Psychopath Test

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?




If you answer 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 don't answer the question correctly, good for you.

Re Psychopath Test



Okay, I knew it was on Snopes, but asked G before I read the Snopes article here:

Urban Legends Reference Pages: Inboxer Rebellion (Sister Act)

His answer? The one that Snopes said was more likely to be the rationale of a psychopath.

Re Psychopath Test

Just because he can follow a psychopath's likely logic does not make him one

Heh. It's the tip of the iceberg, methinks.

Re Psychopath Test

I know I follow the logic of the psychopath without even looking (I can't look at snopes at work, go figure ), but that's because I've seen this one before.

I did NOT get that answer the first time I saw it though. I swear. :evilsmile:

Re Psychopath Test

I didn't get it the first time I saw it either. I feel good about that. Or I feel bad about that because it could be like one of those intelligence riddles I never get either.

How did you do, Bree?

Re Psychopath Test

I guess I passed. My answer? Because she wanted to. I'm not sure what that says about me.

Re Psychopath Test

I thought the guy was her sister's husband and that it was good (of course I had 10 interuptions from students while I was pondering it for two minutes.....but, it wasn't a good answer after all. Of course she would "know" her brother in law I suppose.

So...once again, ignore me

Re Psychopath Test

My first thought was that the sister was a bitch.

That idea crossed my mind as well, but like you said, she would have already known the man (you would think).

Re Psychopath Test

I was asked this once.
I gave the correct answer.
I used to read a lot of mystery novels.
