Answer the following questions using 1-2 complete sentences:

1. What is the claim or purpose of the test? to test if some one thinks criminally or like a homicidal individual.

2. What other explanations are there for getting the "correct" answer? it proves that you have an abnormal way of thinking that you might have a skewed view of things

3. Even if the claim is true that almost all serial killers had the "correct" answer does that mean that people in the general public with the "correct" answer are psychopaths? Explain why or why not. no not at all it just means that some one process and event or a serise of events different that another or the general population and i has nothing to do with someone being or not being a psychopath or not it is just a different way of thinking

4. Give at least two other reasons that explain why this is a bad or good psychological test. it is a good test because it shows that not everyone thinks the same way as someone else and it can tell things about someones personallity and wheather or not they may or may not kill some on well okay not really but it helps gather some insite on the human mind and social behavior and interation with one another

5. All things considered, can we use this test to predict who is or will be a killer and prevent murder from happening? Explain your answer. no absolutly not because if we locked everyone up that answered this question correctly and i use that term lightly that we would have to lock up alot of people due to the fact that some people that think with a criminal mind again using that term lightly and in the generalized sense not in a literal way that most people with that way of thinking are actually brilliant and they have been know to be leaders of corperations and large groups of pople for their ability to problem solve and come up with answers to complex problem that most owuldnt know how to answer or even know where to start
