BTW: Apologies for the late reply, I am still a newbie in the "Expat Women Forum" so I didn't realize I would get so many replys in just a week’s time - sorry to have kept you ladies waiting (must've been nerve wracking, because you actually can't find the key online)! If any of you found this activity interesting or worthwhile, [b'>note that I will be posting similar things every month! Feedback for each is appreciated [/b'>:)! May I ask why...? Are you doing research or something? Oh don't worry Cheeky Monkey! I'm a just a RETIRED psychologist - currently a happy housewife/mom in my DB's castle :) Personally I think these types of activities are empowering...and above all else, FUN! Mind you, I won't be posting any more psychological activities - they take too much time to write up... anyone here for word games?

All-right Ladies :) ... I've seen all the responses so far (which I must say are rather interesting and they tend to make one question her own!), and though there is NO actual RIGHT ANSWER, the personality key is as follows: [u'>People who labeled the MADMAN as least responsible: [/u'> You want to be open, honest, direct and straightforward. More importantly, you want to be independent, make your own decisions and direct your own course. You see yourself as assertive, decisive and resourceful. You would like others to see you as strong, fair-minded and magnanimous. Your idealized image is that you are protective and powerful. [b'>Virtue[/b'> Your greatest strength is your sense of justice and desire to protect the weak, vulnerable, down-trodden and under-represented. Big hearted and generous by nature, you willingly protect others even at your own expense. A person of your word, you stand up for what you believe in and deliver what have you promised. You have the ability to quickly assess a situation, cut to the chase and ‘call a spade a spade’, simplifying what initially appears to be complex and confusing. This ability to instinctively see the truth in any given situation and act decisively makes you a natural born leader. [b'>Vice[/b'> Your vice is excess and going to extremes. Whatever you like, you want more of and whatever you do, you overdo at full speed. Quick to respond, you can over react and come on too strong. You can be too much, too intense, and unwilling to self-limit. This can lead to escalating conflict due to an over reliance on your own truth and self-defined justice. Under stress you can become myopic, believing your truth as ‘The Truth’. Seeing life as a battlefield or a contest of wills, you can become confrontational and have difficulty backing down or admitting defeat. You have a tendency to push things to the edge and sometimes may run over others in the process. now this i agree with! i am all for the personality tests.. if others are not welcome to it..u could send me the test at my gmail account.. stmp78 at gmail

