Personality test

No. Too early. Adolf took a long while to mature into a fully fledged psychopath. There is plenty of time to see if history would repeat. Also, if today's age would let him mature into the same person. The world is a much smaller place now, people are much more well informed in 2013 than in 1935. The technology is a whole lot better too.

I guess that beggars the question "What about Mugabe, Koni or any other flavour of third world dictator; why have they survived that theory?"

Good question I guess, in a general consensus position from the world, people cared more about Jews than Africans.

You make some good points, the question is used by psychiatrists and psychologists when they are assessing people for psychopathy. I think the basis is that baby will definitely grown up to do all the things Hitler did so do you stop him? but the dilemma is basically “could you smother and kill a young sleeping, and let's face it innocent, baby if it would stop the Holocaust from happening?”

I don't think I could smother and kill a sleeping baby even though the thought of stopping the Holocaust would perhaps tempt me for a few seconds. Ultimately my empathy for the baby wouldn't allow me to smother and slowly kill it, I mean imagine if it wakes up and starts to struggle and cry as you are snmothering it? Oh God! I can't go through with it, my conscience wouldn't allow me to go through with it.

People with true psycopathic tendencies tend to immediately say they would kill the baby straight away with little or no qualms about it. Some people might think immediately killing the baby is the correct or brave thing to do when in actuality it may indicate you are a psychopath. When I had a nervous breakdown I was put on strong drugs to combat the symptoms and for the period of weeks I was on them I had an insight into what it feels like to be a psychopath. Lacking in empathy, cold and calculated thought patterns, callousness and complete fearlessness. When I was taken off them “me” came back and I have normal thought patterns again. But there's a part of me that that will always have a little bit of that coldness and detachment its part of me now.
