I don't know if this is an actual psychopathy test. It does seem plausible, though. The mark of a psychopath is self-centredness and the inability to empathize with others. No doubt, I believe you will be intrigued by this.
Read this question, come up with an answer. . . 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.
Keep in mind, I have my doubts that this is indeed an actual test for psychopathy. Asking for the man's number outright the first time you meet him seems like the more pragmatic choice. Also, if she loves the man, she would want to create optimum conditions in which he would desire her. Her sister's funeral doesn't seem like an optimum condition.
But I'm not going to dismiss this test. For all we know, this could be a real test. I'm not a pychiatrist, so there is no way for me to know the reasoning behind the psychopath's actions.

What did you mean when you said "no one I know has got it right?" (What's right?)
Anyway, I apparently think like a psychopath!
I, myself, have never said "no one I know has got it right". Afterall, I question the accuracy of the test. That quote is actually from the link I supplied.
I got the answer right off the bat. The question was way too easy, even if her reasoning was off.
Yeah, immidiately it dawned on me... There was no other thought, thats the completely rational and logical perspective... Duh...
However, I disagree with 'ol anonymous there because the reasoning isn't off. If you came to that conclusion instantly it seems odd to me the "off-reasoning" was what they got "Right off the bat"...
Just saying
I thought she killed her sister 'cause her sister also thought the guy was amazing. But now when I read the answer it seems as "logical" as my answer..
my uncle Mario got it right. He is Mexican, does that have anything to do with him getting it right
its possible to be psychotic and to not harm but i doubt it.a friend of mine told me that he thinks i have psychotic tendencies because,if someone offends me,i wait a while for revenge but my revenge is disproprionate to the perceived insult every time.
emm it dont seem logical to you because you dont think like a psychopath..... its simple she didnt care who she hurt she just wanted the chance to meet that guy again even if it meant killing her sister. how much more self centerd can you be. she dont even know for sure he will show up but she knows for sure her sister will be dead.
i have a big ding dong and i am a psychopath. LOL
These things are kinda cool if you as me because im a PSYCHOPATH and i kill people for no reason. No really, one of my friend only...
sucks so much dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Psychopath? what's a psychopath!?
LOL, Psychopaths are people who are killers and they kill for nothing! I wanna kill you all!
Erm, you're thinking of serial killers. Psychopaths don't always kill people. They're people who are deceptive, reckless, and lacking a consciense, basically.
And there is a huuuuuuuuge difference between psychopaths and psychotics. Psychotics are people that see/hear things.
I think you guys saying how obvious and logical the answer is are missing the point. Which is that to the "normal" person the answer makes the hair at the back of your head stand on end.
I thought maybe the girl killed her sister because she was just in the middle of a family killing spree, just having killed her mother, and it had little to do with the guy. I think that means I have a morbid way of thinking, but don't think like a psychopath.
