A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a man who she did not know. She thought he was 'amazing'. She believed him to be her dream partner so much, that she fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him.
A few days later she killed her sister.
Question: What was her motive for killing her sister? Give this some thought before you answer.
I'll post the correct answer in a few, good luck guys :aok
-
her sisters a cross dresser?
-
I know the answer tehehehehehehe.
-
if she cant find the guy give him a reason to come back
-
he was her sisters husband
-
Wannab's so close you might as well award it to him.
-
yip yip Wannab got it, tough crowd, thought for sure it would be awhile... good job :aok
-

-
Man I was gonna say that the women knew that if there was another death the man would come to the funeral home again so she killed her sister.

I found that funny :lol

Oooh, I know this one.
"Because she got frustrated waiting for the CT, and then her sister mocked her of being a flight-sim nerd."
I should apply for the psycho-profiler job at the FBI..!

Well, perhaps a bit of explanation...
Back when I first heard this, it was prefaced with a paragraph. Supposedly it was asked to a bunch of people in a survey about mental health. The survey was about it, not the question.
The questions used would then help determine the mental health of the person somehow.
They found that people who answered "to see him at the next funeral" were more likely to be psychopaths than people that didn't.

yeah... he obviously knew her mother, so somehow, some relative, or other would contact him about the next death.
Heard this was true story somewhere, but haven't been abel to verify it yet.

The original story has been altered too much. It's almost like those "We refuse to fail any students" attitudes. It gives you the answer, when the original one sought it.
"A woman goes to her mother's funeral. While there, she met an amazing man. However, as the funeral finished she realized that she didn't have his phone number or even really know who he was. She was so in love with him, that she needed to meet with him again. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find out who he was.
What could she do to meet him again?"
The next part of the story is that this was asked of all the Psychotic murderers in their analysis, and of normal people.
All of the murderers replied, "She could kill another family member." While all the normal people had trouble thinking of anything.
The whole thing is probably fake on Snopes

SEE, SEE
That is how evil women are! If she killed her sister, what if she found the next really nice guy?
She would kill you!
Live free, die free.
Phaser11 :rolleyes:
-
just prior to the killing, I think she was overheard saying, "All your men are belong to me."

This whole thread is disturbing. :)

Origins: This silly canard began its Internet life in May 2002. No, this question was not authored by a "famous American psychologist," nor does it come from "a genuine psychological test." Believe not everything that turns up in e-mail, especially items sorely vague about their bona fides.
Let's talk about why this isn't real. As the Tire Nut legend so eloquently illustrates, just because someone is crazy doesn't mean he's also stupid. Psychopaths (also known as sociopaths) possess the same problem-solving skills that the rest of us do, and some of them have been found to be remarkably brilliant (e.g., Ted Bundy). The assumption that all sociopaths approach problems with a "Whom can I kill to solve this?" mentality (and that sociopaths believe everyone else thinks this way as well) is an erroneous assumption based upon a false stereotype. Most sociopaths would find this question as illogical as the rest of us and ponder a whole range of other possibilities (e.g., why didn't the girl strike up a conversation with the man at the funeral, examine the condolence book afterwards, or ask her sister about him?); rather than just blurting out the purported "typical" response, many of them would provide answers just as mainstream as those offered by us "normal" folks (e.g., one sister thought the other was involved with the mystery man and killed her sibling over an imagined romantic rivalry).
In other words, this isn't a question where all the psychopaths would go one way and everybody else would go another. As a quick 'n' easy way to separate the sheep from the murderous goats, it wouldn't work. Besides, no one hypothetical is ever going to reveal the state of any person's mental condition; whole batteries of multi-item tests are needed for that. Entirely healthy folks can answer one isolated question in such a way as to indicate the possible presence of mental illness, just as severely ill folks can answer the same question in a healthy manner.
The appeal of this one-question pop psych quiz lies in its implicit promise that by using it on your friends, you can locate the psychopaths lurking in your circle of acquaintance and thereby protect yourself from them, or perhaps in the process of your answering it you'll uncover some deep, dark secret you've been keeping from yourself. We like our world simplified whenever possible, and therefore anything that appears to be an easy-to-use tool will be quickly seized upon, even if it's flawed.
Would that it were that simple. Psychopaths are intermingled with the general population and are not that easily identified. They are best characterized as persons devoid of remorse and empathy. What sets them apart is not that these two characteristics are depressed or reduced in them, but that they are entirely missing. Psychopaths are held in check only by their fear of being caught and punished; the potential impact of their actions upon others is without relevance to them, and guilt is just a word in the dictionary to them, not something they themselves experience.
Not all psychopaths are rampaging killers, constantly on the hunt for their next victims. Many live law-abiding lives and outwardly appear quite normal. They lack a sense of right versus wrong, and they do not care about the people in their lives, not even their spouses or children; the risk to their own well-being is what keeps them, for the most part, on the straight and narrow. These are not healthy individuals to become involved with, but on the other hand, they are not necessarily mere heartbeats away from taking up the nearest hatchet and laying waste to the steno pool just because it's Tuesday.
A psychopath might think to murder her sister after their mother's death, but the motivation would more likely be one of inheritance. "Why settle for half an estate when only one person stands between me and all of it?" would be a more prevalent line of thought.

Here’s the conclusion I came to:
When she met the man he was introduced to her as her sister’s husband; her estranged identical twin sister’s husband whom she had never met, mind you. She killed her sister to instantly assume her twin sister’s role as the spouse of the man.
Twisted thinking, yes, but original!

Actually they were Triplets and now the plot thickens.....

Well, we aren't saying that Psychopaths would just blurt out to kill another family member. We were saying that in analyzing the choices, it would never occur to a normal person that a solution would be to do just that.
And when you think about it, it does make sense. In a no-morals point of view, to kill another family member is the simplest most logical answer to the question.
But this is entirely hypothetical. We aren't saying WOULD someone go out and kill another family member. We are asking if this was the solution to the problem.
