Psychological test

[shiato storm]

Ok, first read this and post your answer of what you think, and then I'll tell you what it means...
I think you'll be surprised. ok here we go:

There's a woman who is at a funeral, quite upset but handling herself well. She bumps into this guy who she instantly gets along with, to her he is perfect in every way. He's funny, charming, handsome, kind-everything about him is perfect. He consols her, makes her forget she's at a funeral but when its all over she can't find this guy who she had instantly fallen head over heels for, and to top it all she never got his number or name!
Anyway, three weeks later this woman KILLS her sister.

WHY?

...

[da_ging]

cause shes a murderer and the funeral was her last victim

[Russ]

um, iono.

Maybe somehting to do with, her sister kidnapped him, and thats why she cant find him

[megah0]

the man was the priest, she kills her sister so she can go back and see him again

[oddytomtom]

perhaps she got so down she killed her sister and perhaps he was the driver for the funeral car

[Skii]

in the hope that she sees the bloke again at the funeral.

Can I have my restraints now ?

[oddytomtom]

exactly skii has it thats why !

[Knoxville]

nah im with mgh0, i reckon the bloke was the priest

[shiato storm]

jesus!!! oh my god!!! in only a short space of time I've managed to accumulate probably all the crazy people in one swoop!!

ok, this test was given to various in-mates on death row or maximum security prisons, a total of 220 (about that anyway).
210 of those Psychopaths responded exactly the same way as some of you guys:

She killed her sister in order to see her dream bloke again. (regardless of whether he's the priest or not)

those that answered like this have just certified themselves as potential killers.
just sit back and wait for the sirens and the restraints too

when I was asked I said it was to 'cause her sister had an affair and got killed out of jealousy!

hello psychos...

[silent ben]

or, mebbe thats the only logical solution 98% of people think of. Would make more sence.

lol I was given this same test last night, unfortunately I didn't pass as a psychopath, it was told a little differently though

[shiato storm]

ooh... yeah I think its one of those ones going round on the email. I was actually told it (not via email) but I'm guessing thats how its spreading.

[unrealrocks]

I'd have said her sister was going out with the guy!

I think I've heard this one before somewhere ... theres one with a boat and a girl and a house or something, can't quite remember it! I know its got something todo with the girl selling her clothes for a ride in the boat or something!

[shiato storm]

...mmmm... sounds dubious

[Punky]

because she failed to attain an attachment with the man, thus meaning she felt displaced in life and resorted to killing her sister for attention from others to attain the attention she required....well you said it was a psychological question!
apart from that, i aint got a clue mate!

Was it this:

A serial killer attends his mother's funeral, there he meets a woman who he instantly falls in love with. A week later he kills his sister. Why?

The two answers are the woman at the funeral WAS his sister and because he couldn't be with her he chose to kill her instead (this is the sane answer)

Or

He kills his sister in the hope he'll see the woman at the funeral again. (the psycho answer)

I believe it's on BBC's Science website.
