    NOT A TRICK QUESTION

    Psychopath Test

    This is a real test.

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


































    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.

    If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you off my E-Mail list.;)

    If answering the question correctly says something about you being a psychopath or not, what about making up the question. What does it say about that psychologist I wonder?? :D

    My sister asked me this before, got the answer right away and was met by a freaked out stare.

    What's the square root of 81?

    9. Many arrested serial killers would answer his correctly. Therefore, if you answered correctly, you are a serial killer.

    How many violent psychopaths does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

    No one knows.
    They kill all the witnesses and secretly bury them and deny ever changing a lightbulb.

    And because you believed this was genuine it was well placed, even if the joke was at your expense.
