Robin Hood morality quiz
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.

This combination represents 2% of total, 1% of men and 2% of women



Robin Hood, Little John, Maid Marion, The Sheriff
You are a moralist with conventional ideas, which some people would call old-fashioned.

Men: You probably consider yourself a fair-minded man in a world which falls badly below your standards. Your inhibitions and sense of guilt are in the way of your happiness.

Women: Unlucky in love? Perhaps you hope for too much in a man. Be a realist, not a romantic.

This combination represents 5% of total, 5% of men and 5% of women



Robin Hood, Little John, The Sheriff, Maid Marion
You are conventional and puritanical.

Men: You moralize and see women as a great conspiracy against man, with sex as their principal weapon. You are missing a great deal in life.

Women: Your parents probably played a big part in the formation of such a guilt complex as yours. Your mind is in chains and it's time you did something to free it.

This combination represents 2% of total, 2% of men and 3% of women



Robin Hood, Maid Marion, Little John, The Sheriff
Your philosophy of life is a sad hotchpotch of the conventions of society, your own convictions and romanticism. You are not unkind, only staid and unimaginative.

Men: You see women as weak but desirable.

Women: You resent the arrogance of men.

This combination represents 4% of total, 4% of men and 3% of women


Robin Hood, Maid Marion, The Sheriff, Little John
You find it hard to accept the permissive attitudes of others, or to convince them of the validity of your own standards. You are not disposed to trust people.

Men: To you "love" involves sex and duty, rather than charity and forgiveness.

Women: You blame men for the problems in your life.

This combination represents 2% of total, 2% of men and 1% of women



Robin Hood, The Sheriff, Little John, Maid Marion
You have a very chauvinistic and outdated outlook on life. Your values and principles are defined not by clarity of conscience but by popular beliefs.

Men: You see women as objects and possessions. You demand complete loyalty and devotion without offering it in return.

Women: You see yourself as having only one purpose in life - to satisfy your man. You lack self definition as you derive all of who you are from him.

This combination represents 3% of total, 3% of men and 3% of women



Robin Hood, The Sheriff, Maid Marion, Little John
Men: 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



The Sheriff, Little John, Maid Marion, Robin Hood
You have a confused, immature sense of values. You are erratic and stubborn, and inclined to get angry or sulk when you don't get your own way, but at least you are not a moral hypocrite.

Men: "Love 'em and leave 'em" is the motto of a man who is basically afraid of women.

Women: Perhaps you would rather be a man than a woman?

This combination represents 2% of total, 2% of men and 2% of women



The Sheriff, Little John, Robin Hood, Maid Marion
Not a moralizing pattern, but..

Men: You share with many other men the idea that most women are fickle and inferior to men. Perhaps a view that you got from your father, or as a reaction to a domineering mother.

Women: You have a pretty poor opinion of yourself, haven't you?

This combination represents 1% of total, 1% of men and 1% of women



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



The Sheriff, Maid Marion, Robin Hood, Little John
If you are not living a happy life, the cause is within yourself. You are a rebel with a trace of spoilt child about you. You value truth above morality, but you are reasonably tolerant of those who disagree with you.

Men: Any problems you have are not likely to be centered in sex.

Women: Despite your experience and intelligence, you are a bad judge of men.

This combination represents 2% of total, 2% of men and 3% of women



The Sheriff, Robin Hood, Little John, Maid Marion
Although you make a brave show of being self-sufficient, beneath this you are unhappy and rather mixed up.

Men: You don't understand women - probably you are afraid of them. You do not know what love is, and you are more likely to boast about your conquests in a bar than prove them in a bedroom.

Women: If men attract you at all, they probably are the wrong sort.

This combination represents 2% of total, 3% of men and 2% of women



The Sheriff, Robin Hood, Maid Marion, Little John
Men: The warmth and give-and-take of love are not for you. Your sex life is ringed with unreality, and you neither understand nor appreciate women.

Women: If you really believe this is the right order, you baffle us completely.

This combination represents 3% of total, 3% of men and 2% of women

I've apparently got 'phryngitis'
Yes you've read right, 'phryngitis'. A man who's supposedly been to Otago medical school and all that fluff in between can't spell. Sure he's just having a bad day but thats simply inexcusable for him to be venting to a patient!
So picture this: I'm going to the Hillcrest Medical Centre in my daddy's shiny red car, and they tell me they're all full up with appointments with every doctor except Dr Ahmed whom I've never heard of in the entire time I've been to Hillcrest Medical Centre. I didn't picture it to be seedy at all nooo... And then im there sitting on the sterile like patients chair in the clinic and im feeling awful and probably looking it too (considering I'm rather ill its nto surprising) and he is bold enough to ask me all these personal questions like what i want to be when I leave school.
Then fully goes into a rant about how his life sucks and one should never be a Doctor. Ladedah, no opportunity for expansion et cetera, patients filing for litigation and bad treatment et cetera , and i was sitting there thinking:

Can I get my drugs now?

Procrastination and other facts of life

I have an exam tomorrow
Not just any exam
But a Cambridge exam
the exam for those who are elite
and privelleged enough to take it.

