Stole this little test from another forum :
Sally was at the funeral of her own mother, she met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, she believed him to be so much her dream guy that she fell in love with him but never asked for his number,, and then.......
A few days later, Sally killed her own sister.
Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?
Give this some thought for a while before you scroll down. If you have no idea what her motive was after giving it some thought, still scroll down to see the answer...

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 developed by a group of psychologists based on the teachings of the noted American psychologist Lightner Witmer, and it has been used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in clinical applications of this test and answered it correctly.
If you didn't answer correctly - good for you.
If you got the answer correct,,,, well,,, it may be time to check yourself into the looney bin (seriously).....
And this is my little BTW: I am not aware of any clinicians using this as an actual test, but it is a correct, although dramatic, example. The antisocial personality chain of thought works this way: "Dogs have tails, and lions have tails, therefore lions are dogs and dogs are lions." So you can see how an antisocial personality, or sociopath, cannot distinguish most right from wrong situations, their brain makes the connection of logic in a different way than most people. Which is to say, skewed
By the way I did not answer correctly.

Well, I am sorry to say that I answered it correctly. I was thinking of it like Steve's darned lateral thinking quizzes and it was the first thing that popped into my mind. Guess I'd better go start researching psych wards... :'( I'll miss everyone...
