TikTok user Raphael Antoine, who runs the account riddleswithraffy, shared a riddle that can determine if you’re a psychopath.
Setting the scene, the TikToker said: “Close your eyes and imagine that you are walking through a dark and creepy forest late at night.”
“Your heart is pounding and you hear strange sounds around you,” he continued.
“Suddenly, you hear and feel a breath behind you and immediately turn around in terror. What do you see?” Raphael asked the viewers about him.
The TikTok user listed the possible answers: a wild animal, a pale person of the opposite sex, a shadowy figure, a dog, a giant insect, or nothing.
“If you saw the dog…we need to talk,” Raphael said in the comments section.
This answer was further explained in a Quora post, where users detailed why seeing a dog can mean you’re a psychopath.
“Most neurotypicals, imagining walking alone in the woods at night, might start to worry and think about all the bad things that could happen. Fear is present in the mind,” wrote one user.
They continued, “Psychopaths don’t feel fear. So when I heard this scenario, I guess their thought pattern would be different.”
Another person added: “A psychopath would probably lean more on the dog’s side, because fear might not be on their list of emotions.”
“Also, an inflated view of themselves and their size would likely lead them to assume that the dog is following them because they are very interesting or powerful,” they suggested.
On the other hand, rational fears like a stranger in the woods or a potentially dangerous wild animal are considered normal, as is the rationalization that it can’t be anything.
