Stole this from another forum......thought it was interesting:
This is an interesting little quiz that will reveal how you rank values in life.....what is important to you, from the most important.......to the least important.
I will tell you a story, and you are to rank the order in which you like the people involved, from most liked to least liked. If you will, give a reason why you do, or do not, like the person. This is optional, but I think if you don't, you'll regret it later on.

Island #1...........................................Islan d #2
Inhabitants:...................................... .Inhabitants
A....B.....C ...................................... D...and...E
The Story
There was a shipwreck in the sea. There were five passengers on board.
The passengers are : A, B, C, D, and E.
C is a woman.
The large 0's above represent small Islands. They are within sight of one another.
When the ship crashed, passengers A, B, and C swam to the first Island.
Passengers D and E, swam to the second Island.
C is in love with D. She was separated from him during the shipwreck. She wants to be with him.
She goes to A, and asks him to build a raft for her, so she can cross the water to be with D.
A responded: "No, I will not build you a raft. I have salvaged some radio equipment that washed up, and I am very busy trying to repair it. I don't have time to build a raft for you".
She then goes to B and asks him to build a raft for her. He states he will build a raft for her, provided she permits him, shall we say, to have his way with her. She agrees.
Late that night B and C, go down to the beach, and follow- through with the agreement. They seal the deal, so to speak.
Across the water, that same night, shipwrecked passenger D was having trouble sleeping. He had gotten up from his camp during the night, to go for a walk on the beach.
It Just So Happened that the moon was very full and bright that night. He saw C on the beach with B. He saw what they did.
_____________
The next morning, as promised, B built a raft for C.
She took the raft, and paddled over to Island number two.
She hurriedly ran to find her lover --D.
When she found his camp, he said to her:
"I saw what you did on the beach last night! You are despicable! I want nothing more to do with you. Get out of my sight!"
She left and went further down the beach where she found shipwrecked memberE. She told him what had happened, and he took her in, providing shelter and food for her.
Now, from most-liked to least-liked, in what order do you rank these people?
And if you will, please give a reason for your choices.
(You might want to give this a little thought.)

Answer Key
A: represents Intelligence.
He set emotions aside, and went straight to work with problem-solving.
B: represents Power
He had ability, he took control, and he made things happen.
C : represents Sex
If you have to ask, you're too young to know.
D: represents Morality
He held himself and her up to certain standards, and he did not tolerate being outside those standards.
E: represents Love
He gave to her unconditionally.
My answers:
A - Dude is thinking about the bigger picture and the greater good instead of getting mixed up in BS
D - Guy didn't do anything wrong and got screwed over. Even when screwed over he thought with his head and made the right decision.
B - A bit of a scumbag but he did everything as promised, didn't lie, didn't force the girl to do anything, and in the end got what he wanted.
E - Nice guy but he is too nice, no backbone, should have let C learn a lesson instead of coming to the rescue like a sucker, is pretty much letting C take advantage of him, a person with no character
C - She uses sex to get what she wants, brings zero value to the group, zero morals or intelligent thought, will be absolutely useless in getting off the island
