Morality Test

-----------

How moral are you? What is your attitude toward morals, sex and honesty? The 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 the morals and honesty of the four characters in our story of Sherwood Forest. Forget any preconceived ideas you may have 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 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, and on the next page is the psychologist's estimate of you for each of the 24 arrangements.

So, what did you decide? See the psychologist's view
