As for my own score....

"This individual received a score of 43 out of a possible 174 points

This score places this individual in the 9th percentile on the TriPM. In other words, this individual’s score is higher than 9% of other people of the same age and gender.

The Boldness Subscore is 1

The Disinhibition Subscore is 19

The Meanness Subscore is 23"

I’ve been busy so I have not been on here or replying much.

What I am going to say is that if anyone does get a higher score, don’t worry too much about it.

This is a self assessment, and unless you have major legal/personal issues related to this pursuing a diagnosis would not be that wise due to the stigma of this condition.

Basically how I deal with this is I have my lines I do not cross. Period.

I just looked up PDA, it’s a purposed sub-category of ASD.

It’s not a thing yet per say.

If this applies to me, it’s hard to say because I do care about very few people.

But for the most part, in general do I care about others? Mostly no.

I do want society to function well because it’s better for me if it does, so I care to that extent about other people in that way.

But again, it’s hard for me to say.

Edit: I did some more research and I don’t avoid everyday ordinary tasks due to anxiety…so I do not think this is me.

Even if something would be difficult, say signing up for social assistance bc of financial difficulties (due to COVID and other things) I still do it to the best of my ability.

I think the test is useless lol.

real psychos and narcs probably score like saints compared to us.

^^^you mean like satan?

Keep in mind that you could say this about any psych test.

And if someone who is able to (i.e. an adult) really wants to throw a test in a certain direction they can.

I was honest about my answers. And I think the test is somewhat accurate.

Note: A psychological condition does not determine if you are abusive or not. Even autistic people can choose to be abusive.

Review Results
LOW
The percentile score above suggests low levels of psychopathic traits. A person with this score does not show elevated psychopathy compared to others of their age and gender.

People with low scores on this screening test show typical levels of compassion, prosocial behavior, and honesty. They are not at high risk for engaging in behaviors like manipulating, exploiting, bullying, or harming others.

why do some here, with mostly close scores, get a "watch out or else you'll backslide into sociopathy" whereas others get a "low risk" statement at the end?

What do you define as a close score?

And tbh, I would maybe google the test if you have questions about it.

It’s the TriPM.

i'm not so articulate these days i meant people who scored in the low end of the range, below about 40. some of them said "low risk" at the end, while some gave a warning.

Different ages/genders get different warnings for different scores.

yes, but I would expect sociopath/psychos and narcs to scew the results with dishonesty more than any other disorder they can think up.

I failed the test .

Maybe some of us are so old that the actuarial tables say we probably won't live long enough to backslide?!
