Are you a psychopath?

This is an actual test devised by an American psychologist, aimed at discovering whether an arrested murder suspect is a psychopath. The subject is asked a simple question, and there is only one correct answer if they have psychopathic tendencies.

For a bit of amusement, I thought I'd post the question here for you to ponder, and reply with what you think might be the answer. I'll leave it for a week or so before telling you what the correct answer is, and whether you're a psychopath or not (cheeky grin). So far, no-one I know has come up with the correct response.

But there's always a first time ...

A woman, while at the funeral of her mother, meets a man whom she has never met before.

She thinks this man is amazing. She starts to believe that this is the man of her dreams; so much so that she falls in love with him right there and then. However, she forgets to ask the man for his phone number, and after the funeral cannot find him.

A few days later she kills her sister.

What is the woman's motive for killing her sister?

Looking forward to your responses.

Um....did she find out her sister was the mystery guy's lover?

He came with her sister and the sister wouldn't give her his phone number? Of course, if she kills her sister she will then never-ever get the number. But then,this might not occur to some psychopaths. They only recognise being thwarted?!?
