What is your attitude to morals, sex and honesty?

The fascinating personality test below was written by a Sydney marriage expert who is a qualified psychologist. It began as a dinner party conversation gimmick, but it has been prepared in this form for readers to test themselves. To do the 'test' you must give your honest opinion about morals and honesty of the four characters in our story of Sherwood Forest. Forget any preconceived ideas you may about them--this is a different sort of story from all the others. '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 asked that Marion tell him how she persuaded the Sheriff to let them go free. 'Marion told 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 behavior, put Robin, Marion, Little John and the Sheriff in the order in which you consider they showed the most morality and honesty (from most moral to least moral). There is no 'right' answer. What follows is the psychologist's characterization of you based on which of the 24 possible arrangements you chose.

I chose.... Little John, Maid Marion, Robin Hood, Sherriff 'You are fairly broadminded romantic and reasonably contented. You value kindness greatly and try to live by your ideals. You do not conceal from yourself, or from others, your strong need for security, which may be either emotional or material.' Men: Perhaps you tend to idealize women and credit them with virtues they don't possess. Women: Your experiences of men have not all been happy, perhaps because you hope for a little too much? This combination represents 15% of total, 15% of men and 16% of women

Rosi... Maid Marion, Little John, The Sheriff, Robin Hood You are essentially a contented person, even if you consider yourself a little superior. You are moral by your own standards, for you believe that morality is what best suits the occasion. Men: You are sexually uninhibited, more romantic than you may appear, and more dependent on the approval of others than you care to admit. Women: You like being a woman, you understand what love is, and frankly enjoy sex. This combination represents 10% of total, 9% of men and 11% of women

1) Little John - he accepted what Marion had done and offered her an escape from the place she was shuned and gave her his eternal devotion. 2) Maid Marion - She gave up her honar for the man she loved and was honest about what she had done. 3) The sheriff - although he made an unsavary request of Marion, he did keep his promise. 4) Robin - the foolish get shuned his beloved becase she sacrificed herself to save Robin and John from the dungiuon where they would surely have been toutchered. He should have thanked Marion but told her that he did not what her to do what she did, but also try to forgive her. THIS MAKES ME:- You are the slightly romantic realist. You respect truth, and are broadminded and flexible. Whether you are a man or a woman you are probably a happy person. You like people and they can readily make friends with you. You are not very adventurous, but this does not bother you.

Sheila.... Maid Marion, The Sheriff, Little John, Robin Hood Such an emphatic rejection of ready-made values is probably partly camouflage. You hate to be thought weak or insecure. You value honesty, and abhor hypocrisy. Men: Women are very much part of you life, and you are - or perhaps would like to be - quite ruthless, both with women and life in general. Women: You are tolerant about men and their failings - but we mean men, for you have no time for boys on men's errands. This combination represents 3% of total, 3% of men and 3% of women

Moe ....... Robin Hood, The Sheriff, Maid Marion, Little John Men: We think you are unhappy, although you probably will not admit it. As a ruthless authoritarian you are as moral as it suits you and no more. You do not apply the same rules to men as you do to women. Women: How worthless you seem to think women are. This combination represents 2% of total, 2% of men and 2% of women (Oh Dear LOL)

Lol Lunar...How you doin hun? ~~~Big Waves to Gerry~~~ The Sheriff, Maid Marion, Little John, Robin Hood You claim to be a realist or even a cynic, but you are more emotional, romantic, and truthful. Men: Although you are by no means inhibited, your amorous adventures are as much a matter of fantasy as fact. Women: You have been hurt in the past by men, or one man in particular, and will probably let it happen again. This combination represents 3% of total, 3% of men and 3% of women X
