Geek or killer?

Can you tell the difference between computer nerds and mass murderers? (I got a pathetic 3/10)

I got 9/10, partly because I recognized a couple of the killers. I’m not sure what this says about me, other than that I’m old.

I got 8 out of 10. However I bet those other two woulda been serial killers if their mothers had let them out of the house. :smiley:

I got a 3/10. Hell, I got Son of Sam wrong.

I got 6 out of 10, but Son of Sam was the only one I actually knew and didn’t guess on.

8/10, on the hypothesis that programmers, especially if the picture looked a bit older, would appear more business-like & successful in their dress, although geeky looking by face, and that psychopaths would appear more poor, looser-like, based on the tendancy of psychopaths not to be able to hold a job for very long due to poor impulse control.

Scary how some of the serial killers had real baby-faces, though, esp. Son of Sam…

9/10 I don’t know why

I got 10/10! :eek:

I don’t really know why, either – I do watch a lot of those true crime shows, but the only one I actually recognized was Son of Sam.

I managed 8/10 - should make me safe from roving cannibal hoards (except those in Doom3)

Damn, I only saw the actor who portrayed Chikatilo and got him wrong but at that I only pegged David Berkowitz and got 5/10.

9/10. We can smell our own.

Geeks, that is. Geeks can smell our own.

Wait a minute…

Randy Kraft is both a computer nerd AND a serial killer!

I got a 7/10

10/10

Recognised half the killers, and a couple of the programmers. The rest I was just THAT good at identifying ‘the look’ for the two groups.

6/10

The test was wrong.

Obviously some of the programmers had aspirations of being killers (especially those who were forced to do customer support).

3/10

I blame this on the fact that it is 1.35am. And also, I may have had a drink or 10.

9 out of 10.

Hmmm.

A couple of those guys resembled my ex husbands. No, neither of my ex’s were programmers. I think it’s time for a cigarette break - I’m starting to get scared.

9/10

Based on “if he doesn’t look like a serial killer, he probably isn’t.”

Yo, swampy! I knew you wouldn’t regret appointing me the official SDMB discerner of psychos amongst potential suitors!

7/10. And I only knew for sure that the Son of Sam killer was really a killer.

8/10. Just guessing, although a couple of them did look pretty creepy.

Of course, they were programmers, so that makes sense. :smiley:

8/10…
