Are you a psychopath? Answer this question...
Read this question, come up with an answer, and then scroll down to the bottom for the result.

This is not a trick question. It is as it reads.

A woman, while at her mother's funeral met a man whom she did not know. She thought he was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be just that! She fell in love with him right there, but never got any information about him.

Two weeks later, she murdered her sister.

Question:
Why did she kill her sister?
(give this some thought before you answer, then scroll down)





keep going . . .







Answer:
She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral.

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer.

Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly. If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you.

If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you off my email list, unless that will tick you off, then I'll just be extra nice to you. Have a nice day, or not, whichever you prefer . . . don't hurt me.


(Got this from my sister.)

Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 03:45 PM by DeposeTheBoyKing
But I'm certain Bush would answer it correctly!

3. I'll have to go along with you on that, but I see Bush as more of
a sociopath, with a narcissistic personality. In any case, he is a damaged man. And he's nominally running the country.

6. I don't think that Bush is a sociopath, because he is not very good...
at mimicing "normal" responses. Definitely a narcissistic personality, though.

7. You may be right, but he has no conscience, he tortured animals
as a child, and he is never wrong (in his own mind). Aren't those signs of a sociopath? Along with a domineering mother and an absent father?

9. he's a sociopath
no depth on anything anywhere, LIAR, the smirking, torturing animals, in trouble with the law, no sense of responsibility, cares only how thinks look versus how things are, drinking, drugs, concern with what he can get away with, no concept of right and wrong, etc. He's a fuckin'sociopath.

16. There was an author on Al Franken, yesterday,
who has written two books about Bush*. I believe his name is Mark Crispin Miller. The first one chronicled Bushisms, but it was not just a list, as were the others, but he analyzed how and why he misspeaks. He seems to get into trouble when trying to project compassion or empathy or altruism, like "I know it is hard to put food on your family." He is just incapable of it. He cannot pronounce Abu Gahraib. It is something that he just cannot speak about. But, this guy said, he becomes practically poetic when speaking of revenge or punishment. This author's second book is called "Cruel and Unusual," a warning to the American people about the nature of the current Bush*-Cheney administration, who started out stealing the election, and everything has just gone downhill from there.:-(

27. I sent this article to a friend of mine
Who is constantly saying that Bush* must certainly be deranged. It's written by a qualified psychiatrist who cites chapter and verse of exactly what's mentally wrong with the man.:crazy:

4. myth?
I had heard this before many years ago. I think it is a myth that shrinks use this. Better to use something like they try stealing something out of the shrink's office on the way out when the shrink isn't looking, after promising the shrink they're not stealing anymore.

13. I would imagine it makes you sane...
since you can conceive of people doing atrocious things for material gain (doesn't mean that you would, though :)

11. So, I'm thinking the sister had a sex-change op,
and was the mystery man, and when the smitten sister found out she had committed incest, she flew into a rage and murdered her/sister-husband.

Guess who watched too many soap operas growing up.

14. Phew, I guess I don't think like a psychopath!
I figured that she must have been severely unbalanced to begin with if she: 1) fell in love with a man at her mother's funeral and 2) didn't get any information about the man she fell in love with, the man she considered her "dream man".

I figured that murdering her sister wasn't out of the realm of possibility, as her behavior was so irrational and erratic to begin with. :shrug:

17. LOL! According to this test I am not a psychopath, but I find the whole
thing hilarious. So, what does THAT mean?

Don't vote for Bush! He's an alien lizard!

25. Bush's response would be either:
Edited on Sun Sep-12-04 12:42 PM by LeftishBrit
(1) She found out from the bloke that her sister had some shares in oil that she wanted, and therefore she put it about that the sister had weapons of mass destruction. That would make the killing PERFECTLY JUSTIFIABLE!

or:

(2) Her mother had been murdered, and she had announced that she was going to punish the culprit. Then she found out that the man she was in love with was the one who dunnit. She didn't want to go after him, so she killed her sister instead. After all, it doesn't really matter whether you punish the right person, just so long as you make yourself look tough.

26. urban legend. It's not THAT easy to diagnose a psychopath.
It's many years of training and long hours of interviews.

The above is just thinking outside the box.
