Since some very strange people have gotten the bizarre idea that I came up with this test, and have quoted it as MY words, I thought I'd better make it clear that I am reproducing it exactly as I received it in an email:

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 - including me.



A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a man she didn't know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy, that she believed him to be just that! She fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and couldn't 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).



SCROLL DOWN.



















































Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again.

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. I've been told that this was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer.

Supposedly, 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...

NOTICE: ALL of the above is part of the "psycho test" that was making the rounds on the net a few years ago... not one single word above is from me.
 
I didn't get it right the first time. I didn't get it right the second time neither.

But this time, after two times, i remembered the odd answer.

Ouf, happy that i did not get it the first time.
 
Oh G-d. That is awful!

There was no way in heck I could have guessed that one,
no matter how many times I thought about it, read it over
thrice, including the answer and I still couldn't fathom it.

So, I must be sane or -- am I just plain ignorant for the joke
it might alude to? :) :(
 
My oldest son passed this to me a couple of years ago. I forwarded it to the now X boyfriend. The X got it right without even thinking about it. shudder.
 
I didn't get it either and I am glad I didn't.

Thanks Laura. I am going to try this on a few guys. :)

OK. I give this to 7 people at work. Two came up with the correct answer !!!!

and one of them is a 'very nice' guy (as I knew him).

How about that ! :)

Well, it took me about three seconds to figure out the correct answer. Having read a bunch of books on psychopathy and having interacted with one daily makes it possible to "get into their mindset", twisted as it is.

Does this say anything about me? Hopefully only that the ability to See these things makes me more useful in helping victims of psychos, of which there are plenty.
 
I thought "passion crime". So when I scrolled down I was "shocked" enough by the "correct" answer that I started laughing! Much as that gave me relief, I think I would rather be in Foofighter's position of seeing all the possibilities... knowledge protects. I called my sister over to read it... although initially her thought was also "passion crime", she guessed correctly!
 
Well, I'm a little embarassed to say that instead of reading she killed HER sister, I imagined reading that she killed HIS sister. Of course, I found it strange that she killed his sister, but I imagined she did it without realizing she was his sister - thinking maybe she killed her because she found out his sister was responsible for her mother's death.

I've read that natal uranus square mercury can indicate a tendency to make these kinds of errors - darn! I was hoping I had grown out of it. It's supposedly nervous system related....

Oh well, I seem to vaguely recall having been asked the question in the past, without being told it could be an indicator of psychopathy, and getting it wrong. At the time I was disappointed that I got it wrong - now I'm just confused about my apparent inability to read what is right in front of my face :(
 
I've seen this one for many years...in classes in college, and online. A few friends who also do alot of reading on criminal justice and serial killers send it to me now and again. I confess to reading it and rolling my eyes, it's just one of those "tests" while useful, can grate on the nerves after a time.

It does not diminish the usefulness of the test. When first shown to me, I never got it either. I made a point of studying pscyhopaths and sociopaths when my sister got it right off and said it was "obvious."

Eesh.

it explained a lot of my sisters continued behavior
and the tendancies of her children though.
 
It took me a while to get it but after going through all the possibilities within the relationship between one's Mother passing away (event), funeral (location), and unknown man (unique event associated with event/location) with whom the Mother's daughter "fell in love" with and was unable to LOCATE layered with what seems to be a totally unrelated event i.e. cold murder of another daughter by the very same woman....it seemed to me that since the question was posed there must exist an answer within the clues given.

The clues do not seem to add up.

If the woman murdered her sister then she must be totally within a state of mind of zero REAL emotions for her sister but perceptions against her. So one must assume zero emotion, I mean who thinks about "falling in love" when you are at your own mother's funeral!! Not very likely, so that's another clue.

If there exists zero REAL emotion at all times then the woman has not really fallen in love. If the feeling of love is not ever to be truly felt then what is this "feeling" she labeled as "love"? and what are the effects of not feeling loved? If the feeling isn't real but a construct of perception?

A person with true emotions would act in accordance with their emotional/spiritual/intellectual/other systems interplay whose sum result/action may or may not find the Love for which he/she searched. However, a person with the unfortunate inability to receive/express True emotion does not have the same set of systems and the sum result/action will reflect that particular set which produced it.

This woman lacking emotional/spiritual capacity must rely on an alternate system, an alternate sum, a very different type of "basis" to "act". However, prior to a symptom of "action" there must exist a prior cause. The prior cause of an action must be weighted such that it warrants a "decision to act".

Within the set of zero emotion, prior cause probably relies on intelligence/logic/chemical rxn. so only that part of the body which contributes to "feeling emotion" may be considered as a possible sum within the total sum of "to cause". The actual decision "to act" as a result of the sum "to cause" might be perceived as an impulse "to feel" since "to feel" relies on chemical reaction. This impulse "to feel" then is the desired product from the sum "to cause" and a decision "to feel" is made when this sum exceeds a critical horizon and "to act" is manifested.

This impulse "to feel" resulted from a set of variables (I hate to say it, but I have to assume zero emotion): Mother's funeral, unknown man, "falling in love", can't find unknown man.

A person of True emotions would not even consider what this woman did as it does not make any sense. However, for a person of zero emotion the reliance on a smaller set of variables yields an altogether DIFFERENT set of choices that "make sense." Therefore, this woman must have had a sum "to cause" with a critical impulse "to feel" that set in motion "to act" to produce a desired result that would mimic a prior "to feel love" environment.

Patterns have been attributed to behavior as a reflection of particular thinking patterns i.e. perceptive processing. From perceptive processing yields a set of choices. The set is a reflection of utilized systems as a function of processing. The choices made based on such sets yields action but may not convey to another individual utilizing an altogether different processing schema as totally different. However, it is the sum set of choices made that will reflect the true pattern of processing and within the set lie choice combinations produced by sets of unrelated circumstance.

The story above as given conveys circumstance and action that are unrelated so this might be such a set as this yielded as a result the cold murder of this woman's sister stemming from a desire to see/meet the man she "fell in love" with again.

Don't know how much snopes can be trusted in this, but they say that this test was never used by actual psychologists. hxxp://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/sister.htm

I thought that no answer really made sense, but the one that she was hoping that he would show again at a funeral of her family member seemed like the least absurd one.
 
I thought she had been greenbaumed.
The correct answer is scary.

Do anyone know were I could find more of these tests? I would love to learn a few more.
 
Her sister met her mate just after their mother's funeral, and perhaps she considered her sister like her mother? A guess :)
 
Ouch!!! (then stoned...) I'd really have to share this test around, it may be helpful...

So, we still don't know anything about psychopaths, isn't it?
