How many dilemmas should I answer?

Aim for at least 8-10 to see patterns. Isolated answers can be anomalies; repeated patterns show your true alignment tendencies.

Should I answer as I'd act or as I think I should act?

Answer honestly as you'd likely act in reality, not as ideally virtuous. Alignment reflects actual decision-making, not aspirational self.

Inconsistency is normal. Most people aren't purely one alignment. You likely have a primary tendency with secondary patterns in specific contexts.

Yes. Understanding your patterns reveals where your values conflict. Reflection on dilemma responses guides personal moral development.
