My sister sent me this question via e-mail. She was asked this by her hubby who is a member of the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police).

Tough Question....

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. No one I've sent it to has gotten it right.



A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be just 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 is her motive in killing her sister?
(Give this some thought before you 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 by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as
a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly. If you didn't answer the question correctly, good for you.

I'm quite thankful that I didn't come up with the given answer . Though I'm not sure anyone would want to admit if they did.

I was pretty sure I didn't think like a psychopath, but it was an interesting question.

It's an interesting question, and I didn't get the "right" answer. But I also found this:

But the removal of one facet of the question doesn't make it any less interesting.
