Well let's see, by my rough count I've got; 9 Not Psycho, 7 Yes, and 4 that pleaded the 5TH.
djolney, says that 2% of the male population is a Psycho. I had a feeling we would be slightly higher here on BFC, but 30%.
I've also noticed that most of the card carrying maniacs haven't checked in yet. My guess is there waiting for their meds to mellow.
Folks I'd be real selective with those Negative Rep Points....hehehehehe

Well I got it right. Its the only reason that has anything to do with the guy she met. Inheritiance would be related to the mother's funeral, but then why mention all that about her dream guy?
And lest anyone think this is a real test: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/sister.htm

Leave it to Snopes...
I agree that the inheritance angle strikes me as more nefarious.
(Does Bastid know?)

I thought:" She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral. But wait, we are talking about Psycho's so that answer is too easy. Hmmm.. I know, her sister must have hooked up with the guy and killed her in jealousy..."
By introducing this as a psycho test, it put some of the more open minded of us in the mindset of "What would a psycho do?"
Remember how many times in the past someone would ask:
"What $100 fixed blade should I buy?"
And people would answer
"SEBENZA!"
That is because some people tend to answer questions from their "own" view point, not the "other" person's view point.
This is the reverse case. We answered from the "other" viewpoint not our "own."
Of course people are going to answer with the psycho answer. We were trying to think what a psycho would do. (Just like the cast of CSI
)

The links provided by Johnniet are very interesting. The analysis of Eric Harris is thought-provoking.
Part 1: Hatred was really disgust (inferiority).
I'm certainly not a professional at studying personalities, but I just can't help but wonder how many "normal" teens express similar sentiments. I just wonder if Fuselier arrived at his conclusion because of the kinds of expressions, included in the article, in isolation or because of the expressions in combination with the other analyses. If it is in isolation, which I suspect it is, then I just don't see it. It just seems to me that many teenagers write similar commentary in order to deflect their own insecurities not necessarily superiority.
Part 2: He lied for pleasure- I can appreciate the distinction that Fuselier made between lying to protect onesself versus lying for the thrill of deceit. I don't believe that I would have realized that subtle difference if I had read his ramblings on my own.
Part 3: Lack of remorse or empathy. Is it really unusual for a person in a diversionary program to lie to the extent that he or she expresses empathy in a letter to the victim? This analysis seems to be an offset of Part 2, ie, that he enjoyed deceiving people. He was good at it.
I'm really more impressed by the plotting and sheer size of their plan. I think that's more indicative of a psychopathic personality... I agree with their viewpoint that Columbine wasn't committed as a vendetta but as means to attain "infamy on a historical scale." The article was an interesting read. It's a shame that most people will remember this as a response to school bullying.
By the way, you guys are a bunch of scary psychopaths just waiting to explode...
