like a Bat Out of Hell

This is easily one of the top 10 albums of all time, but I found this hilarious tidbit in an article recently. The person speaking is Meat Loaf.

"These two professors who are head of their departments at these Ivy League university in the States did this psychological test in the US Medical Journal to determine the subject's state of mind," he claimed.

"They've started to use the "Bat..." album as a sort of Rorschard test. Basically the bottom line is this: if you don't like "Bat Out Of Hell", then you have a problem. Now psychologist and psychiatrists all over America are giving it to their patients having them listen to it and then come back. Now they say that if you know anybody and they don't like "Bat Out Of Hell", you'd better be careful - they could snap at any moment. It's a medical fact now, and I see it as my redemption."

Yeah, it's apocryphal, and quite probably bullshit. But that's just funny to think about.

Read this question, come up with an answer, and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads:

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be just that! She fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister? (Give this some thought before you answer) Then scroll down to see the answer.

Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at her sister's funeral, too.




If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath.




This was a test devised by a famous American psychologist used to test if
one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took
part in the test and answered the question correctly.

I said that she killed her sister so she could have ALL the insurance money/inheritance of her mom's estate to herself, thereby making her a more attractive "catch," and so maybe the guy would track HER down.

It's not the "psychopath" answer, but it's a little too close for comfort.

Of course, I'm exhausted and can't sleep. That's a good excuse. yeah. That's the ticket.

That's been debunked, of course, but it's fun to figure out.
