Sociopaths look at the world differently than "normal" people whatever that means. While most are not murderers, they commonly exhibit a lack of conscience and a lack of empathy as well as several other key diagnostic characteristics.

The riddle, which I've seen in several different places, is designed to see if you can think like a sociopath. That is - if you understand the internal logic that they might use to committ such a terrible act.

Many people who are not sociopathic get the answer because they understand the predatory, any-means-to-an-end thinking utilized by sociopaths - not because they are brilliant. Law inforcement and psychiatric professionals who deal with these people have to understand what makes them tick.

But if you ask someone that riddle and they know the answer and they don't deal with sociopaths professionally ( or haven't seen it somewhere else already)......you just might want to use caution around them.

I said yellow hammer.....

I was hoping to see my white hoe at the end.

Isn't pandering against the law ?

I said blue rake... that's like the complete opposite of a red hammer. wth

red hammer ... interesting

Blue hammer. lol

Finally got to see the video - it just wouldn't load prior to today....

Green garden hoe. Seriously. But it's because I am a gardener not a sociopath.
A garden hoe is a crossover tool though because I also use it in extensively in dumpster diving.

hehehe yellow drill ???
guess i don't watch enough tv

SO I said blue impact gun.... I don't get it

Where the heck is everyone getting the hammer from? Just the image?

I know a sociopath test - it goes like this -

A young, single woman attends her sister's wedding and meets an attractive single man at the reception.
At the close of festivities, she realizes that she didn't catch his name or get his number and he is nowhere to be found. None
of the other guests seem to know his identity.
When her newly married sister returns from her honeymoon, the young, single woman murders her.
Why?

That one is too easy.>:) The young woman killed her sister because if she had not gotten married she would have never met the young guy she liked. SO it was her sister’s fault for meeting him in the first and not being able to find him now.


I have to admit; this one had me baffled for a while. But with all the Criminal Minds episodes I have watch I new I would figure it out. LOL
