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 said 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 an analysis based on which of the 24 possible arrangements you chose.
Analysis
Who did you list first? Robin, Marion, Sheriff, or Little John?
Little John, Maid Marion, Robin Hood, The Sheriff
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
Little John, Maid Marion, The Sheriff, Robin Hood
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.
This combination represents 10% of total, 9% of men and 10% of women
Little John, Robin Hood, Maid Marion, The Sheriff
You are a cautious type, neutral, and rather insecure. You would agree with the idea that everybody has his price - and in your own case it would not be high.
Men: You are sexually inhibited with an underlying distrust of women.
Women: At least one man has made you unhappy, and you are now on your guard.
This combination represents 6% of total, 6% of men and 5% of women
Little John, Robin Hood, The Sheriff, Maid Marion
You are not easy to assess. Basically you are ruled by an inferiority complex and feelings of insecurity. How do you present yourself to the world? An idealist, a moralist, a conformist keeping up with the Joneses?
Men: Your conflicting views on sex and morality may lead to every sort of sexual problem. You have always feared women, probably starting with your mother.
Women: It is a shame you have not accepted the ideal of woman as the equal (and sometimes stronger) partner of man.
This combination represents 2% of total, 2% of men and 2% of women
Little John, The Sheriff, Maid Marion, Robin Hood
You too, believe that morality is another word for commonsense and suitability, and not something which is universally valid or a religious truth. Your feeling for security is strong, and you would rate reliability as one of your virtues.
Men: Your estimate of women as the inferior sex suggests that you are a little uncertain of them.
Women: You are more permissive about the morals of others than you are about your own.
This combination represents 3% of total, 2% of men and 3% of women
Little John, The Sheriff, Robin Hood, Maid Marion
You are conventional, unimaginative, and something of a prude. It would be surprising if your love life was a roaring success.
Men: You have an old-world authoritarian attitude. One thing is sure: you have some sorry illusions about women.
Women: You accept a double standard of morality in which women are very much the "second sex."
This combination represents 1% of total, 1% of men and 1% of women
Maid Marion, Little John, Robin Hood, The Sheriff
We would expect you to be a happy, well-balanced person who likes people and is liked by others. You question whether many conventional views on morality are valid under all circumstances.
Men: Do we detect a sense of chivalry and idealism under the sophistication?
Women: You will expect high standards from the men to whom you give your love.
This combination represents 13% of total, 13% of men and 12% of women
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
Maid Marion, Robin Hood, Little John, The Sheriff
If you are not happy - and we suspect you are not - it maybe because you feel guilty about your own emotions, and lack confidence in your opinions.
Men: No doubt you consider yourself a moral man, and a fair one. Your fuzzy ideas about morality may make their mark on your sex life.
Women: You are too concerned about what others think.
This combination represents 4% of total, 4% of men and 4% of women
Maid Marion, Robin Hood, The Sheriff, Little John
You know the so-called facts of life, but not to enjoy life itself. You are not a realist and you are inclined to be stubborn.
Men: Women, you think, are either good or bad, and you overestimate the differences between the sexes. A woman may find you difficult to live with.
Women: You are not sure whether truth and morality go hand in hand or are in opposition. You don't hold a very high opinion of men.
This combination represents 1% of total, 2% of men and 1% of women
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
Maid Marion, The Sheriff, Robin Hood, Little John
You associate morality with honesty and truth more than with religious values. You are impulsive and somewhat unpredictable.
Men: We suspect that you are a would-be lover rather than a very successful one.
Women: You are a realist and a rebel, a defender of women's rights. You like men but despise weak ones.
