Despite online claims, the question that supposedly revealed psychopaths was not written by an American psychologist. It also did not come from a psychological test.
This is an actual psychological test. This is a story about one girl.
She met a man she didn’t know at her mother’s funeral.
He was extraordinary to her. So much so that she fell in love immediately with him…. A few short days later, her sister was murdered by the man she loved.
Question: Why did she kill her sister?
DON’T scroll until you’ve thought about the answer!
*Answer to: She hoped that the man would attend the funeral again.
You think like a psychopath if you answer correctly. This test was created by a well-known American psychologist. It tested whether one thinks like a murderer. This test was taken by many serial killers who were arrested and correctly answered. You can still pass if you don’t know the answer. I recommend that you stay away from friends who win the jackpot. (If you have the correct answer, please let me be aware so that I can remove you from my …) distribution list.
Don’t believe every piece of information you find online, especially if they are so unclear about their credibility.
Let’s examine why this is not true. The Tire Nut legend shows that being crazy does not mean that someone is also stupid. Psychopaths (also called sociopaths) have the same problem solving skills as us all, and some of them are incredibly brilliant (Ted Bundy). Sociopaths are often viewed as a group that approaches problems with a “Whom am I going to kill to solve it?” mentality. This false stereotype assumes that all sociopaths think the same way and are therefore unable to see the truth. Sociopaths would consider this question to be as absurd as us all and look into other possibilities. They would be more than happy to give an “average” response.
This means that it is not a question of whether all psychopaths will go one way or the other. It is impossible to find a quick way to tell the difference between the sheep and the murderous goats. It is impossible to determine the mental state of anyone by using one hypothetical. This is why there are many multi-item tests that can be used. The ability to answer a single question can be used to determine if someone is mentally ill. But, people who are completely healthy can do the same thing.
This pop psych quiz has one question. It promises you that it will help you find the psychopaths in your network and protect you from them. Perhaps you’ll even discover something deep inside you have been hiding. Our world is simplified. Anything that looks easy to use, even if it has flaws, will be seized on quickly.
It would be so simple. Psychopaths can be found in the common population, so they are difficult to identify. Psychopaths are people who have no empathy or remorse. They are not depressed or diminished in these characteristics, but they are completely missing them. Psychopaths keep their emotions under control by fear of being punished and caught.
Some psychopaths may not be murderous killers on the run. Many of these psychopaths live a law-abiding life and seem normal to others. They have no sense of right or wrong and don’t care about the people around them. This is what keeps them on the straight-and-silent. Although they are not healthy, these people are not likely to get involved in any kind of relationship.
Although a psychopath may think of killing her sister after the death of their mother, it is more likely that she would be motivated by inheritance.
There is only one person who can protect my estate. It would be more popular to think this way.