All-right Ladies :) ... I've seen all the responses so far (which I must say are rather interesting and they tend to make one question her own!), and though there is NO actual RIGHT ANSWER, the personality key is as follows: [u'>People who labeled the BARON as least responsible: [/u'> You want to be safe and secure, to fit in and belong. More importantly, you want to have certainty and security, putting your faith in a trusted authority, belief system or tradition. You see yourself as faithful, friendly, conservative and/or cautious. You would like others to see you as loyal, dedicated and reliable. Your idealized image is that you are supportive and do your duty. [b'>Virtue:[/b'> Your greatest strengths are your abilities to test for the truth and to recognize and challenge a bad authority. Loyal and dedicated, you understand the value of making sacrifices for the group and are willing to enforce society's rules to ensure safety and security for all. You believe that if everyone followed the rules and cooperated with one another, the world would be a safer place. A hero at heart, you are capable of great acts of loyalty and courage. [b'>Vice:[/b'> Your vice is fear. This manifests as excessive doubt and playing the devil’s advocate. Your drive for security can cause you to envision a dangerous and divisive world in which you feel persecuted and then may persecute those who deviate from the rules or the norm. When you are afraid, you doubt your own authority and can become provocative and undermining. Seeking security, you try to control others by ensnaring them in your fears and doubts. A lack of faith in your own authority can cause you to overly submit to or challenge others, the rules or authority figures. [u'>People who labeled the BARONESS as lest responsible:[/u'> You want to be appealing, giving, caring and heartfelt. More importantly, you want to be needed, considered important and appreciated for your efforts. You see yourself as approachable, nurturing and thoughtful. You would like others to see you as empathetic, supportive and altruistic. Your idealized image is that you are a loving and helpful person (this reflects in your answer). [b'>Virtue[/b'> Demonstrative and friendly, you are exceptionally gifted at creating and maintaining relationships. Emotionally astute, you have a way of creating rapport with even the most difficult people. Softhearted and sympathetic, you are sensitive to others and always seem to notice when someone feels sad or is in distress. You intuitively know what is needed in any given situation and always seem to know just the right thing to say and do. Your ability to sense and satisfy other’s emotional needs is second to none. You also have the ability to match others and work well in tandem with them. [b'>Vice[/b'> Your vice is pride, believing that you are the one who sees and can give people what they need and want. Though you might not realize it, you may give to people with strings attached. When you offer unsolicited advice or give compulsively, others may perceive you as bossy, overly demonstrative or manipulative. In an effort to have your needs met, you may promise more than you can deliver or deliver more than you promise. Unconsciously, you may feel needy and want to be taken care of by others. You can become emotional, sullen or overly dramatic, suffering from psychosomatic illnesses. [u'>People who labeled the BOATMAN as lest responsible:[/u'> You want to be intelligent, informed, knowledgeable and perceptive. More importantly, you want to be self-sufficient and not have the entanglements of obligation. You see yourself as intellectual, dispassionate and investigative. You would like others to see you as rational, logical and scholarly. Your idealized image is that you are thoughtful and wise. [b'>Virtue[/b'> Your greatest strengths are your clear objectivity, your instinct and your penetrating insight that is unfettered by emotions. You have an innate ability to gather information and create systems to assess and categorize data in a clear and concise manner. Mentally astute, you are able to observe, study and track even the smallest details, often developing expertise in many areas. Underneath your shyness and reserve, you are a kindhearted and giving person. You are also very loyal to and supportive of those you trust. [b'>Vice[/b'> Your vice is avarice. This can manifest as a greedy hording of yourself, your time, your energy or your things. Be careful of your tendency to observe the world through a peephole. It can keep you isolated and out of touch with human concerns. Be aware of your tendency to withdraw into your ivory tower of ideas. Others may start to see you as arrogant and unfeeling. Being dispassionate and ‘cool as a cucumber’ is good in an emergency but hard on relationships. [u'>People who labeled the LOVER as least responsible:[/u'> SAME AS THE BARONESS [u'>People who labeled the FRIEND as least responsible:[/u'> You want to be agreeable, peaceful, natural and comfortable. More importantly, you want to be calm and, if at all possible, to avoid conflict. You see yourself as accepting, unassuming and laid-back. You would like others to see you as humble, easygoing and approachable. Your idealized image is that you are content and harmonious. [b'>Virtue[/b'> Your virtues are your acceptance, peacefulness and ability to see universal truths. Open and receptive, you easily relate to others. When you are at your best, you can be both personally and universally connected. Whether you prefer simple pleasures or intellectual pursuits, you are always seeking what is harmonious. You often show your love by working hard, and you can make great contributions to others. Down to earth, steady, patient and easygoing, you bring a sense of calm to any given situation. Steadfast and persistent, you are able to endure even the most tedious and difficult circumstances. [b'>Vice[/b'> Your vices are indolence, inaction or sloth. This can lead to self-forgetting and neglecting your needs and/or the needs of others. Your inattention and forgetfulness can manifest as “crimes of omission”. You may also be stubborn or turn a blind eye to someone in need. Everyone thinks that you are on his or her side and can interpret your understanding as agreement. Overly avoiding conflict, you are most likely to hurt the people around you by not keeping promises due to your lack of follow through. This can make for a passive-aggressive stance in life where you don't see the impact of your inaction and can appear callous or indifferent. [u'>People who labeled the MADMAN as least responsible: [/u'> You want to be open, honest, direct and straightforward. More importantly, you want to be independent, make your own decisions and direct your own course. You see yourself as assertive, decisive and resourceful. You would like others to see you as strong, fair-minded and magnanimous. Your idealized image is that you are protective and powerful. [b'>Virtue[/b'> Your greatest strength is your sense of justice and desire to protect the weak, vulnerable, down-trodden and under-represented. Big hearted and generous by nature, you willingly protect others even at your own expense. A person of your word, you stand up for what you believe in and deliver what have you promised. You have the ability to quickly assess a situation, cut to the chase and ‘call a spade a spade’, simplifying what initially appears to be complex and confusing. This ability to instinctively see the truth in any given situation and act decisively makes you a natural born leader. [b'>Vice[/b'> Your vice is excess and going to extremes. Whatever you like, you want more of and whatever you do, you overdo at full speed. Quick to respond, you can over react and come on too strong. You can be too much, too intense, and unwilling to self-limit. This can lead to escalating conflict due to an over reliance on your own truth and self-defined justice. Under stress you can become myopic, believing your truth as ‘The Truth’. Seeing life as a battlefield or a contest of wills, you can become confrontational and have difficulty backing down or admitting defeat. You have a tendency to push things to the edge and sometimes may run over others in the process. PS: I know that some of you may not agree with the key, but don't stress, consider yourself lucky because you are unique, (at least according to psychiatry)! In truth we all posses most of these qualities, it is just that some people have more of one than the other - and this is what makes our personalities unique! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THIS!!! edited by Synthia_Norton on 24/11/2011 <em>edited by Synthia_Norton on 24/11/2011</em>

