If not, I 'll try and make my own, hoefully with some help from the rest of you. But it seems odd that there wouldn't be one (what with all the Ability score calculators, "What D&D character are you?" and Alignment tests on the web).
Thanks.
You make it sound so very simple, and I have no idea what you are saying. Please, would you mind doing that and then posting it here? Thanks
Lets take the original factions. 15 right?
Split them into two groups. Group and Individual (kinda law and chaos, but not really as you'll see by the split). One works better with the group, one prizes individuality (and granted, this is debatable for several factions, but just as an example).
Group: Mercykillers, Harmonium, Fraternity of Order, Anarchist, Doomguard, Dustmen, Athar.
Individual: Xaositect, Transcendant Order, Sign of the One, Believers of the Source, Free League, Fated, Society of Sensation, Bleak Cabal.
Now, based on this, we have:
Question: Do you like to work with a group favoring teamwork and partnerships, or do you prefer to work by yourself going solo?
Repeat said proccess enough times, splitting the factions enough times into enough different groups, and then base the end equation on how many answers fit one specific faction. The 'catagory splits' for the factions need not be even and there can always be a few questions that can net a higher 'score' or rank in one faction or another; questions like "Do you sometimes feel like giving up and ending it all?" would give a few more points towards being a bleaker if answered yes while "Od ouy leef ekil stset era diputs?" might net a few more points for being a Xaositek.
It would still be a heck of alot of work to come up with enough catagorical breakdowns to narrow things down to one of fifteen. Most tests like this have at the most four or five possible outcomes and the questions have four or five choices, making it much simpler to come up with a defining result at the end. With fifteen outcomes, its still far too big an undertaking for me to think of and I've got a few other things on my plate at the momemt. But if someone else gets the inspiration, by all means.
First I'd say take an alignment test. Then consider the following:
Harmonium [LG/LN]
Fraternity of Order [LN]
Mercykillers[LE/LN]
Xaositects[CN]
Fated[can't be LG]
Anarchists[tends twoards chaos and then evil]
Doomguard[tends towards evil and then chaos]
And I forget the other alignment tendencies.

I don't think that the factions in general don't have tendancies toward particular alignments as much as they have tendancies away from alignments. Even among those you put up, I have disagreements. I'd say the anarchists don't tend toward evil and that the doomguard would probably tend to chaos before evil.
Those points aside I think that you don't really need a test to tell you what faction you are unless it is close between a couple. It might be easier to come up with 15 tests that are of the "Are you a Taker?" "Are you a Guvner?" format, about 10 questions or so that gives you a final score of your "fatedness" or what have you. I know that I would be a Godsman (yes, I know they're defunct now, but that wouldn't keep me from refusing to join the Mind's Eye and clinging to my Belief in the Source...after all, this is just another test), an Anarchist (and I'm neutral good :P), or a Bleaker. If I could take a test that would see how strongly my "this is a test" attitude stacks up against my "what's the bleeding point?" or "why are they greedily hording their power?" attitudes, that would make me know my faction more effectively.
