    Interesting Test
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a psychological test presented through a story about a girl who, after meeting an enchanting man at her mother's funeral, kills her sister days later. Participants speculate on her motive for the murder, with many concluding that she hoped to see the man again at her sister's funeral, as he had attended her mother's. Some suggest that her actions stem from a desire to rekindle the intense feelings of love experienced during the funeral, while others propose jealousy or revenge as potential motives. The conversation highlights the complexities of human psychology and the nature of psychopathy, with participants debating the implications of the girl's actions and the effectiveness of the story as a psychological test. The consensus leans toward the idea that her motive was to create a situation that would allow her to encounter the man again, illustrating a disturbing logic that aligns with psychopathic thinking.

Woah...those lateral thinking puzzles are quite tough. Take a look at this one for example: A man is driving to work. He turns on the radio and knows that he will be going to prison. How does he know?

While a murder came across my mind, another "original" idea came forth.

The man is driving to prison because he ended up taking the wrong road to work, and learned of it from the traffic reports on the radio :rolleyes:.

I suppose that could work also. It would take the glamour out of the story though, if the guy was just going the wrong direction :rolleyes:.

some of those questions are just plain stupid - look at this one for example:

A man dies in a desert next to a large rock. There are no footprints in the sand, how did the man die?

Now, LOGICALLY the man just happened to die next to a large rock, and the wind blew the sand over his footsteps.

BUT NO, here is the "solution": The man is no ordinary man, but Superman and the rock is Kryptonite.

WTF lol truly stupid if you ask me.
