Not sure what my instincts got to do with it? But anyway, I need to think about it myself for a bit. Also, it's more fun reading others' responses.
...and would only kill people that make the world a worse place to live in.
Some experts say that serial killers are so pathetically alike that it's almost boring; there's a pathological pattern, they cannot form intimacy with real living people, so the killing experience is like...intimacy for them. A really sociopathic narcissistic self-absorbed psychotic intimacy, because they feel a sense of power over and therefore "connection" with their victims, and that's why there are often lingering sexual implications with things like corpses being raped, or keeping body parts, or making women's clothing out of the skin, and so forth.
Of course there are variations, but they're really tortured lonely people, who apparently feel less alone by murdering people. That's all the sense I can make out of it.
I'm very certain of my stacking.Hmm.. I read some stuff here regarding instincts and you popped up from time to time. I was under the impression that you were still entertaining other possible stackings and so made a reference. Mah bad. Carry on.
Perhaps but I also think the preferences would show. I can imagine a 2 becoming a stalker and an abductor, a 3 something like Patrick Bateman, a 4 like Buffalo Bill. Methods still differ in relation to their pathology.Some experts say that serial killers are so pathetically alike that it's almost boring; there's a pathological pattern, they cannot form intimacy with real living people, so the killing experience is like...intimacy for them.

I think the question should be more like "what kind of killer would you be."
I think I would trick people into a psychological experiment where the goal was to find the answer of what makes humans human by having them going through mental breakdowns with the help hallucinogenic drugs which eventually ended up with them committing suicide.
I see this being related to 5 because of the clearly schizoid tendencies where I do not see myself as a part of humanity but merely an alien species I'm trying to figure out.