OP please reveal the Key.. you can google it....though when i did it i was actually a tad disappointed that it isn't a serious psychology test, just a gimmicky personality mumbo jumbo (as per the thread title) and there is actually no "correct" answer to the question :D

Errmm, this is getting annoying. As the OP isn't giving the key, I thought I would share it with you guys. Enjoy! "Here's the key to this. Lover = *** Wife = fun (fun could also mean contentment) Assassin = money Boatman = magic (magic could also mean luck) Husband = love Each of the characters is a symbol for one aspect in your life, it reveals what's most important to you in your life. Therefore, if you thought that the lover was most responsible, then *** is the most important thing in your life. If you thought that the wife was second most responsible, then fun is the second most important thing in your life and so on." :/: :/: dont agree with this key..what a disappointment!!

So for me it is love, fun, social life and money (pretty amazing how true this is), and since I wrote that the others (including the lover) are just accessories to the story, I basically put s&x on the same level as my beloved coral red Gucci New Jackie... which is true as well :D

It makes more sense to me that the person you choose as most responsible represents the thing that matters least to you. That is, if you think the boatman is responsible by preferring money over helping, it means you DO NOT care about money, not the opposite. But, if you look at it the other way, you think the boatman was responsible, so in your opinion money is at the root of it all. That could mean that money is important to you, no?

I would have said: 1. Baroness- She is responsible for her actions in all counts, its not like she died from an uncontrollable sickness, she died from her poor choices 2. Madman- is responsible for the actual act of death 3. Lover- was involved in her deceit so should have helped her either with the 5 coins or to give her courage to face the baron 4. Baron- Not responsible really, but more so than the friend and the boatman as he is directly involved with the baroness and maybe made her feel the need to cheat 5. Friend- I don't think the friend is responsible, its like giving junk to a junkie, its not going to help 6. Boatman- has no responsibility to the baroness, so should not have to lose out on 5 silvers due to her bad choices <em>edited by Sizzles on 21/11/2011</em>

Hmmm - I just googled this to find a key and found another very similar (the names have changed to protect the innocent). It is another interesting version though... read it now and see if you change your mind?? A married couple live in a house on one side of a river. The wife has a lover who lives on the other side. The only way to get across the river is to walk across the bridge or to pay the boatman. The husband has to go on an overnight business trip to a faraway town. The wide pleads with him to take her with him. She knows if that he doesn't she will be unfaithful to him. The husband absolutely refuses to take her because she will only be in the way of his important business. So the husband goes alone. That night, the wife goes over the bridge and stays with her lover. Dawn is almost up when the wife leaves because she must be back home before her husband returns. She starts walking across the bridge but sees an assassin waiting for her on the other side. She knows if she tries to cross, he will murder her. In terror, she runs up the side of the river and asks the boatman to take her across the river, but he wants too much money. She doesn't have enough, so he refuses to take her. The wife runs back to the lover's house and explains her predicament and asks him to pay the boatman. The lover refuses, telling her it's her own fault for getting into this situation. As dawn comes up the wife decides to dash across the bridge. She comes face to face with the assassin and he kills her.

