Psychological Test

This is a story about a girl. Her mother dies and while she’s attending the funeral she meets a man. She’s never seen him before in her life, but she feels an instant connection and falls head over heels in love with him. A few days later, this happy girl kills her own sister. What was her motive?

If you said “She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again”, congratulations! You’re a psychopath. The Snook, I am happy to report, is not a psychopath. My own results were inconclusive, as my manic tendency to speed read and skip ahead meant that I read the answer before I’d even finished the question. So in other words, even if I am a psychopath, I’m a crappy haphazard one. 🙂

(Yeah, yeah, I know the whole thing is crap. I did find it on Snopes. I just thought it was amusing though.)

    I’ve done this test before, and AM a psychopath. Shocker 😉

    What if your motive was “to eat her brains”?

  3. Cool, I’m not a psychopath either. Much-needed confirmation 🙂

  4. Heh. I’m not sure it’s “confirmed” just yet, Claire. I mean, the test says that everyone that gets the answer right is a psychopath… not that all psychopaths get the question right. 🙂

  5. And Dan, every time I see your comment, I laugh. That was great. 🙂

    as your sister, i didn’t feel i could properly answer the question. it seems that, subconsciously, “sister” and “murder” go hand-in-hand with you lately…what’s up with that?! 🙁

  7. Hahaha… I didn’t think of that. (I keep having dreams where Amy murders people and I have to conceal the bodies.) Actually I haven’t had one in a while though. So that’s good.

  8. So, Dan, when is your page coming out? I’d enjoy reading more of your commentary.

    Hot-diggity, I’m normal! (?) I think after playing too many mind-puzzles/games in college (You know, A man is dead in a field with only a rope – what happened?, etc.), my mind ran a very long track of deducing nothing of the like.
    I very much enjoy Snopes, by the way.

    You’d be an alien or Hannibal Lector.
