psychopathy test

Post Reply New Topic

I had a few sociopathic traits as a pree-teen, but after that, I developed a rather rigid conscience. And I have tried to stay true to that, so I think I will pass on this test.
Most of my stuff was "acting out" because of frustration/stress/emotional abuse anyway..

Before posting my score, I'll admit that I think of myself as having some psychopathic tendencies.
Some of the questions definitely felt like me, or how others have described me. The only part that isn't me at all is the part about sex or marriage, as I have no experience with those.

My total score was 22. "has criminal tendencies".
Basically, that is true. I have committed non-violent or lightly-violent crimes (fights) a few times, but I was too young for people to take me seriously.

7, but wouldn't a psychopath lie anyway

13. Honestly, I was expecting a higher score. I displayed a lot of psycopathic traits wgen I was a kid...

5.

I scored about 8 but that was with being harsh on myself - I'd say I'm a very conscientious person but i do seem to attract the sociopathic/narcissistic type of person which leads me to think I am responding to something I have in a lesser form in me.

In my opinion these psychopathy tests are always skewed towards criminal behaviour, which if a person was brought up in a loving family, as person is far less likely to have - there's innate bias as most of the psychopaths they've studied have been found in prison.

I think there's a multidue of varieties of psychopathic/sociopathic type behaviour that never comes to the attention of the law either becasue it's a lot milder/more socially acceptable. Most people have 'friends' who take advantage - they don't usually try and determien the extent to which the friend has no conscience. I've also noticed that no matter how abusive these types are they will always have mroe friends than me! lol

I also think that there's some kind of crossover of the psychopathy spectrum with the autistic one.

I feel guilty if I upset someone but sometimes if try to imagine how I'd feel if I killed someone I really hate I feel nothing, as if I'd have no problem doing it at all - that's not right!
I have the grandiose thoughts of being 'better' becasue in may ways I am! - why should i deny it to be falsely modest?? It certainly doesn't do me any good being 'better' as most people want people liek themselves. I can sometimes say things in order to achieve other things so that can be seen as manipulative but only mildly as it's often a sgggestion as opposed to tryign to force anyone to do anything so generally I have little or no influence on others and am no expert at it. I could possibly get better at it if I studided human behaviour more but I can't be bothered and I generally don't like to be unpleasant/scheming.

So my Asperger's diagnosis is useless in my opinon as I'm not a totally naive aspie incapable of manipulating at all, I'm half and half. I don't like lying but couldn't that be the aspieness tempering the psychopathy side ie I dont like to lie as it's breaking the rules and I don't like breaking rules; not because it's inherently wrong. Also if your family bring you up not to lie it's like a form of 'no lying' brainwashing in my opinon.

I know for a fact I'm not like most aspies as most are not on my wavelength at all - so what am I?? or is it that aspies on discussion forums are more NT by default as they have sought out social contact?

I scored a one on number 13. I don't think that is my fault tho. I just lose my jobs cos of my co-workers.

Don't they say many business executives and politicians are psychopaths?
It would make sense, with their ability to speak, be confident about their own lies and their overall lack of a conscience.

Hopefully, I'll get to be a politician.

Trying very hard to be as heartless and cruel as I could be, I scored 4 - mainly for my mild ADHD-like qualities.

I may not understand other people, but I don't want to hurt them. I am emotionally clumsy rather than callous. I am more likely to turn people off than manipulate them to my will.

I guess crime is not a suitable career for me after all (crosses that off list).

I got 4

11. As people have been saying though, it's hard to be objective regarding yourself. I thought I'd go tough on myself and tried to take most q's as literally as possible.

Training is necessary for Hare's check-list to be used correctly.

There is self-report test here:
