There are two neighboring islands. In the first one live two men: an uncivilized savage and a civilized man. On the other island, there are several people, among them a girl who is in love and has a relationship with the civilized man.
The girl wants to go to the opposite island to meet her lover. She asks the only boatman of the island how much he wants to take her there. The boatman says that he does not want money and he will take her to the other island if she is naked in the boat.
The girl is shocked… not knowing what to do she goes to the wise man of the island to ask for help. He listens to her story with attention and gives the following advice: “Do what your heart tells you, my child…” So the girl decides to accept the proposal of the boatman in order to meet her beloved man.
So, they go to the other island. But when they arrive, the savage is on the seafront and gets crazy at the sight of the naked woman so he rapes her… At the same moment, the civilized man comes and sees the scene. He goes mad and tells the girl that he does not want her anymore and she must leave immediately…

Each character of the story represents a priority in your life:
Savage = how important sex is for you;
Civilized man = importance of other people’s opinion;
Girl = your need for an emotional relationship;
Boatman = your need for earning money;
Wise man = how much you rely on logic.

The wise man as a figure of authority (as presented in the story) and someone who holds the key to knowledge proved to be inadequate. As a wise man he should know better.
Anyway, the average person reading a story will probably sympathize with the protagonist (the girl) or will just want to watch how the events unfold gaining a pleasure by reading/watching (probably acting like the boatman). World is full of girls and boatmen.
Using the story for a personality test is just absurd.

2 wise man
3 boatman
4 savage

1 The savage as he is being himself doing what would be expected with a naked woman, 2 The girl for not listening to her own intuition , as she felt she needed advice of someone else , she obviously had doubt , The civilised man for not retrieving her himself , 4 The boatman if he had taken payment other than her naked body none of the above would have come about , 5 The so called wise man answered nothing for the girl
