Take this test to see if you qualify.....
....This was sent by a close friend who happens to have a degree in psychology. Reply with your answer before you actually look up the answer. My answer was that the person found out that they had been cheated. That was the wrong answer. So, here is the test exactly as it was sent to me.

PSYCHO 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 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). 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. 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 email list unless that will tick you off, then I'll just be extra nice to you from now on. Be sure to share the test!

5. psychopaths never think they're psychopaths
just as everyone thinks they have a good sense of humor.

6. Same here
but I attribute my correct answer to my reading too many Ann Rule books and watching CourtTV at night. It kind of freaks out my husband but I can usually "name that serial killer" in less than 1 minute. The only other things I'm that accurate on are Seinfeld & Twilight Zone episodes.

Too much TV, too little time.

11. Maybe that is the case for me, too, I like those shows and books.

3. That is an entertaining question, but it's BS.
The thing that gives it away is "This was a test by a famous American Psychologist."

I guess I'll just have to take the writers word that the person who came up with this test is famous, american, or a psychologist. I'm sure Snopes has something on this as well.

My ex-girlfriend actually answered this one correctly though. I didn't, and the only (highly suspected) sociopath I've ever known didn't.

Then again, the question is phrased in a way which implies that the obvious answer isn't the right one, so if you don't know the (supposed) purpose of the question it becomes more of a riddle than anything.

25. true, but if you detail some of his works, you should run across a name...
it's suspicious that the story includes so much information about a specific psychological test but can't offer a name of its creator.

16. I got it wrong. My husband got it right.

Of coure, it's complete BS, but it's fun. I hadn't seen that one before.

19. Makes sense. To a psychopath, selfish desire more important
than any interpersonal relationship even a family relationship and other people are just objects to be used to get what you want.

Could ask the question "Went to baseball game, met perfect stranger. Didnt get his number. Went to another baseball game. Why?" Answer would be "In order to meet the stranger again."

21. As one who's been told he's only two martinis from being...
... a psychopath. I must proudly state I
passed this test with flying colors.

Yay for me!

(BTW... I wouldn't have killed my sibling
to see the person again. Instead, I'd maybe
submit a false obit to the paper. ;) )

Hey, whatever happened to calling them sociopaths?

22. When it was asked on the Howard Stern show, I didn't get it right.
And I felt good about that.
