strict moral compass on doing it, but maybe not enough to be chaotic.
