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. No one I know has got it right.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be her dream guy so much, that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?

I'll not give you the answer yet. If anyone know's the answer cause you've seen the question before dont reply please.

The woman wanted to re-create the conditions in which she met the man: thats a funeral. Funerals require corpses!

The man probably has nothing whatsoever to do with killing her sister. Just a quirky diversion. She is just a physcopath and probably killed her mother too
:eek: :D

Ok, the verdict's out, she wanted to see the guy again, is that the answer? But then why did she kill her sister and not anyone else in her family?

Maybe she just killed her sister anyway?

Question: What is her motive for killing her sister?

[Give this some thought before you answer, see answer below]















Keep scrolling...















Answer:


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.

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.

Origins:This silly canard began its Internet life in May 2002. No, this question was not authored by a "famous American psychologist," nor does it come from "a genuine psychological test." Believe not everything that turns up in e-mail, especially items sorely vague about their bona fides.

Let's talk about why this isn't real. As the Tire Nut legend so eloquently illustrates, just because someone is crazy doesn't mean he's also stupid. Psychopaths (also known as sociopaths) possess the same problem-solving skills that the rest of us do, and some of them have been found to be remarkably brilliant (e.g., Ted Bundy). The assumption that all sociopaths approach problems with a "Whom can I kill to solve this?" mentality (and that sociopaths believe everyone else thinks this way as well) is an erroneous assumption based upon a false stereotype. Most sociopaths would find this question as illogical as the rest of us and ponder a whole range of other possibilities (e.g., why didn't the girl strike up a conversation with the man at the funeral, examine the condolence book afterwards, or ask her sister about him?); rather than just blurting out the purported "typical" response, many of them would provide answers just as mainstream as those offered by us "normal" folks (e.g., one sister thought the other was involved with the mystery man and killed her sibling over an imagined romantic rivalry).

In other words, this isn't a question where all the psychopaths would go one way and everybody else would go another. As a quick 'n' easy way to separate the sheep from the murderous goats, it wouldn't work. Besides, no one hypothetical is ever going to reveal the state of any person's mental condition; whole batteries of multi-item tests are needed for that. Entirely healthy folks can answer one isolated question in such a way as to indicate the possible presence of mental illness, just as severely ill folks can answer the same question in a healthy manner.

The appeal of this one-question pop psych quiz lies in its implicit promise that by using it on your friends, you can locate the psychopaths lurking in your circle of acquaintance and thereby protect yourself from them, or perhaps in the process of your answering it you'll uncover some deep, dark secret you've been keeping from yourself. We like our world simplified whenever possible, and therefore anything that appears to be an easy-to-use tool will be quickly seized upon, even if it's flawed.

Would that it were that simple. Psychopaths are intermingled with the general population and are not that easily identified. They are best characterized as persons devoid of remorse and empathy. What sets them apart is not that these two characteristics are depressed or reduced in them, but that they are entirely missing. Psychopaths are held in check only by their fear of being caught and punished; the potential impact of their actions upon others is without relevance to them, and guilt is just a word in the dictionary to them, not something they themselves experience.

Not all psychopaths are rampaging killers, constantly on the hunt for their next victims. Many live law-abiding lives and outwardly appear quite normal. They lack a sense of right versus wrong, and they do not care about the people in their lives, not even their spouses or children; the risk to their own well-being is what keeps them, for the most part, on the straight and narrow. These are not healthy individuals to become involved with, but on the other hand, they are not necessarily mere heartbeats away from taking up the nearest hatchet and laying waste to the steno pool just because it's Tuesday.

A psychopath might think to murder her sister after their mother's death, but the motivation would more likely be one of inheritance. "Why settle for half an estate when only one person stands between me and all of it?" would be a more prevalent line of thought.

Interesting test. It's as if in psychopathic thinking one fixed goal becomes all important and every thing else looses its significance. Even the well-being of the psychopath himself or herself!

This also relates to other behaviors in society. For example, this is very much how the business world has been operating. Just as they said in the documentary The Corporation, many companies, when tested with a standard psychological scale, have psychopathic traits.

Yes, absolutely, and that's a proven fact. I saw a doco outlining that fact, then one of the psychologists or a person studying psychopaths said that based on all this, he wondered how many politicians are psychopaths? He was concerned, because of his studies.

The answer was in the question. Anyone with good anylitical skills would have worked out the answer, not just psycopaths. Since when does intellegence equal insanity?

Intelligence has nothing to do with psychopathy. There is a very good article on it here if you want further info. http://www.cassiopaea.com/cassiopaea/psychopath.htm

psychopaths can have:confused: (psychotic episodes) which means they could kill and have no memory of doing so.

Psychosis is also the same as a psychotic episode, where you can loose touch with what's reffered to as this reality also known as blackouts, amnesia even, which has nothing to do with being a psycopath.

One theory is that a psycopath's eyes always remain the same, no matter what emotions they are experiencing. ( a fixed cold gaze) Could this be the (reptilian stare?) Like the hypnotic stare a snake uses just before striking it's prey.

But this is implying that because i got the question right that i have psycopathic tendancies is it not? Im saying that i worked out the answer by thinking about it not because I have psycopathic tendancies, thats all.

thanks for the link jimi

In the documentary 'Killing of America', they say that the average I.Q. of the mass murderer is over 125. They have to be smart to get away with it for so long.

Mine was 156 when last tested. Does this have something to do with me answering correctly?

As an I.Q. test is based on logical progression of patterns, I'd say that is a big YES to me.

I think you would find there are many people who have the potential of taking anothers life given the right circumstances.
Interesting Rasta, ty for that
