Wow, I ended up doing a lot better than I thought. And I didn’t use any reference material at all! Thumbs up!
But I was hoping I’d rate a Brady or Sutcliffe. 😛

You Are A Sick Puppy

I do actually have several books and compendiums about serial killers currently gathering dust on my shelves — maybe it’s time to crack those spines again, for old-times’ sake. Ha, a pun!

    You Are Pretty Interested In Serial Killers But Unfortunately You Get Most Of your Facts From The History Channel,But Than Again You Are Just Sick Enough To Enjoy The Show.

    I scored Albert Fish also. And I’m not that into serial killers really. What does that say about my guessing skillz?

    I don’t know my score. I gave up after page one in frustration and disinterest.

    You need to bone up on your serial killer studies! Ha, a pun!

    Perhaps your mad guessing skillz are Mentat-like!

    zs –
    I guess ol’ Carl Panzram is the middle-rated SK.. I’ve seen quite a few people get him. Which is a weird rating system, cos Carl killed a lot of people — certainly more than Albert Fish did. Albert was just your standard shit-eating, pins-in-his-urethra freak.
    And I agree, the test-maker should’ve had the correct answers someplace..

    Upon reflection, I think that test is dodgily assembled. I’ve seen people on Penda’s Backroom have low scores, but receive crazy percentiles on ‘Killpoints’. And I remember three of the questions were jokey ones, so it’s a bit skewed. I will say that a good portion of the questions had me stumped for a minute or two, though..

    I did mention my disinterest, did I not?
    No boning, unless we’re using the more contemporary colloquialism involving sexual intercourse..
