A+Psychological+Test+Answer

 * This "psychological test" was sent to me in an email. I've researched the history of the question and found that it is probably __not__ an actual psychological that was ever used. In any case, read on to see what the answer is that was being looked for. If you had the "answer" keep in mind that there are numerous flaws in the scientific basis of this test (which you will examine in the next step).**

//It is a story about a girl. While at the funeral of her own mother, she saw this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be, that she fell in love with him there and then... A few days later the girl killed her own sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?


 * She was hoping that the guy would appear at a family 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. Many arrested serial killers took part in this test and answered it correctly. If you didn't answer correctly - good for you. If any of your friends hit the jackpot, may I suggest that you keep your distance!

I did not make this up. It was sent to me from a friend.//
