Today I was fortunate enough to have brunch with a good friend of mine, the fortune arising from her ability to invoke a great conversation.
Tangent upon tangent came and went, until finally the topic got onto psychology; more specifically, psychopathy.
In the 50's, there was a riddle for determining whether someone shared the same train of thought as a criminal. Unsurprisingly, it was famously referred to as a 'psychopath test'.
The riddle can be found here.
Fun Fact: I answered this correctly within about 2-3 seconds of hearing it. Fun indeed!
Whatever the case, such tests have evolved over time and now require specific social behaviour or omissions.
Today's quota is an article called 'The Psychopath Makeover' from October's Chronicle Review.
It tells the story of a journalist who underwent a series of drug and neurological tests to give him a temporary 'psychopathic makeover'. He reviews his experience.
