Maral Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Read the question, come up with an answer and then look at the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. I don't vouch for the accuracy. 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, that she fell in love with him there but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later the girl killed her own sister. Question: What is her motive in killing her sister? Give this some thought before you look at the result. 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 this test and answered it correctly. If you didn't answer correctly -- good for you. If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can ignore your posts... unless that will tick you off, then I'll just be extra nice to you from now on ...

bellthecat Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Maral, the ability to recognise psychopathic/sociopathic reasons behind someone elses actions does not mean that the person doing the recognising is a psychopath / sociopath!!

Anonymouse Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I thought it was because the sister was actually the guy and it was her on an acid trip initially during what she THOUGHT was a funeral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Well, after a long absence from the board, here I will start by answering this thread. I thought the exact same thing as Sip and Vava. BTW, for those that wonder what a psychopath is. If you don't feel that killing, steeling etc... are wrong, you behave like a psychopath. A person that is an acute psychopath, would always need to have with him notes about what he can not do... because that person can not feel what is wrong... he just can not know. It is now believed that the condition is more caused by environmental conditioning rather than a physical defect of the brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellthecat Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 (edited) BTW, for those that wonder what a psychopath is. If you don't feel that killing, steeling etc... are wrong, you behave like a psychopath. A person that is an acute psychopath, would always need to have with him notes about what he can not do... because that person can not feel what is wrong... he just can not know. It is now believed that the condition is more caused by environmental conditioning rather than a physical defect of the brain. Sociopathology has been studied at least since the early 19th century. During much of that time it was known as psychopathology. In 1930, G.E. Partridge proposed that the title of psychopath be changed to sociopath, for he viewed this illness as a social problem instead of just a mental illness. In 1952, the American Psychiatric Association acted on this suggestion by officially replacing the term psychopath with the term sociopath. Profile of a Sociopath 16 Key symptoms: ((This came from a website dealing with cult leaders, but most of it applies to any sociopath. IMHO, a certain member of this forum has 14 of them, only the final two symptoms were missing - though maybe that's just because I didn't know about them). Glibness/Superficial Charm Language can be used without effort by them to confuse and convince their audience. Captivating storytellers that exude self-confidence, they can spin a web that intrigues others. Since they are persuasive, they have the capacity to destroy their critics verbally or emotionally. Manipulative and Conning They never recognize the rights of others and see their self-serving behaviors permissible. They appear to be charming, yet are covertly hostile and domineering, seeing their victim as merely an instrument to be used. They dominate and humiliate their victims. Grandiose Sense of Self Feels entitled to certain things as "their right." Craves adulation and attendance. Must be the center of attention with their own fantasies as the "spokesman for God," "enlightened," "leader of humankind," etc. Creates an us-versus-them mentality Pathological Lying Has no problem lying coolly and easily and it is almost impossible for them to be truthful on a consistent basis. Can create, and get caught up in, a complex belief about their own powers and abilities. Extremely convincing and able to pass lie detector tests. Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt A deep seated rage, which is split off and repressed, is at their core. Does not see others around them as people, but only as targets and opportunities. Instead of friends, they have victims and accomplices who end up as victims. The end always justifies the means and they let nothing stand in their way. Shallow Emotions When they show what seems to be warmth, joy, love and compassion, it is more feigned than experienced and serves an ulterior motive. Outraged by insignificant matters, yet remaining unmoved and cold by what would upset a normal person. Since they are not genuine, neither are their promises. Incapacity for Love While they talk about "God's love" they are unable to give or receive it. Since they do not believe in the genuineness of their followers' love, they are very harsh in testing it from their devotees and expect them to feel guilt for their failings. Expects unconditional surrender. Need for Stimulation Living on the edge, yet testing the beliefs of their followers with bizarre rules, punishments and behaviors. Verbal outbursts and physical punishments are normal. Callousness/Lack of Empathy Unable to empathize with the pain of their victims, having only contempt for others' feelings of distress and readily taking advantage of them. Their skills are used to exploit, abuse and exert power. Since the follower cannot believe their leader would callously hurt them, they rationalize the behavior as necessary for their (or the group's) own "good" and deny the abuse. When devotees become aware of the exploitation it feels like a "spiritual rape" to them. Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature Rage and abuse, alternating with small expressions of love and approval produce an addictive cycle for abuser and abused, as well as creating hopelessness in the victim. Believe they are all-powerful, all-knowing, entitled to every wish, no sense of personal boundaries, no concern for their impact on others. The followers only see them as near perfect. Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency Usually has a history of behavioral and academic difficulties, yet "gets by" by conning others. Problems in making and keeping friends; aberrant behaviors such as cruelty to people or animals, stealing, etc. Irresponsibility/Unreliability Not concerned about wrecking others' lives and dreams. Oblivious or indifferent to the devastation they cause. Does not accept blame themselves, but blame their followers or others outside their group. Blame reinforces passivity and obedience and produces guilt, shame, terror and conformity in the followers. Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity Totalist leaders frequently practice promiscuity, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual acting out of all sorts. This is usually kept hidden from all but the inner circle. Stringent sexual control of their followers, such as forced breakups and divorces, removal of children from parents, rules for dating, etc. Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle Tends to move around a lot or makes all encompassing promises for the future. Many groups claim as their goal world-domination or other utopian promises. Great contrast between the leader's opulent lifestyle and the followers' impoverishment. Support by gifts and donations from the followers who are pressured to give through fear and guilt. Highly sensitive to their own pain and health. Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility Changes their image and that of the group as needed to avoid prosecution and to increase income and to recruit a range of members. Is able to adapt or relocate as needed to preserve the group. Can resurface later with a new name, a new front group and a new twist on the scam.
