The psychopath test.

If you pass this test, you may need to see a doctor.

To find out, please read the question below, and try to come up with the right answer.

This is NOT a trick question.

The question is exactly what it is; there are no games. No one I know so far has got it right . . .

A woman went to the funeral of her own mother. There, she met a guy whom she did not know. She thought the man was amazing. Really amazing. She fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him again. A week later she killed her sister.

Question:

What is her motive for killing her sister?

Give this some thought before you look at the answer.

Answer (highlight text below to read):

She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again.

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. Several arrested serial killers were given test and answered the question correctly.

If you didn’t answer the question correctly, good for you. If you did, admit it, and look for a good doctor.

"This was a test by a famous American psychologist[...]"

So famous in fact, his or her name is not even mentioned!

[anonymous coward]

This link here claims that this psychopath test was a hoax email that was floating on the internet back in 2002.

Nevertheless, it is amusing to see the reaction of the persons passing the test once you tell them they think like a psychopath. Very interesting social experiment :-)

p.s.: the second comment is from another anonymous coward.

i thought it was just logical. not a very good test, anyone with a few braincells could conclude that.

[Larry Logical]

Jess if you followed a truth table the first logical answer would be that the sister killed the mother

goddamn internet email forwards...

stop posting this CRAP

This is one test I gladly failed. (I do think it's bogus though.)

I thaught she had a twin sister and didn't want him to confuse them.
I really must be nuts

[Does this make me super crazy?]

My guess was that it was her estranged father. They had sex, she got pregnant, and she had to abort her child because it was her own sister. Do I need help or is this funny to anybody else?

@JJ and Pro-Think
i laughed hard!!
youre not insane, you are good guys! ;)

[Acedi4]

I thought it was because the man was her sister's husband. Seems like that would have been the most thought of answer... I suppose not.

[Paul]

I thought it was because her sister was a transvestite - i.e. she was the man at the funeral, in drag, fooling her sister.

[Gepetto]

I passed the test and I like to torture puppies - not. It's an obvious answer, really, and I'm completely sane (except for my obsession with eating spicy food).

That's just smart

I wonder who will be at your funeral

[Loz]

I thought it was because she just felt like it.

i love gay porn

[steben]

a former VP of one of the biggest pharmcos out there wants you to see a doctor...big surprise.

This is pure logic, everyone can pass this (so did i), the answer could only lie in the text, because everything else could be, well everything. Take the strongest feeling, in this case to be in love, paired with apathy for her family ( the phychobitch fell in love , nobody fell in love when a beloved person is gone. and of course she killed her sister)
combine it with the title of the test and you got the only possible answer.

Btw, there is nothing like a killer mentality, everyone of us is a killer, observe your girlfriend get raped in front of you, and i stand near by you handing you a knife and watching your "killer mentality".

[princ3]

Oh yeah, and btw, i supose every psychologist could answer this question too, does that mean that every psychologist is a psycho ? Of course not, its only by chance they have the highest suicide rate :)

You can only help really sick people if you understand them, so if you want to help a killer, you have to be mentally disturbed, that is my opinion about psychologists.

[Rominoco]

i reckoned she thought she might divine the identity of the man from the entrails of her dead sister. what does that make me?

[sousa]

This is test is better doing it without saying is a test, if you now that they are testing if you are a physco, is not real.

Cool! I got it wrong. I must be mentally stable after all.

My answer was: The sister was evil and was sending out psychic brainwaves to keep me from finding the ideal man. I tried talking to her about it, to tell her to turn off the brainwaves, but she wouldn't. So I had to kill her.

Again, thank you for assuring me that I am totally sane.
