The killer in me

Maybe you could... You scored 21% Cold and 46% Level-Headed!

In a pinch, you could do it, but you'd need a damn good reason to. And you're not going to be too happy afterward.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 14% on Cold You scored higher than 4% on Level-Headed

I got the same result, though I scored 18% Cold and 61% Level Headed.

Some of the questions don't seem all that discerning to me. The hardcore killer I see emerging from this test is a raving idiot who would attack a rhino with a chainsaw.

Ah yes, but Mr. Chainsaw Wielding Rhino Killer would be out of the gene pool right quick. :-)

[kristine-smith.livejournal.com]

He wouldn't be much fun to write about, either, unless as a comic aside.

I don't see a Day of the Jackal-type scoring as a killer after taking this test. But then, I may not understand that sort of mind as well as I think I do, which is probably a good thing.

A comic aside. Oh yes!

I never saw (or read?) Day of the Jackal.

Day of the Jackal was written by Frederick Forsyth. It's a thriller about a plot to assassinate Charles de Gaulle. "The Jackal" is the code name given to the assassin. In the movie (1973), the Jackal is played by Edward Fox. I think he did a very good job portraying a professional killer of the type who would not under any circumstances attack a rhino with a chain saw. Unless you paid him $$$, and even then, I think he'd figure out a way to throw someone else in front of the rhino.

Overall, I preferred the movie to the book. You do get a chance to get inside the Jackal's head in the book, but those glimpses don't make up for the pages and pages of exposition that slow down the story (imho). The movie moves, and has the advantage of being able to show in a very short scene what would require pages of description in a book. If you have a chance to rent it, you might give it a shot.

Yep. It seems to say far more about the quiz creator's concept of what a killer is than anything else.

Ah, thanks for the description. *blips over to Netflix to look it up*

"Unless you paid him $$$, and even then, I think he'd figure out a way to throw someone else in front of the rhino."

I would too. According to this quiz I'm cold like that. :-)

Make sure it's the Edward Fox/70s version, not the remake with Bruce Willis.

That's what I got, too...

I tend to think that this is the group most folks would fall into.

It's where I landed.

Another "Maybe you could." I'm exactly as level-headed as you, but slightly less cold (I'm 16% to your 21%).

[jennifer-dunne.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm an extremely level-headed fluffy bunny. :-)

5% cold, 53% level-headed.

Same overall answer, though.
