Sherwood Forest Personality Test

To take the personality test, give your honest opinion about the morals of the four characters in our story of Sherwood Forest. Forget any preconceived ideas you may about them - this is a different kind of story from all of the others. Here is the story:

"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 behavior, put Robin, Marion, Little John and the Sheriff in the order in which you consider they showed the most morality and honesty *in this story*. There is no "right" answer. After you choose, you will see the psychologist's estimate of you for each of the 24 arrangements. Choose carefully. This is the only question, and your exact choice determines the accuracy of the test. The question will appear twice. Just choose the same answer both times.
