The 'test' for psychopaths

[Daye.04]

You are the only other person I've seen that goes into such insane depth and detail.

In that case, you should really start paying more attention, dude =P
From what I've seen. There are a few people who don't go into such insane depth and detail =P

Is that better?

Allegedly, this is a test for psycopathic murderers. Yeah, you heard me. More importantly, you saw the word 'allegedly' which means that I don't know if it's true or not.

Besides, this has probably been done before. It's not a very original concept. Anyhoo, here's the question:

A woman goes to her mother's funeral and meets a man there. She dances and romances with him all night, but fails to get his name or number. The next week she kills her sister. Why?

Well, I say: With the loss of her mother the stability she found in family has evapourated, she has lost her female role figure in life. The fact that she does not find out more about this man shows her lack of desire to find an emotional connection with anyone at this traumatic time in her life but a physical connection which she desires. She will probably blame her mother for the emotion she is feeling at this time, and seeing the connection between her mother and sister (older sister maybe, so a strong female role model) causes her to find her as a suitable outlet for the guilt/betrayal she is feeling from the death of her mother.

ANALYSE ME.

I've analyzed you, and come to this conclusion: I love you.

Haha, bless you. And why would that be?

You are the only other person I've seen that goes into such insane depth and detail.

It's a habit of mine, thoughts like this are my life.

For the record, pancake are tasty But give me an argument on the second law of thermodynamics or the ontological theorums any day.

 

[leugim789]

because everybody needs a friend?

 

[KeyMaster45]

She wants to see the man again.

That makes sense, though.

Mine is the correct answer. She thinks that if there is another funeral, she can see the man again

What's scary to me is that after reading that it makes a hell of alot of sense. Does that make me a psychopath?

And as for what psijac, or however you spell his name...the one with picard as his avatar, I didn't find much sense in this question either....the more I read this thread the more I start to worry if I might be psychotic.

Uh yeah .. I really don't consider anything other than that to be worth mentioning like this ...
But uh ... Sure .. Yeah, I'll go along ...

I was just about to post this exact topic. Anyway my answer:

The girl's sister knew how to contact the guy because she had his sunglasses, and with that she could see the store and ask about the guy who bought them. However, the sister wouldn't give the sunglasses to main character girl because she wanted to sit on them. Main character girl told her she has a week to give her the glasses or else she would kill her. The sister refuses.

So on the first day, the main character asks her sister to give her the glasses. The sister refuses as she wants to sit on them. So main character girl (lets call her MCG) goes to the store and buys a single boot.

The next day, MCG asks her sister to give her the glasses or else she'll kill her at the end of the week. The sister refuses as she wants to sit on them. So MCG goes to the store and buys a rubber band.

The next day, MCG again asks her sister to give her the glasses or else she'll kill her at the end of the week. The sister refuses as she wants to sit on them. So MCG goes to the store and buys a small knife.

The next next day, MCG again again asks her sister to give her the glasses or else she'll kill her at the end of the week. The sister refuses as she wants to sit on them. So MCG goes to the store and buys a leg exercising machine thing.

MCG asks her sister for the last time and she still refuses as she wants to sit on the sunglasses. So, MCG gets the leg exercise machine and works on one leg for 3 days. That leg becomes super buff! She takes the boot and attaches the knife on the end with the rubber band and puts the boot on. She goes to her sister and kicks her in the face, killing her. She finds the sunglasses but they have already been sat on. MCG is now sad...

Okay, I just made that up on the spot in case your wondering...

Lady didn't pay him.

 

[I-Con]

Her sister slept with the guy she was dancing with?
That was just my first thought.

Are there any more questions like this.
But before I answer those, tell me, why did you run away from you uncle's farm?

Mmmm, entropy and existentialism.
That odd little man in the back of my head is telling me that we are not in the same league; yours being far above mine, as I had to google both of those.

I'll just sit here and play mental Tee-ball on an empty field while you big-leaguers make the world a better place...

[smokeybearsb]

This is like the other test:
You have a bathtub full of water and you have a spoon, a cup, and a ladle.
Which would you use to get the water out?

I don't think the answer is drain because the question states "which" not "how." I think I would use the cup, if it's bigger than the ladle. Don't think that means I'm a psychopath though.

Ahh, I just have far too much free-time, seriously. Just because I'm such a nerd it hurts does not make me intelligent.

Er... My first thought was "she was mentally unstable after losing her mother, and the heightened stress caused her to kill her sister in what would've otherwise been a small-scale argument".

It's tiresome that so many people are declaring their answer to be the "right" one, when it's a question that's geared towards gauging someone's attitude by examining the answer they give. The only "correct" answer is the one you think to be most likely, because it's yours. And therefore, the one that's most useful given the purpose of the question.

Which then leads to the point that declaring "my answer is the right one" is all the more useful, since it tells a great deal about your personality in itself.

Long and lovely post

Where've you been? The Escapist needs more people like you.

 

[New Troll]

Several others already came to the same conclusion as me, but the first thing to come to my head was the man was her father, whom she slept with. So the next week she found out she was pregnant and aborted her daughter who would have also been her sister.

My only problem with this conclusion is it would be very unlikely to be able to abort so soon after conception. Maybe if it was changed to a month instead of a week.

But it does make more sense to me than "to see him again."

But anyways...

A true psychopathic question is more along the lines of:

A man finds out his best friend is dead, so he kills himself. Why?

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

Ahh, I just have far too much free-time, seriously. Just because I'm such a nerd it hurts does not make me intelligent.

I don't discount "willingness to learn" from what qualifies as intelligence.
If you ask me, only the truly brilliant choose to actively pursue knowledge.

Ahh, your making my day And it takes a truly brilliant person to make these assumptions.

 

[Grigori361]

Because she wants to see the guy again, I took this years ago and gave that same answer.

And for the record it's one test among many, sort of like 1 question out of a quiz if you get my meaning.

 

[Daye.04]

Haha, whatever thread I post on you always seem to be there to comment on me ;D

I haven't commented you on other threads, have I?
I've only seen through your rebelleious (sp?) truths =D
You know ... You trying to hide the truth, and I see through it ... I wasn't sure if I spelled it out in a way that made it easy to read =P
