Psychopath test....
If you pass this test, you may need to see a doctor.
To find out, please read the question below, and try to come up with the right answer.
This is NOT a trick question.
The question is exactly what it is; there are no games. No one I know so far has got it right . . .
--------------------------
A woman went to the funeral of her own mother. There, she met a guy whom she did not know. She thought the man was amazing. Really amazing. She fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him again. A week later she killed her sister.
Question:
What is her motive for killing her sister?
Give this some thought before you look at the answer.
Answer
She was hoping the guy would appear at the funeral again.
If you answered this correctly, you apparently think like a psychopath.
Several arrested serial killers were given test and answered the question correctly

Good article from Newsweek on changing cognition in order to get peace of mind.
Will this constitute lying to oneself though?
