No pressure. 

Ever wondered how the mind of a psychopath works? If you’re a thriller-film fan, chances are you’ve pondered that question a few times over… You might have even wondered how similar you might be to the Hannibal Lecters and Jokers of the world. 

Well, turns out there’s a pretty simple way to find out. As Hellogiggles has shared, there is one riddle that has been circling the Internet that is said to expose whether or not you’re secretly a psychopath. 

(If you’re curious, Oxford Dictionary defines a psychopath as: “A person suffering from chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behaviour.”)

 

Apparently, the only people who can get this riddle right are those who can think like a psychopath (a group that only makes up one per cent of the general population, the ABC shares). Before you freak out, however, let’s remember, there is no real science behind this riddle – it’s just a question that has gone viral. 

You ready?

Here it is:

While at her own mother’s funeral, a woman meets a guy she doesn’t know. She thinks this guy is amazing — her dream man — and is pretty sure he could be the love of her life.

However, she never asked for his name or number and afterwards, could not find anyone who knows who he was.

A few days later the girl kills her own sister.

Why?

We’ll give you a minute to think it through…

Okay.

The reason she kills her sister is that she’s hoping her Prince Charming will turn up to the funeral and she’ll be able to cosy up to him again. 

Creepy, right?
