Interesting psychological 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 has gotten it right-including me.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be just 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 in killing her sister? (Give this some thought before you answer)

Answer: She was hoping that 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 of my e-mail list unless that will tick you off, then I'll just be extra nice to you from now on

11. The little voice in my head
whispered the answer to me, so HE's the psycopath, not me.

12. What if your answer was

13. I got it wrong...
actually I just gave up for fear of getting it right. The answer assured me I'd never have gotten it though. But I still think I'm a bit psycho at times...

I dunno...

16. Debunked on Snopes.com
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/sister.htm

No one-question test can reveal whether you are a psychopath.

17. I thought the "person" was Jesus
or God & she figured "he'd" show up again.
Does that count as making me a psychopath?

18. So glad I got it wrong!
My only thought was that maybe her sister was happily married and she was jealous, but I was pretty sure that wasn't it.

23. That's what I thought.
Which is why she didn't need his number and she offed her sister.

26. Yeah, that's where I went with it, too.
Not that it really made any coherent sense in my mind. I just couldn't work out any other reasons she might have killed her sister in reference to the first fact.
