[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8290444, member: 52734"] I have an image in my mind of what each alignment entails (based on the alignment write-ups from 3E, actually). As a DM, when I see it appear on a monster stat block, that helps me attune to how it will act when presented. My basic breakdown for personally handling alignment [SPOILER]Lawfuls seek organization in the way they look at things and working as a group or unit. Neutrals worry about themselves. Chaotics seek independence and freedom and chaff at restrictions. Good seeks to alleviate pain and suffering; they try to mitigate adverse consequences. Evil seeks to inflict harm and suffering or simply don't care about consequences.[/SPOILER] As a player, it's less useful and I lean on Personality/Ideals/Bonds/Flaws much more, and the alignment is for any spell/game effects - which have been pretty much stripped out of 5E.
