What is your Serial Killer quotient?

This survey is based on the short quiz at http://www.editionnine.deathrowbook.com/sertest.htm.
It does not require that you give an email address or any personal information or identification.

The quiz compares your answers to some basic questions, against the profiles of known serial killers. All questions are yes/no-- you may find yourself hedging on some of them, but, not to worry, it's just for fun.




VotesAnswer
7SCORE 1 - 5: You can relax. More importantly, your family, friends and co-workers can relax. If possible, thank your parents every chance you get.
33SCORES 6 - 10: Not to worry -- you're not a threat to society. Although a few quirks in your personality may present some challenges in life, those same idiosyncrasies may very well explain the reason your name continues to appear on "A" party lists.
21SCORES 11 - 15: We're not going to label you borderline, but the Death Row staff would sleep better at night knowing the word "psychotherapy" is part of your vocabulary.
9SCORES 16 - 20: Not to upset your day -- but we're concerned. It might just be sheer coincidence or simply one of life's naughty little pranks that has placed you in the same profile category as Ted Bundy, Albert DeSalvo and Jeffrey Dahlmer.

7 - I can't see that this test could have any real sort of corelation though.
I lost points because:
!) I'm caucasion (Hmm.. who wrote this?)
2) I daydream (I'd worry about those who don't)
3) I'm alone (Beware of monks)
4) I'm conceited (Well, I figured a smile counted for something)
5) I'm still conceited? (Perhaps people with genius IQ's are...)
6) Pyromaniacs! (Junior mad scientists at work)
7) Destructive (You work for someone that has you do 60 hour work days for oatmeal and see if you don't snap and smash your camera against a wall)

I think the test was based on statistics. Serial killers statistically are white, male, above average IQ, and would have answered in such a way to get a 20. You lost points every time you checked an answer in common with serial killers of the past.

Serial Killers of the future will honestly score 20's perhaps. I remember when the first Bat Man movie came out. It was fine when I rewatched it in a mundane state, but I was in heightened sensitivity the first time; Historical cultural footprints have had their own boogie men. The victorian stereotype of sinister has faded. The Joker unfortunately marked the public release of a new form evil more suited to modern society's collective subconscious. It was a mix of socio-psychopathy blended with what otherwise would have been hebuphrenic schizophrenia and just plain sinister malicious evil.
I calculated about 8000 cockroach kills last week. Serial Killer occurred to me.

I scored "11" which is just barely inside the "borderline". One thing they don't factor into this quiz is "nationality". Although it is true that most serial killers are white males, what is more true is that they are white male Americans. The phenomenon of serial killers is relatively rare outside of the continental US.

That's interesting. It seems like Canada and the US are so culturally similar, so why the difference? I wonder if it's just because we have a much larger population.

The Brits have produced a few memorable ones: from the prototypical Jack the Ripper to the ultra-efficient Harold Shipman. I don't think they're a uniquely American phenomenon.

 * laughing out loud * Very funny! You do have a point. Bundy didn't kill women he knew, but kept killing his ex-girlfriend by proxy. No one is safe, you might fit the type some serial killer is after. Do you know the FBI estimates that currently there are 90-100 active serial killers in the U.S.?

Technically, war criminals are considered mass murderers, which are NOT the same as serial killers.

That would explain why there are more overall, but it doesn't explain why there are significantly more per capita. I think it is a cultural thing. Americans are just more prone to use violence to solve their problems. Just look at the history:

19th century US - The Wild West
19th century Canada - Royal Canadian Mounted Police

It depends on the killer. The Green River Killer targeted women he thought were prostitutes, but some of him victims weren't, they just were in the wrong place at the wrong time. One was a waitress who was walking home from work. Gacy killed young men, the Red Ripper killed adults & children, mostly near a railway station, he would lure them into the nearby woods. Bundy of course, kept killing his ex-girlfriend over & over, but his last victim was a 12 year old girl.

(reply to mandy) posted 13-Aug-2001 11:57am  
You ain't cool. Most of the killers I read about prefer strangling & knifing. Guns are passe. Besides, you guys in Washington just finished convicting Robert Yates (Spokane). Give the cops a breather! On the other hand, the U.S. is sadly lacking in female serial killers, the last was Aileen Woumos. So, you go girl (but stay away from me)! Maybe Ann Rule will write a book about you.

Since I've met Anne Rule, do you think she'll call it "The Stranger at the Book Signing"?

She's a delightful woman and a good speaker. She autographed Mallory's copy of A Stranger Beside Me and told her to read it cover to cover and be very careful of men who try to lure you away etc....I thought that was nice of her.

There is a theory that Ted's first victim was actually a nine year old neighbor girl. He would have been 14 when she disappeared. Isn't his story fascinating?

Mark Fuhrman(sp?) has been in the papers a lot here. He has been critiquing the police's role in the Yates case.

Lucky you, meeting Ann Rule. I would love to meet her. I already know about Fuhrman criticizing the Spokane police. He just wrote a book about Robert Yates, the serial killer & he feels that the Spokane police relied more on computers, than old-fashioned police detective footwork.
