Are you a psychopath?

Just a quick test that gives an indication of whether you have traits that might mean you are a psychopath. I am not.

Have a read of the Ted Bundy thread. Then ask yourselves if its so great to have a high score on this test!

sam221 · 06/05/2019 04:44

um 13!

Boomsk · 06/05/2019 04:49

  1. I’m gutted. I was convinced I’d be in double figures.
iloveewanthedreamsheep · 06/05/2019 06:14

I'm not a psychopath..... I'm a high functioning sociopath.

Pengrin · 06/05/2019 12:07

It’s tricky because a lot of professionals have psychopathic tendencies and questions relating to criminal activity aren’t really relevant to those people.

fecketyfeck21 · 06/05/2019 12:29

16, half expect that though. Grin

BogglesGoggles · 06/05/2019 12:33

That’s not s very good wiestionare. A lot of psychothsts/people with antisocial personality disorders never have trouble with the law. The impulsiveness again is more of a sociopathic tebdancy.

BogglesGoggles · 06/05/2019 12:35

@decromad but most people with antisocial personality traits aren’t like that.

UncommonName · 06/05/2019 12:42

I got 15

WooYa · 06/05/2019 12:52

15 🙈

RebootYourEngine · 06/05/2019 12:58

I scored 0

fecketyfeck21 · 06/05/2019 13:04

i've never had trouble with the law either, although, it could have been different, i did threaten to drop an axe on the neighbours outdoor speakers after she'd been blaring it for hours last summer, she'd gone out at one point and left it on for nearly an hour, i'd asked her politely several times if she could switch it down which she did for a few minutes then cranked it back up. in the end several neighbours rocked up on her door step and had a word with her wet dp, so he finally manned up.
landlord threw them out shortly afterwards as there had been multiple problems.

sideorderofchips · 06/05/2019 13:05

Apparently not. I find this surprising.

DrCristinaYang · 06/05/2019 13:15

2, wouldn't have thought I was anyway. I care too much. Just wanted to take the test out of curiosity.
