See If You Can Pass This Detective Test
Personality is what separates us from each other.
Some of us may be sociable and talkative while others are introspective and quiet.
While there is no ‘perfect’ personality, we can find out a lot more about ourselves
and others when we think from someone else’s perspective.
But regardless of who we are as a person, being vigilant and observant of our surroundings
is vital to our health and growth.
It helps us become more perceptive and understanding of people's’ actions, and can help us get
out of some pretty tricky situations.
Do you think you’re an observant person?
Do you read into every single situation you are in to try to determine or understand what
is going on around you?
Being observant and perceptive helps people constantly improve in their lives, as it teaches
them how to handle certain situations and look at the bigger picture.
It allows people to see things that other people don’t.
For example, observant people can usually tell who is trying to lie or manipulate them.
At the same time, it allows them to see things in certain situations that most probably wouldn’t.
It’s a great personality trait to have, but most people aren’t actually that perceptive.
They may think they are, when in all reality they’re not.
So by undergoing this fun ‘detective test’ we can find out just how observant you really
are.

Who Is The Mother?
In this picture, you can see two women sitting across from each other while a child is playing
between them.
Can you find out which of the women is the mother?
Take some time to think about this one.
The answer actually isn’t that difficult if you think about the body language a mother
might have towards her child.
Answer: If you guessed the woman on the LEFT then
are correct.
Mothers are more likely to face towards their child and the woman on the left’s body language
shows the viewers that her legs are pointed towards her child.
Furthermore, the posture of the woman on the left is that of protection and she is leaning
slightly forward to protect her child at any moment.
Also, look at the posture of the child: he is facing towards his mother which is a regular
thing that small children do since they want to get their parent’s attention while performing
or doing some sort of activity.
4.Two Men and Two Pils.
In this picture, two men are in front of a table with a glass and two pills.
One man is a serial killer and the other is innocent.
The serial killer lets the innocent man choose which pill he wants to ingest.
One is poisonous while the other is just a placebo.
. How is that possible?
Answer: The answer lies not in the pills themselves
but rather in the glass of water that is needed to gulp down the pill.
The innocent people always perish because it is the liquid that is poisoned and not
the pill.
The serial killer always lives because neither his drink nor the pill is poisoned while the
innocent man has a glass of poisonous substance to gulp down his placebo pill.
Pretty evil, but also pretty clever, don’t you think?

The Poisoned Drinks.
In this scenario, two women go to a restaurant to have dinner.
The woman orders five drinks with ice.
She immediately gulps down four of those drinks while the second woman drinks the last one.
Later on in the meal, the second woman becomes deathly ill and dies.
An autopsy shows that she was poisoned and that all the drinks at the dinner were poisoned.
How does the first woman live?
Answer: The woman survived because the poison was
in the ice.
Since she gulped down her drink immediately, the poison was not able to melt and get into
her beverage.
The woman who gulped down all her drinks fast left no time for the ice cubes to melt into
her drink.
This means that the poison in the ice did not enter her system because the ice cubes
were left in the cups!
The second woman who waited to drink got poisoned because the ice cube (which contained the
deadly substance) melted into her drink and then she ingested it.
Yikes!
2.
Tape Recorder.
A man is found dead at his home with a pistol in his hand and a tape recorder next to him.
When investigators go to turn on the recorder they hear: ‘I am tired of this life and
decided to stop my pain and suffering,’ and then the sound of a gunshot goes off.
When they hear the sound of the gunshot, the tape recorder immediately stops.
It is the end of the tape.
Why do the investigators treat this as a murder and not a suicide?
Answer: If this was truly a suicide then the tape
recorder would have continued recording since a dead man can’t turn off the recorder.
Furthermore, if the man had killed himself the tape recorder would have started at the
end and not the beginning.
Thus, a killer must have killed the man and rewound the tape to the beginning.
If you got this one, you must be pretty clever!
1.
The Christmas Mystery: A detective visited a man’s house on Christmas day and said:
‘your neighbor says that yesterday, on Christmas Eve, he came to your place for a party and
while he was here, you broke into his house and stole some valuable items.’
The man replies by saying: ‘that’s not true.
Our family celebrated Christmas Eve at our friend’s place.
We barely had time to decorate our Christmas tree.’
The detective immediately knew the neighbor was lying, how?
Answer: The lights on the Christmas tree are not only
unplugged but they are also missing a bulb that is essential to it turning on.
Noticing this detail, the detective can derive that the man’s family was indeed in a rush
to set up the Christmas tree and as a result was not lying.
Did you get any of these tricky questions right?
Okay, we will admit, some of the questions were actually pretty hard.
But if you took the time to think out each situation, you probably would have been able
to figure it out sooner or later.
If you’re the type of person to give up easily, or if you simply just can’t see
the bigger picture at times, then you probably aren’t that observant.
But if you got even a few of the questions on this detective test right, you are a probably
a very perceptive person.
This means that you look at every situation around you, weigh out the options, and are
never biased with the things you say.
If this sounds like you, kudos to you!
Being observant and self-aware is a sign that someone has a good natural human instinct,
making them a good leader and a trusted friend to have in your circle.
It is a great personality trait to have, and is probably what sets you apart from most
of the people you know.
