A diagnosed narcissist has revealed the disturbing riddle question which could possibly determine if you are a psychopath or not.
Watch below:
Jacob Skidmore - known online as The Nameless Narcissist - has been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and he makes content around 'destigmatizing NPD and other personality disorders'.

NPD is defined as a mental illness and is generally associated with a 'pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration and lack of empathy', according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V).
Taking to his Instagram account (@the.nameless.narcissist), Jacob revealed the disturbing riddle question which could determine if you are a psychopath.
The riddle is about a woman who falls in love with a complete stranger at her mother's funeral.
"So allegedly, if you can answer this riddle correctly, then it is a major sign that you're a psychopath. Now, keep in mind, there's no research to validate this. So if you do get it right don't get all in a panic," he explains.
"However, that being said, the only people in my life who were accurately able to answer was me, a diagnosed narcissist, and my sister who is diagnosed with ASPD aka sociopathy. So take that as you will.
"So when she goes to her mother's funeral, she meets a guy there that she's never met before, and they really hit it off, like this woman is thinking, 'oh my gosh, just might be my soulmate'.
"But she doesn't realise until the funeral is over that she forgot his name, forgot his number.
"She has no idea who this guy is, and whoever she asks, they don't know either.
"And she's, relatively speaking, upset that she's not gonna be able to see this guy again."
Explaining the riddle, Jacob said: "Next week, she murdered her sister. So the riddle is, 'why did she do it? Why she murdered her sister?'
"If you have an idea about this, and you aren't sure if you're right or not, it's not right. Because as soon as you know what it is, you're like, Oh, yeah."
"Now the answer is because if she murders her sister, given that the sister and mother were related, there's a good probability that that man will also show up to the funeral," he continued.
"The funeral of the sister that is, for me, the answer was like, pretty, it took me like two seconds."
"That being said, if there's anyone out there that does know a psychopath, or somebody that they strongly suspect to be one, please ask them this question without telling them why." Jacob added.
"And then tell me what they say because I'm really curious."
Of course, answering a riddle correctly isn't indicative of a diagnosis - only a medical professional can do that.
So take this riddle with a pinch of salt.
