It’s a slow news day, so when I was sent a press release urging me to find out if I have "the killer instinct" by taking a series of four inkblot tests at DexterTherapy.com, I bit. Turns out, I am "completely normal." (My colleague Tanner Stransky, however, not so much. Perhaps it’s because he said he found the final inkblot "arousing?")
Take the test yourself, and report your results below. I’ve read enough of your comments over the years to make some guesses…
P.S. Dexter: The Complete Second Season hits DVD today. The show, starring Emmy nominee Michael C. Hall (pictured), returns Sept. 28 to Showtime with season 3.








Ooh, I’m “trying [my] very hardest to cover up deep rooted psychotic tendencies” – awesome!
My “killer instinct” was 41% …. I have no idea whether that is good or bad!!!
Yeah, I took it. I was 0%. Regarding the 4th question, how is a gremlin trapped in a vase supposed to be arousing?
My killer instict was 0%. I guess it’s all fuzzy bunnies and kittens for me. *blah*
68%! I think it is because one of them looked like a demon to me (i watch a lot of sci fi). It told me I’m a fledgling bunny boiler.
My killer instinct is 22%, which sounds pretty low, right? But my diagnosis states that I am “trying very hard to cover up some deep rooted psychotic tendencies.” And I “can’t fool everyone forever.” Does that mean I’m dangerous??
I got 29%. Must be an off day (It would have been hight on Friday).
41% “a sure sign of a deranged mind” Actually lower than I thought it would be. Must be having a good day.
25%! What? I thought I was way crazier than that!!
42% – deranged mind. Hmm…
Um…. I scored a 100%, no joke. I think that I’m going to call my mom’s therapist this afternoon….
Got a 54 the first time. Did better the second time. I scored a 42 and it told me I have an unhealthy obsession with taking ink blot tests on the internet. Hee!
57% – “Your responses indicate that although you don’t have much of a killer instinct, you wouldn’t think twice about pushing over an old lady just to see the look on her face.”
So a nice healthy amount of crazy, I figured as much.
45%?!? Seems high for the answers I put! Don’t spill my drink or I could get very nasty.
I’m with you, Jeanne – same score, same “analysis.” And since my family and friends always announce how many points the car’s driver would earn for hitting pedestrians based on their age and assumed agility, I think that was just about right.
