Take a test that has nothing to do with intellect

Imagine there are two islands on one island is A B and C ,on the other is D and E
A is in love with D and B & C have the only boats on island #1
D&E are on island #2
A asks B if he will take her to D, but B says he does not want to get involved .
A asks C if he would take her to D and C says he would if she would be unfaithful to D for one night
A had no other hope of getting to D so she agreed to have sex once to get to D
C keeps his promise and takes her to D
A tells D what she had to do to get to him . and D said he could not marry her if she was that king of a woman , E said he loved her no matter what she did and A agreed to marry E even though she was still in love with D I asked the people who listened to this made up story to arrange ABCD &E from the character they like the most to the one they liked the least

E...he would be the most likable because his mind is more open than the others. Also, A was not a part of E's life when she slept with C so it wouldn't have affected him in any way.

D...could that stand for dork? I think his attitude was too dismissive. Could he not see that A was making such a huge sacrifice because of he love for him.

C...For not being prepared to do a favour without seeking a favour in return.

B...if only he hadn't been such a meany things could have been different.

A...I've put her at the bottom if the list because I think she was foolish enough to tell :)

Hope I passed the test Mike haha

I am going to withhold giving out what priority each character stood for in case there are more who want to take this , but your choses reflect you as person with values close to my own lol

I think it was about twenty years ago (give or take three years) when we made our annual trip to visit relatives in Kentucky. It was the time my cousin gave us a test from memory . I don't know who or what group made the test but if my memory serves me it was a group of psychology students

Sounds like a psychology test to me....you know the ones where there are no correct answers but beware of the man in the white coat with the straight jacket who's trying (unsuccessfully) to blend into the crowd just in case haha!!!

Interesting topic Mike...hope you get more responses to it.

I thought Jane would have been really into this...

B - straightforward, though could have had help A to get to D but at least he let her know he did not want to get involved.

D - if her love for him causes her to do things that she does not want, then her love for him will harm her more than do her good. It's best to not marry. ( who knows what his reasons may have been)

C -

E - I feel he will not let her know when there's a problem. I feel he will only comply to what she does. Will not help her to grow as an individual.

A - could have figured out other way to get to D. There's always another way.

Michael, I did not look back to my prior answer or your explanation, although I remember a vague bit of it.

E caused the least harm and the greatest good.

A may be seen as making poor choices but they harmed her more than anyone else and she accepted the best situation available

B could have prevented harm but chose not to be involved; however, there's no indication he knew of C's terms, so he cannot be held complicit

D had the choice to forgive and create the greatest good but he rejected it. Otherwise he did no harm.

C caused harm actively even though he offset it by providing transport. He used A for personal gratification with no redeeming motive

E - though not much is told about E's influence or if he had a solid friendship with D, he seems genuine and like he has a good heart. His love for A does not seem manipulative, as he did not steal A away from D since D already made the decision not to marry A. He also did not judge A wholly on her past or her decisions but loved her for her.

D - it's hard to judge his character and not much light is shed on his personality, but he didn't seem to be vindictive of what A did, just heartbroken. A was honest and in return, D knew in his heart, maybe he would not be able to trust her in the future. He could have been doubtful about their relationship before.

B - chose not to help, whether to keep himself safe or because he did not want to be involved in future drama. Maybe he preferred to be alone and not interact with others. Maybe he was acting out of selfishness and wanted to keep the boat free for himself in case anything happened. Maybe he wanted to be in control. His motives are unclear but he still had every right to make his own decision and at least he was honest.

A - was faced with a heavy situation, but still had choices to remain faithful to D. Who knows how long they would have been on the island or if D or E had any boats and were planning a trip. A was desperate and acted out of that desperation, and though A may claim the sex meant nothing, A still compromised D's trust. I believe though A was ultimately conflicted, she led E on and will continue to do so in their marriage when her heart knows she is still in love with D. E needs to know that otherwise he may think she has moved on and that they are in one union of love.

C - tempted A, was envious and tried to manipulate to get what he wanted instead of respecting A, and A's love for D.

E for being able to accept whatever the baggage that came with accepting A. That is always a good characteristic to have.

A for being able to sacrifice anything she could to get to D. Shows just how much she loved him.

B for not wanting to get involved with the whole situation...didn't really gain him points, so he is neutral right now.

D because he is a jerk for not being able to see that A did everything she could to get to him. What a wimp; the sexual encounter didn't even mean anything to her. She just wanted to get to D.

C for being the uttermost jack-butt on the planet. Couldn't have just been a nice guy and taken her over there, he had to have sex for payment. What a wonderful guy.

Everyone who has taken this test (for entertainment purposes ) has also received test results as I did years ago

D - Wouldn't marry someone who compromised their values.. adultery is a big no no 'round here.

B/E tie here. E = unconditional love.. B - Smart for not getting involved in others business. Maybe he knew D did not want A. Or maybe he's just a butthead. Either way, it sounds like staying out of the business of others is generally smart lol.

A/C - Toss up for me here. They both kinda suck.

WHOA. Seeing the comment/poem now and aligning with how I listed it... makes TOTAL sense for me.

I have strange priorities and admitted that C ranked above B&D . It took me a while to see that no matter what your priorities are there is always a way to redeem them

The mods no I have been as power hungry as C in my history here Lol

If you want to keep your favorites to yourself you can go to my poem Priorities list in my featured poems and read comment 3

B- Didn't get involved. By far the wisest letter around.
D- It doesn't say that D loved A, just that A loved D. It also doesn't say that D rejected A specifically for cheating on him with C. So, I'm assuming D just wasn't in love with A in the first place.
E- So this guy, who A hasn't mentioned at all, happens to be silently in love with her all along. And then when she shows up and gets dumped, he swoops right in? Creepy.
C- What a jerk.
A- Okay, look. If you're in love with someone and they say no, you don't up and find any old person to marry you unless you're really desperate. A should have taken the rejection, packed her bags, and booked the first flight off the island. Or hell, kick everybody off the second island and set up shop by herself.

Edit:
Checked the answer key. Michael, I think I took religion right out of it with my interpretation. I value D, but not for any religious association. I like that they seem to be more free thinking than anyone else, and not afraid to say what they want.

Memory is a funny think and you just jogged . In my mind I can hear my cousin who told the story over twenty years go add if you are that kind of woman , so I have made my first edit before I figure out how to give this the best shot at going viral on facebook

said he could not marry her *edit* if she was that kind of a woman

thank you all who have commented thus far :)
