According to Wikipedia (take it for what it is worth), psychopaths can experience short-lived emotions, which would lead to a potential for the above stated scenario.

See, I was thinking Ram was confusing psychopath and sociopath.

 

I think psychopaths and sociopath's are similar in personality, but psychopaths are a little more violent, aggressive, perverted, etc.

 

I found a good article comparing the two, and this was in it.

 

David Lykken a behavioral geneticist for the University of Minnesota has come to an interesting conclusion regarding the differences between sociopaths and psychopaths. Lykken studies revealed that psychopaths are born with temperamental differences that lead them to being risk seekers, impulsive, fearless as well as not being able to socialize normally. Sociopaths have normal temperaments, and their personality disorder tends to effect their lives regarding parenting, peers, and their intelligence.

A professor asked us this and I answered the correct answer and thought it was obvious. I'm also left handed. lol

Lefties unite!

 

My grandfather used to say "He's left handed, ya know?" after every single thing I said or did wrong. Drove me crazy. :lol:

I do the same thing! I have had two left-handed QB's over my coaching time in Texas and anytime they do something crazy I say to them, "that's the left-handed crazy coming out of you!" They always get a kick out of it!

Once my wife told me the answer, I thought "Why didn't I think of that?" It seemed obvious enough.

 

All the kids I teach and coach seem to think I am crazy- I guess I'm just not a psychopath (good for them).

 

Alex Cross, the detective from the James Patterson novels and portrayed by Morgan Freeman in the films "Along Came a Spider" and "Kiss the Girls" has a test. This test can tell if someone thinks like a psychopath. If you have read the novels, please don't spoil it for anyone else.

 

Please answer the following question- if you can answer it correctly, then you think like a psychopath:

 

A woman's mother dies. She attends the funeral. She sees a man there. She instantly falls in love with him, but she never gets any information from the guy; no name, phone number, e-mail address, nothing.

 

The woman then goes home and, two days later, she murders her own sister.

 

Why would she do this?

 

If you think like a psychopath, then you know the answer- any guesses?

 

To see him again?

To see him again?

 

If you mean at the funeral, then yes.

 

 

So that there can be another funeral and she is thinking that the man might come to this one as well?

 

This is the answer that Alex Cross gave in the novel.

If you mean at the funeral, then yes.

That was what I was meaning. :clap:

Yay Pancake... You're a psychopath! Congratulations!

Just confirming what we already suspected.

No, I think he's an amnesiac.

Doesn't it worry you that your wife knew the answer? :lol:

I knew the answer , but then again I've read all of the Alex Cross novels , and practically everything else that Patterson has written .

Doesn't it worry you that your wife knew the answer? :lol:

 

She actually didn't...she read the answer after trying to guess. Although, I just live by the mantra "Happy wife, happy life!" I don't see any reason to tempt fate.
