"Can You Solve the Riddle that Exposes Psychopathy?"

A diagnosed narcissist on TikTok shared a riddle that he claims can determine if someone is a psychopath. The riddle involves a woman meeting a man at her mother's funeral and later murdering her sister. The answer, according to the narcissist, is that she killed her sister in hopes that the man would attend her funeral. While the riddle is more of a thought experiment than a clinical tool, it sparked discussions about empathy and psychopathy. Psychopathy is not a diagnostic category in the DSM, but is often associated with low empathy, grandiosity, impulsivity, and aggressive behavior. The understanding of psychopathy is still limited, and there are social stigmas and underfunding surrounding the topic.