Currantly I'm in my mother's study, supposedly studying but failing. Fail is an interesting word, it can rouse anxiety and despair in some, while others revel in using it ---> see www.failblog.org for an example. I'd rather not fail if all possible, it would mean being on the lower half of the bell curve where 50% of the rest of the population lie, which is mediocre. And I'd rather not be associated with mediocrity, I'd rather not that whenever others think of me the word mediocre is the first word to pop up in their heads instead of much more favourable words like pioneer, or belligerent, or girl. I'd rather not be famed as "most likely to be mediocre" in the school yearbook.

Moral of the story? Don't try unless you know you'll succeed?

There's a disturbing amount of dust on this keyboard of my mothers. I'll be sure to tell her that.

The 7th formers in my bio class were talking about graduating which is something which I won't experience for another 2 years... not sure whether that's a good thing or not cause I'd looove to escape right now and be free, but then when I really think about it I'd have to cook and clean for myself, and actually pay for things which is not the most pleasant thing. The thing is, I like living with my parents who do every thing for me which leaves me with more time to procrastinate and write pointless blogs like this one. Ahh, such bliss is teenagehood, the turbulent transition between an idyllic childhood and a harsh but liberal adulthood . We know that the world sucks but we can't do anything about it, we're trapped in a little box of parental expectations and limited social experiences.


BTW everyone's obsessed with the Twilight series! I'll have to add it to my list of books to read along with Gone with the Wind, Pride and Prejudice, The Time Traveller's Wife, and an innumerable amount more, like Kerri's Mum's book about the Children of God which I still haven't read yet. If you're reading this Kerri, I'll return it to you possibly in the next few months or years.


-Procrastination - stress from doing nothing

As I promised, photos!!!!!!

This is probably my best photography yet, it captures the innate characteristics of each of the Bryant Twins, aren't they great. As you can see, Nick on the right was born about a minute before Matthew on the left so you're left with the explanation of the picture

Bethany pays her respects to the ancient Maori traditions of Rotorua and whatnot, before whoring it for chemical experiments

At Hahei beach, or some coromandel equivalent. Lisa and Ron decided to bury themselves in sand. Pity they couldn't stay there ...

V8 supercars!!!!! I sold food in a caravan which is ok except I was paired with the most annoying guy ever who kept trying to flick me. Can't see much from here with all the barriers, well if I wanted to get close I'd have to have paid $130

You can't spell gangstah without Chemistry.... Go Bethany.

Why, mama, you look ridiculous in that stupid hat! And I don't care much for your dumb dress neither, Cecily. -- Cambridge English forever!!!!! Importance of Being Earnest

A particularly significant event in my period of hiatus

Um I got my hair cut. It was pretty epically long beforehand. I kinda annoyed my stylist cause I had so much hair she had to charge me $5 extra . And I didnt help by changing my mind about styles. I started with just some layering which took some effort then I decided naaaaah i wanted it to go on a gradient to the back then came the fringe and at that point she could've torched me alive with a straightening iron she was so frustrated so it wasn't spectacularly great but I had a feeling she would've threatened me with an electric trimmer if I made another comment ...

It was good, but I'll miss my natural curling rapunzel hair *small tear*

Last post in.... July! *blinks*

That makes it.... 4 months ago! Joy! And I haven't been away from the computer or internet so I can rule that excuse out for not posting.

I'm now 17 years of age, not that it really makes a difference to my maturity level. I've still got the yoyo body clock: speaking of which, my amount of relative sleep each night of the week just past varied from 4 hours a night to 13 hours. Surprisingly last night I got a pretty staple 8 hours and I woke up with the most massive headache, like someone had taken a well sharpened rock and brought it down on the top of my head as if they were a clever primate opening a nut.

How many weeks are left till NCEA exams? Not sure. That's how awareness I have of time and other things that generally require a brain. Wait I'll check the calendar beside my bed (wahwahwaaahhhh noise of disappointment) ........................ exactamundo 4 weeks from today! I'm panicking. Really.

Somehow I don't think its really sunk in that an entire year's worth of work comes down to these few weeks and they're the sole opportunity in which you can prove your intelligence to the scrutiny of the world. Not that I had any intelligence anyway.

Dear blog,

I hate my life *slitslit* I wish poor people can be friends with rich people *slitslit* I want there to be less mistreatment of animals *slitslit* People place too much emphasis on appearances nowadays *slitslit* my parents wont let me get a car *SLITSLIT*

AFTERNOTE: by the way i dont actually slit my wrists its just an over dramatisation to attract attention.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What's happened in the last 4 months?? it seems to have flown by so fast, like businessmen on the main street during their lunchbreak. What have I accomplished? The usuals: eating, sleeping, drinking... curing world hunger, discovering a cure for cancer, finding an inexhaustible source of energy...... maybe not the last one: that'll take jobs away from people :P

I was watching Beauty and the Geek last night (which was season 4), and I'll admit to having watched the first season hosted by Ashton Kutcher; but even though this is the most 'deep' subject matter MTV has ever based a reality tv show on its still got the essense of every reality tv, that is, stereotypes and shallow sexist ideals that don't even apply to society!!! It suggests that only males are geeks, and even they can be sought after by pneumatic blondes for their obsessive intelligence and pipe bomb social skills. It's a shock to everyone when, in season 4, they introduce a female 'geek' and a male poser, but she's not even a rocket scientist or anything shes a musicologist . We know secretly all the rocker boys love the girls with thick rimmed glasses , quiet intuitive contemplation, and an IQ to boast about.

- The ones who are most critical of society are usually the ones who can't fit in it
