I stopped at eight before I starting scaring myself.

11/12; but I'd be interested to find out how many non-serial killer males share.

1,3,4,7,13 seem reasonably normal to most men I know.

 

[Donbett1974]

All but 10,12,14. So i guess I need to get to killing to make up for not.

 

[Shurikens and Lightning]

Oh dear I fit with every one except for number 3.

EVEN THE FETISH ONE!?!?!?!?!?

 

[traceur_]

1 & 2, yay I'm not a serial killer.

 

[JWAN]

I had 6 on the nose

1. I own lots of bludgeoning weapons
2. Like to watch people cruelly die (especially that one girl in every horror movie that usually just stands their and screams her ass off like it's gonna make the guys brain explode like in condemned 2)EDIT: I meant in movies I've actually got a pretty weak stomach when it comes to real blood...
3. I've had a horrible childhood
4. I've got no social skills
5. and I like holloween masks...

 

[PirateKing]

Well I'm a white male and I'm smart. Nothing other than that though. Compared to serial killers, I've had a pretty good life.
I hope whoever picked 14 is joking.

Serial killers tend to share the following general characteristics:

1. The majority are single, white males. Nope!
2. They are often intelligent, with IQs in the "bright normal" range. Yep!
3. Despite their high IQs, they do poorly in school, have trouble holding down jobs, and often work menial jobs. Not really!
4. They tend to come from unstable families. Depends on the definition of unstable.
5. As children, they are typically abandoned by their fathers and raised by domineering mothers. Sort of!
6. Their families often have criminal, psychiatric and alcoholic histories.HAHAHA YES
7. They often are mistrustful of their parents. Not really!
8. It is common to find that as children, they were abused?psychologically, physically and/or sexually?by a family member.Eh. Neglect isn't all that bad. So a no.
9. Many spend time in institutions as children and have records of early psychiatric problems. Dodging the bullet here!
10. They have high rates of suicide attempts.No comment!
11. From an early age, many are intensely interested in voyeurism, fetishism, and sadomasochistic pornography....Goddammit it. Me to a tee.
12. More than 60 percent wet their beds beyond the age of 12. Not at all!
13. Many are fascinated with fire starting. I like fire, I don't like to burn things.
14. They are involved in sadistic activity or torturing small animals. Nope! I am a friend to all non delicious creatures.

Three yes' and a few maybes! Luckily I am a non violent pacifist who loves people otherwise I'd be a serial killer!

Recently in my forensics class, my teacher handed out a sheet that had listed the most common characteristics of a serial killer. Everyone in class read it over and saw how much they had in common with a serial killer. I had the most in common out of the entire class.

9. Many spend time in institutions as children and have records of early psychiatric problems.

Explains a few things. But i've been pretty sure about this for awhile.

 

[Captainguy42]

2 and 13
I think it's interesting that most people tend to share #2. or people on

 

[TaborMallory]

Six for me. Not telling which.

 

[JenXXXJen]

2,3,4,13

I remember doing this hand-writing thingy once, and apparantly only 5% of the normal population have the type of hand-writing I have, while 75% (something like that) of people in prison have it. I feel special.

I assume if you are talking about 75% of inmates having the same hand-writing as yours then your hand-writing must be about advanced as being able to hold a pen and mark a X where you name goes?

Spoiler

Nah, something to do with slanting and it being random or something.

 

[Thanatos34]
