proposing the host-soul test

I propose a new test, to run along side the 'did that person torture small animals as a child' question when potential serial killers are looked at?

What do you do when you enter a hostel room at 2 a.m. with the lights out and people are sleeping? (And I don't care what state of sobriety you are in)

Normal person: Tip-toe in as quietly as possible, making as little noise as you can, to try not to awake or disrupt fellow travellers.

Compassionless could-be serial killers: Turn lights on, complain that it stinks in the room and turn on the A/C, walk around in high-heel shoes and start packing. (Extra Ted Bundy points if the person has the audacity to bitch that others could be annoyed by their actions.)

(Note: I write because this happened last night.)

I believe this test would be just as helpful as any other in targetting pyschopaths because it demonstrates a person's complete lack of thought for others.

I feel better.
