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 that I know of 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) Then scroll down to see the 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.

I AM a psychopath sometimes o_O

I said that the lady killed her sister because she found out the guy liked her sister and the lady was crazed with jealousy...generic soap stuff :P (although my mind normally gravitates toward "crazed with jealousy" in these sort of matters since irl I'm well sort of...uhh...really crazed with jealousy o_o;; )

I think questions like these can't really determine how a person thinks... if a person answers it correctly maybe they're just really smart...hmm

shiggamy?
actually... they do use this question for 'official' testing sometimes to check if someone's a psychopath... Supposedly, it's impossible to answer it unless you've heard of the question before, or you are a psychopath.

....innocent! Hehe..
I thought the same thing you did Chairman Kaga! It just seems to make the most sense. If I thought really hard I might've been able to guess it, but I'm just too bushed.

I think the first time I heard it, I thought the man was her sister's husband, so she killed her sister so she could have him without any "problems". <_<;

But... yeah. I can see how this would be used to evaluate one's thinking process. I don't think only one question can be used to see if someone is a psychopath, though. You would need a carefully devised test of several questions because the person may have heard some of them somewhere before or they could get one "right" by fluke. :\

Why ask us? o_O Just read the post. It's not like you can't still say what your original guess was in the first place after you find out the "real' answer. ^_^;;

He doesn't go to random funerals. She killed her sister because she figured that the man was a family friend. Therefore, if he went to her mother's funeral, there was a good chance he would go to her sister's funeral too.

If you got it right, it just signifies that you might think like a psychopath thinks. o_o

Aww. ;_; I wish I had thought about it more before I scrolled down. ._.; OkayI still probably wouldnt have got it though. Im awful at those sort of logical things.
actually... it's the other way around. This question's answer is 'supposedly' not logical at all to a "normal" human being. If you can think "not normal" then you're "mental."

However, this question is too commonly said around to be accurate anymore... but if you're being a psychologist, you'll be seeing many things like these...
