The Mind of a Psychopath
My girlfriend gives me a call and tells me she mailed me a quiz. Then she tells me that depending on how I answered she might break up with me. After taking the quiz I understand why...
"Read this question, come up with an answer, and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. All the information you need is provided in the four sentences below.
Here Goes: A woman, while at the funeral of her mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought the guy was amazing, her dream man! She fell in love with him instantly, but never asked for his phone number and could not find him after the funeral. A few days later she killed her sister.
Question: What is her motive in killing her sister? (Give this some thought before you answer) then scroll down for the answer.
She was hoping that 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 someone 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 - you're normal. If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you off of my email list, unless that will tick you off, then I'll just be extra nice to you from now on."
So that is really sick, but oddly I can understand how that might work. This is an e-mail so I have no idea about any famous psychiatrist making up questions for serial killers, but this kind of a joke is a little too twisted for anyone just to make up on the net and send it off. Also thinking back to my girlfriend's comment on my answer and our relationship, wouldn't it be dangerous to break up with a psycho?... I mean, I didn't get the answer either, heh heh...
