How to spot psychopaths: Speech patterns give them away
They talk about how psychopaths use uhs and ums as a way to make themselves look "more sane" and tend to talk more in the past tense than nonpsychopathic murderers do. Then they talk about using computer programs to analyze the data, and possibly start scanning social media websites; I think we all know where this is going.
If I disappear for a while, don't worry guys I'm being interrogated by the government.
No... but seriously, it seems to me like this has a chance to hit with a lot of false positives. For one, most people talk differently in person than on the computer/over the internet(less uhs and ums; usually, and some people adopt a whole new character for internet communication). For two, what are they planning on doing with these results?
Hmm...I agree, there could be a lot of false positives coming out of this situation.
