Are you a psychopath? (test, one question)

Amp & Lensman

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!





no

Thanks for the ICQ. I am going to have to give this test to everyone I know now. I totally failed to get this question right and the answer so darn elegant too.

cd smith were did u get that test from very disturbing to me i got that right. I would like to read more about that please leave a link. Thanks

I know someone that answered it correctly, he is the only one I know that has.

We did this months and months ago...

yup.... same here.

yeah CDSmith where'd you get that question?

Honestly I thought the answer was quite simple, does this really mean I'm a psychopath?

Hey Amp, wanna go on a killing spree?

Just searched for "psychological test".

HAHAHAHA OH SHIT

I ANWSERED CORRECTLY

but I thought she had been planning to murder her sister & mother anyway, because they were more successful with men than she was.. and killing her sister at this point worked in her favor because she'd be able to meet the friend of the family again

But yeah, Whoever wrote this "test" is an absolute idiot

It's just probable cause, It's not like I was agreeing with what the woman did... I was just thinking what would this girl do if she was a psycho

Okay... dammit

guess i don't have to worry cause I didnt come up with anything even close to that

This test is totally flawed, since when is using logic the sign of a psychopath? It's obvious that she might have thought the man was there because somehow he was related to the mother, thus also very likely related to the sister. Just because you can see this pattern, does not necessarily mean you would do the same thing she did, if science really worked this way we'd still be in the stone age

I'm hoping you're joking, if not then THAT's the real sign of a psychopath

Only a true psychopath will sit there and argue with the thought processes and motivations of a psych professor.

Oh please, those are first motherfuckers you should question, only psycopaths enter the field, this is a known fact! But I wasn't arguing the thought process of the professor, I was arguing your thought process =)

ty for helping figure out my problem

my answer was far from correct. I though she killed her sister because she started dating him

That's what I guessed too. Could be the medication talking though (I am on a medication that they give to psychopaths). Fun.

according to that no... on the other hand...

If you answer the question while thinking "what would a psychopath do", this test looses any accuracy it ever had. ( as many people would given the title of this thread)

tread carefully son, what r u insinuating?

I guess I'm okay... I came up with all kinds of stupid shit but never that! Even after I read the answer I had to think about it for a second.


On second thought, maybe i'm just fucking stupid.

Fuck, I got it right. Should I turn myself into the police?

Maybe I am a psycho.....

didnt guess it fortunately.

me too

I got it right away, should I be scared ?

Haha... I guessed that she didnt kill him. I thought the guy she didnt know killed her mom and her sister

I got it right...David CLAIMS it is just because I watch so much crime TV...

I'm not a psych prof, as in... I didn't invent the question.


Your dad was a psych prof, wasn't he.

It's in keeping with the school of thought that you're a 15 yr old basement bandit.

haha I would never thought of that:p

I answered: "To meet the guy again"

Does that make me a psycho?

Yeah... y-yeah.... that m-must be it.

I didnt get it right, I thought she killed her cause her sister had killed the guy

I though she killed the sister cause she was on drugs

Guess I'm a psychopath, that answer was the first thing I thought of

Its False by the way....

"...Psychopaths (also known as "sociopaths") possess the same problem-solving skills that the rest of us do, and some of them have been found to be remarkably brilliant (e. g., Ted Bundy). The assumption that all sociopaths approach problems with a "Whom can I kill to solve this" mentality (and that sociopaths believe everyone else thinks this way as well) is a erroneous assumption based upon a false stereotype. Most sociopaths would find this question as illogical as the rest of us and ponder a whole range of other possibilities (e.g., why didn't the girl strike up a conversation with the man at the funeral, examine the condolence book afterwards, or ask her sister about him?); rather just than blurting out the purported "typical" response, many of them would provide answers just as mainstream as those offered by us "normal" folks (e.g., one sister thought the other was involved with the mystery man and killed her sibling over an imagined romantic rivalry).

In other words, this isn't a question where all the psychopaths would go one way and everybody else would go another. As a quick 'n' easy way to separate the sheep from the murderous goats, it wouldn't work. Besides, no one hypothetical is ever going to reveal the state of any person's mental condition; whole batteries of multi-item tests are needed for that. Entirely healthy folks can answer one isolated question in such a way as to indicate the possible presence of mental illness, just as severely ill folks can answer the same question in a healthy manner.

The appeal of this one-question pop psych quiz lies in its implicit promise that by using it on your friends, you can locate the psychopaths lurking in your circle of acquaintance and thereby protect yourself from them, or perhaps in the process of your answering it you'll uncover some deep, dark secret you've been keeping from yourself. We like our world simplified whenever possible, and therefore anything that appears to be an easy-to-use tool will be quickly seized upon, even if it's flawed.

Would that it were that simple. Psychopaths are intermingled with the general population and are not that easily identified. They are best characterized as persons devoid of remorse and empathy. What sets them apart is not that these two characteristics are depressed or reduced in them, but that they are entirely missing. Psychopaths are held in check only by their fear of being caught and punished; the potential impact of their actions upon others is without relevance to them, and guilt is just a word in the dictionary to them, not something they themselves experience.

Not all psychopaths are rampaging killers, constantly on the hunt for their next victims. Many live law-abiding lives and outwardly appear quite normal. They lack a sense of right versus wrong, and they do not care about the people in their lives, not even their spouses or children; the risk to their own well-being is what keeps them, for the most part, on the straight and narrow. These are not healthy individuals to become involved with, but on the other hand, they are not necessarily mere heartbeats away from taking up the nearest hatchet and laying waste to the steno pool just because it's Tuesday.

A psychopath might think to murder her sister after their mother's death, but the motivation would more likely be one of inheritance. "Why settle for half an estate when only one person stands between me and all of it?" would be a more prevalent line of thought."

Killjoy.



I really should have said "don't overthink it" in the original post.

I didn't get the question right...but my girlfriend did...wtf!!!

Exactly.. I got it wrong myself. But I just asked two people telling them this question would reveal if you are a psychopath and both answered it as a psychopath would. They commented they thought like a psychopath would.

If you just asked the question leaving out the reason for the question this may be more accurate.

i guessed that her sister might have known that she killed her mother, and someone from the fbi was there looking around, so she secretly killed her sister, so that her sister couldnt provide evidence of who killed their mother

I heard something like this but the story was different. It was both the girl and sister likes the guy. Then that night she has a dream of killing her sister. Why?
MOst people would answer because of competition (Normal)
But if you answer to have another funeral, den (killer).

I was gonna say she was pissed beacuase she suspected her sister took off with the dude!

now you're on the list motherfucker

You know what must be done.




No mercy for him.... <img SRC="http://members.shaw.ca/billy1-99/pics/g_buzz_saw.gif">

erm I guessed she thought he would turn up at the funeral






















Yeah right, just fucking with ya
I thought her sister got his number.

Is it just me or does that pretty much describe [Labret]?

yes..yes I am

FUCK... I got it right! The one time I wanted to be wrong lol

Nope
