You're the one who says 'my treat!' at every get-together. Like Robin Hood, you love loud laughter with friends, but the moment you see someone treated unfairly, the joking stops and you step in. There's always a crew that trusts you and follows your lead.
Things a Robin Hood type often says
- It's on me today!
- That's just not fair.
- Let's all go. Nobody gets left out.
In a group, I'm
Class leader and loyalty captain
As a friend, I'm
The first friend to run over when you need someone on your side
When stressed
Unfairness keeps you up at night. A good laugh with friends and you're back.
Sound familiar, Robin Hood type?
- In any group you end up at the centre
- You can't walk past a friend who's been wronged
- You're always the one who fixes the date and place
- Rather than big words, you do what helps right now
Where you shine
- Action before words
When something is unfair, you're the first to move and say 'that's not right'. In meetings that drag on, you're the one who gets things rolling.
- Draws people in
People gather wherever you are. You throw an arm around strangers in no time and turn people who didn't know each other into one team.
- Jokes even in a crisis
When things go wrong and everyone freezes, one joke from you lets them breathe again. That laughter gives everyone their strength back.
Watch out for
Caring so much for your friends, you may brush past the other side's situation or people who follow the rules.
Try thisBefore choosing sides, ask 'how does this look from the other side?' Real fairness comes after hearing both.
If it feels right, you jump in, and sometimes spend ages cleaning up afterwards.
Try thisWhen it's urgent, take thirty seconds to ask one friend, 'here's my plan, what do you think?'
A famous scene
Robin enters the Nottingham archery contest in disguise and splits the center of the target.
A line from the book
Open this book →he taketh only from the rich and the strong and the dishonest man, while there is not a poor widow nor a peasant with many children, nigh to Sherwood, but has barley flour enough all the year long through him.
Hamlet is your opposite on all four traits. Strange at first, but you have the most to learn from each other.
