Kiwigirl Fishing

Kiwigirl sent me an email with a little test in it. When you read it you will see it is a fairly thinly veiled attempt to establish whether or not I might be a mentalist. And a particularly nasty strain of mentalist at that! Try it for yourself and you will see what I mean:
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 know has got it right.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met a guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing. She believed him to be her dream guy 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 is her motive for killing her sister?


[Give this some thought before you answer, see answer below]








Answer:

She was hoping 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.
Thankfully - I actually got it wrong, but can certainly see how someone with a penchant for a bit of murder would happen directly upon that sort of cusual relationship!

Kiwigirl - rest easy.