See now this is interesting to me. We both agree that she is primarily responsible for her own death, but differ in our reasons. I think she is responsible because [u'>she walked onto the bridge knowing without a shadow of a doubt that doing so would result in her imitate death[/u'>. You think she is responsible for her own death because [u'>she had an affair and disobeyed her husband[/u'>. Perhaps we are interpreting the word "responsibility" differently. I think this is the crux of it, definition of the word 'responsibility' as each person uses their own life experience, belief system to interpret this word, therefore no-one is wrong or right.

oh these greek lovers! What a great fun! Madman - he actually did the deed, no matter what the explanation Baroness - she stepped on this bridge, nobody forced her directly Boatman - he was the first link for help, the fact he "did his job" does not excuse him to NOT to save a life Lover - the first person she went to, should have done anything to find the money Friend Baron - his threthening led to the death BUT was his punishment killing the lady? Probably more like a house arrest :) Agree with this list! Ditto, completely.

Madman - Committed the act and is clearly guilty in the first degree Baroness - she knew the consequences that her actions would have Baron - he's obviously a complete **** and crapy lover The Lover - no comment ( only in it for the ***) The friend - complete ***** and probably having affair with the Baron The Boatman- just doing his job <em>edited by derien on 21/11/2011</em>

The baron did warn her that she would be severely punished and she was.. Perhaps he knew ! 1- baroness for having the affair and not Listening to her husband See now this is interesting to me. We both agree that she is primarily responsible for her own death, but differ in our reasons. I think she is responsible because [u'>she walked onto the bridge knowing without a shadow of a doubt that doing so would result in her imitate death[/u'>. You think she is responsible for her own death because [u'>she had an affair and disobeyed her husband[/u'>. Perhaps we are interpreting the word "responsibility" differently. Correct me if i'm misunderstanding you... I am saying that by stepping onto the bridge she got what she set out to get,and deserved to get... a result that is not at all unexpected... Are you suggesting that because she had an affair/disobeyed the Baron she deserves what she got?

It absolutely blows my mind that so many people can have so many varying opinions. I am equally horrified and intrigued by all the different points of view. I’m most shocked that so many people thought the baroness was not to blame at all… and was in fact an “innocent victim”. My reasoning is as follows: The Baroness knew walking onto that bridge would kill her, and she did it anyway. It’s no different than taking pills or walking off the edge of the bridge. She knew it would kill her and she chose to do it. This is suicide. Perhaps in her mind the suicide was justified, but the fact remains that she made a well informed, conscious choice to walk towards her death. The Madman held the dagger that plunged into her heart and ultimately caused her death, and he was knowingly acting in a reckless manner therefore he is obviously equally to blame. He may have appeared mad and claimed to have been inspired by a higher power but he had enough sense to try and warn her away, which means he was aware his actions would have deadly consequences. He killed her knowingly; Of course he is to blame. Lover-Based on the information given he is in no way responsible for her death. He is a jerk for not helping her come up with some other way of raising the funds though, plus for sleeping with a married woman in the first place. Friend-Based on the information given she is in no way responsible for her death. Boatman- Based on the information given he is in no way responsible for her death. (She didn’t need him to help escape the madman because she wasn’t being chased or even attacked. She just wanted the boatman to help her cover up her lies. And deceit. ) Baron- Based on the information given, he is in no way responsible for her death. I would however recommend that he hire a PR agent/spin doctor asap because people are always going to assume he was at best, an emotionally abusive controlling husband and at worst, a hitman. I’ll leave you with my favourite quote : “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” Think about it.

So! You are all missing the point.... The Madman is the Baron - He knew the baroness was having an affair and wanted to punish her indefinately. The Boatman was the lover in disguise and changed and ran home before she could get there and the friend was the lover of the boatman. The two colluded to do away with the baroness and unknown to them the baron decided to choose that night to do it himself! In the end the boatman and the friend are happy as they have each other and the Baron is happy as he gets her money! I think he may also get the friend!!! :\::\::\: way too complicated!!!
