You might have seen this before, but it's neat.

This is a genuine psychological test.

It is a story about a girl.

Whilst at the funeral of her own mother, she met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be, that she fell in love with him then and there.

A few days later the girl killed her own sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

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 this test and answered it correctly.

Unfortunately, I thought of this possibility eventually. Kneejerk, I answered jealousy, but it just hit me later. Weird.

If you didnt answer correctly - good for you.

Uh oh.... I got it right away. [Frown]

But I think it is because you already mentioned it was a test for psychopaths, so I knew I am allowed to think outside the lines.

If you didn't tell me it was a psychopath test, I would've guessed jealousy as well.

I was confused at first because I thought the boy was seeing the girl continuously over time. So I also thought he had told her to do it. But later I was just sittin around watching Band of Brothers and it hit me.

It seems like guys get the answer to that question easier than girls.

I've asked a lot of girls that riddle and none of them seem to get it but most boys get it right away.

Hmm...

Odd that it's written from a girls point of view.

But I'm not too surprised to see it's false. It is fun to think about, though.

Did you know it was false from the start, RR, or did you look it up?

That's because guys are willing to do a lot of weird things to get a girl's attention. [Smile]

OK I thought it was because the sister killed the mother. Is that weird?
