I absolutely love this test, I learnt about it over 5 years ago and its still great to bring up with a bunch of friends over a beer or a dinner...

What you have to do, is give your honest opinion about morals and honesty of the four characters in the following story of Sherwood Forest .

Forget any preconceived ideas you may have about them - this is a different sort of story from all the others.

Quote:
The Sheriff of Nottingham captured Little John and Robin Hood and imprisoned them in his maximum-security dungeon. Maid Marion begged the Sheriff for their release, pleading her love for Robin. The Sheriff agreed to release them only if Maid Marion spent the night with him. To this she agreed.

The next morning the Sheriff released his prisoners. Robin at once demanded that Marion tell him how she persuaded the Sheriff to let them go free. Marion confessed the truth, and was bewildered when Robin abused her, calling her a slut, and saying that he never wanted to see her again.

At this Little John defended her, inviting her to leave Sherwood with him and promising life-long devotion. She accepted and they rode away together.


Now in terms of realistic every-day standards of behaviour, put Robin, Marion, Little John and the Sheriff in the order in which you consider they showed the most morality and honesty.

There is no "right" answer. Once a few of you have given your opinions, I'll then set loose a "psychological assessment" for each of the 24 arrangements. But no worries -- we're not going to judge anyone here! But you may be surprised at the variety of answers :shock:

Robin Hood
The Sheriff
Maid Marion
Little John


Why-----

Robin Hood - Wouldn't you be mad too if your mate slept with someone else? It was a perfectly normal reaction IMO.

The Sheriff - It may not have been right for him to ask what he did, but he kept his end of the bargain

Maid Marion - What she did was wrong, but it was for good cause (in a way)

Little John - He knew Robin Hood loved Maid Marion, yet he stole her from him? Friends do not steal friends mates... that just isn't right.

this sort of thing could start a nice discussion. I feel like we should all

our answers. :P

I get the feeling that might just happen after dr nick provides the assessment information. I'm looking forward to seeing it myself.

OK, wow, lots of good answers so far! I'm going to wait a little longer until I can post the "assessments" on a second page...are any of you suprised so far about the choices made by others!? Each character has already been voted both best and worst...

You should upload it as a .txt file to your server and link to it so people can only see the assessment when they are ready. Either way, waiting until the second page will work too.

And I am not surprised, I actually had a tough time ordering them because I felt all of them were immoral and dishonest, so after pushing that aside I had to find which one was the least immoral and dishonest, which wasn't an easy task.
