10/10, I am mildy disturbed with myself that I know by sight with seemingly equal weight both language creators and serial killers.
They say it takes one to know one. The question is if that refers to language inventors or murderers. I got 8/10 right, so I guess I had better come up with a programming language pretty soon. ;-)
My takeaway is both programmers and serial killers look like regular people (and have some unflattering photos). The bias that you can tell killers apart by what they look like is created by the media, who probably choose sinister-looking photos when reporting on murderers.

This means statistically that there likely is a difference.
I can't put my finger on what it was though, I just knew. Basically anybody who looked insane must be an inventor of a programming language and anyone who looked normal must've not invented a language and therefore must be a killer.
A similar game is Quant Fund or Metal Band: http://www.quantfundormetalband.com/ My score there was only slightly better than on Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer.
