Today I did a test on psychopaths and although
I have not reached the highest score says it
belongs to the "psychopaths" being a parasite
on the people or a person who does not want
to work ! !! !! !! !

It appears that the term psychopath
is mixed with the free thinkers like myself
with bad people so that people like me look too evil!

Maybe it is a mechanism for society to be shy
and peaceful, but at the cost of restricting the free will.

I believe there was a scientist who challenged "healthy" people to walk into an asylum and point out who was mad and who wasn't, and they couldn't do it. Heh.

What test was it? Some online tests are utter bollocks.

That "test" could have been written by a 14-year-old kid using an online editor. They're almost always not done by a professional.

Psychopath and sociopath are commonly overused terminologies.

I'm pretty sure I'm a psychopath, I asked my psych and he gave me a "test" asking maybe 10 questions on wether I harmed animals. I asked for psychopath not serial killer.
