I'm scared to take the test in case I don't like the answer.   ;D

Oh my, I would of chucked that "fat guy" over.  Logic would dictate, the needs of them many outweigh the needs of the few or the one. So the "fat guy" goes bye bye.

So it's determined that you are a psychopath.

I can understand that Nok is afraid of being found out. (But would a real hard-core psychopath care?)

You're right Bald Brick, I don't care. But what about all these people who keep looking over my shoulder. They hide every time I turn around.  :D

I run into psychopaths every year or two and it's always a jarring experience. They really seem to revel in  ripping people off beyond all else. The trick I've learned is never make the first transaction with someone new worth much. I believe that eliminates 90% of the problem.

Sure wouldn't stop any sophisticated psychopath in it for the long haul but those types are luckily rarer.

What a moron.

Psychopathy is much more complex than that  if you refer to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders you will see that psychopathy and antisocial personal disorder are not synonymous as he implies in his little question.

The guy is not so serious as his publications shows, check his books in "Flipnosis"  ???  and Split Second Persuation  ;D  http://www.flipnosis.co.uk/author.asp   http://splitsecondpersuasion.com/


This are the most accepted characteristics of Psychopathy.

The example he gives is usually used as an exercise in situational ethics, and is intended to start a discussion about the issues raised. The mere fact he thinks the answer is easy suggests he doesn't understand the issues, either emotionally or ethically. That lack of emotional/ethical understanding is rather worrying, given the subject of his talk!

Yes I am crazy and I admit it.  I've never been shy about it and by being open, it causes less confusion.  The only problem I see is how big is the fat guy, because I can't heft 600 lbs of person without help.

G'day there Andy (Waving)

I've heard a simpler kinda version of this, more related to a Maths problem.

Anyway, I believe the Psychopath would just sit and watch the Five people get run down by the train, yeah !   :D

According to what he said, I tend to try to take them all out! For instance,
#1-let the train hit the first 5, then go after the one on the other track and give him a send off..
#2, wait until the train hits the five, then throw the fat guy off.....hummm, I think I have a problem..heh heh heh.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
