Psychopath Test

Don't know if anyone on the forum has seen this item

Read the following and come up with an answer. This is not a trick question. It is as it
reads.

No one I know has gotten 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?

Please answer the question before looking at the 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.

I read this out to my other half and he got it right as well - strange but I knew he would.

This was one of my thoughts. Or maybe the sister had killed the mother and so the other sister killed that sister for revenge!

My partner got it exactly right though!! Help!! Let me out of here!!

Does anyone disagree?

Re: Psychopath Test

I have always thought that "test" is flawed because killing her sister is not necessarily going to bring her into contact with him again, although it is likely to get her arrested. There are far more productive avenues of investigation to be tried first. Most psychopaths are extremely bright and would know that.

Re: Psychopath Test

A motorway and a dual carriageway are sat in the pub mouthing off about how hard they are. "I'm blatantly harder than you" says the dual carriageway "I've got two lanes and a central reservation". "Rubbish" says the motorway "I've got THREE lanes, a central reservation AND a hard shoulder! I'm so much harder than you!!". With that, a normal road walks in the pub and the motorway and the dual carriageway cower under the table. The road walks over to the bar, orders himself a drink knocks it back and has a look around. Unimpressed, the road gets up and leaves. Sheepishly, the dual carriageway and the motorway climb out from under the table. "look at you 2!" says the barman "you're both gobbing off about how hard u are and a normal road walks in and you're both terrified and hide under the table!!". " Yeah but you don't wanna mess with him" said the motorway "He's a cycle-path"

Love it.

Bright enough to know that killing her sister ....yet ...... is not necessarily the next logical step, Jaki. lmao

Try this one to keep you on your toes ...

Write each of your answers down, it makes a difference! You will be allowed 10 minutes to complete the test. Write your answers in the spaces provided. Are you ready? What is the time?



Start.







1) Some months have 30 days,some months have 31 days. How many months have 28 days? ____________________


2) If a doctor gives you 3 pills and tells you to take one pill every half hour, how long would it be before all the pills had been taken? ____________________



3) I went to bed at eight o'clock in the evening and wound up my clock and set the alarm to sound at nine o'clock in the morning. How many hours sleep would I get before being awoken by the alarm? ____________________



4) Divide 30 by half and add ten. What do you get?____________________



5) A farmer had 17 sheep. All but 9 died. How many live sheep were left? ___________________



6) If you had only one match and entered a COLD and DARK room, where there was an oil heater, an oil lamp and a candle, which would you light first? ____________________



7) A man builds a house with four sides of rectangular construction, each side having a southern exposure. A big bear comes along. What color is the bear? ____________________



8) Take 2 apples from 3 apples. What do you have? ___________________



9) How many animals of each species did Moses take with him in the Ark? ____________________



10) If you drove a bus with 43 people on board from Chicago and stopped at Pittsburg to pick up 7 more people and drop off 5 passengers and at Cleveland to drop off 8 passengers and pick up 4 more and eventually arrive at Philadelphia 20 hours later, what's the name of the driver? ____________________



Answers in the following article - no cheating now! GOOD LUCK!



Answers:
1) All of them. Every month has at least 28 days.

2) 1 hour. If you take a pill at 1 o'clock,then another at 1.30 and the last at 2 o'clock,they will be taken in 1 hour.

3) 1 hour. It is a wind up alarm clock which cannot discriminate between a.m. and p.m.

4) 70. Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by 2.

5) 9 live sheep.

6) The match.

7) White. If all walls face south, the house must be on the North Pole.

8) 2 apples. I HAVE 3 APPLES, YOU TAKE 2, WHAT DO YOU HAVE?

9) None. It was Noah, not Moses.

10) YOU are the driver.




Grading Scale (out of 10)

8+: Engineer

7: Student

6: High school pupil

5: Primary school pupil

4: Teacher

3: College lecturer

2: University lecturer

1: Member of Congress
