Yes - you win the grand prize of absolutely nothing!

I hope you've heard this one before - because if you got the answer on your own and you don't hunt or study sociopaths I'm going to be worried! lol.

Not to argue, but what is said at the end of the video just simply isn't true.

The test is used, and ones very similar, to test how susceptible a person is to being programed by certain types of mental stimulation.

I know this because I have studied psychology for years, I hold a Masters in Psychology. The test itself is proof you can be programed, but has nothing to do with being a psychopath or sociopath, the two are also very different, one test would not be able to test for both, and it takes far more observation to identify a sociopath or psychopath.

I don't think it was meant as a diagnostic tool. Just one of those fun things that are out there.

What is even crazier is that they are currently using this exact psychology in commercials. By using different numbers, colors, faces of certain stars, etc, advertisers are able to program your brain in a very similar fashion to what a lot of people call subliminal advertising, which was banned of course. It's different enough not to be called that.

Now if we could just use that method to program government instead of ad agencies programing people to become sheaple, we might be able to turn things around.

Scott, dude, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's the other way around. The government is programming YOU. (Please note the lack of a smiley face at the end of this post.). :-(

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?

I don't think this is necessarily a good test. From what I understand, sociopathy is more of a behavioral disorder and not necessarily an ability to make a brilliant deduction. But I'm not a shrink, so I can't be so sure.

Personally, I think it's far more insidious than the Government programing us. I believe it's the Military Industrial Corporate Congressional Complex. When you start looking around and realize how many people that used to be employed by Monstanto:

Prior to being the Supreme Court Judge who put GW Bush in office,Clarence Thomas was Monsanto's lawyer.

The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture (Anne Veneman) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto's Calgene Corporation.

The Secretary of Defense (Donald Rumsfeld) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto's Searle pharmaceuticals.

The U.S. Secretary of Health, Tommy Thompson, received $50,000 in donations from Monsanto during his winning campaign for Wisconsin's governor.

The two congressmen receiving the most donations from Monsanto during the last election were Larry Combest (Chairman of the House Agricultural Committee) and Attorney General John Ashcroft. (Source: Dairy Education Board)

Here is a more extensive list:

The Amazing Revolving Door - Monsanto, FDA And EPA

Point being, our politicians are not controlling us, but rather being controlled by corporate entities. And the problem with that, specifically, is that corporations are not morally obligated to do the right thing, not for you, not for me, not for humanity, the environment, the world, etc. They are only morally obligated to their stock holders, and only obligated to increase their profit margin every quarter.

Sure our government passes laws we don't like that take away rights we used to have, in fact anytime a law is passed we are not being given a right, we are having a freedom taken away. But it's really the multinational banking institutions and corporations that are really pulling the puppets strings of government public servants, they should really be called corporate servants.

I went back to college to finish up my degrees in Philosophy and Political Science, even though I only have a few more courses to finish up Poly Sci, I only completed Philosophy. I was so disgusted when I started really learning what our government was all about, that I didn't want to have a degree attached to my name that had anything to do with government. But even still, corporations and banking institutions are truly the real evil.
