Lets see how your mind works! This is a genuine psychological test.
It is a story about a girl:-

While at the funeral of her mother, she met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this he was amazing, so much the dream guy she was searching for that she fell in love with him right there and then. However, she never asked for his name or number and afterward could not find anyone who knew who he was.
A few days later the girl killed her own sister.
Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?
Give this some thought for a while before you scroll down.
DON'T CHEAT!

Answer:-
The girl 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. 914 arrested serial killers took part in this test and 904 answered it correctly.

If you answered it correctly, time to see a psychiatrist.

If you know somebody who got it right, then you’d be advised to keep your distance!

did he ask anyone who wasn't a serial killer? because personally I think that in order to achieve a correct conclusion in this situation you really would need to. maybe that's just me

I got asked this a while ago.

I thought the girl wanted to make a skin-suit, so I'm clearly normal.

I got the "killer" answer ages ago, but so have most of the people who I've asked. It doesn't really prove jack shit.

The way I see it, if 1000 serial killers were asked what 5 x 5 was, 1000 would get it right. Doesn't make me a serial killer for knowing that 5 x 5 = 25.

No. Given the conditions of the problem it's the only conclusion you can come to without adding your own interpretations.
