I would say there is probably a lot of truth in that old scream quote, personally

'Don't you blame the movies. Movies don't create psychos. Movies make psychos more creative!'

there will never be metrics connecting video games to behavior. They do however have an age recommendation associated with them which in itself indicates unsuitability for an impressionable audience. That is an acknowledgement that they do influence people

I was well under at 20, many of the things that referred to childhood kept me below 30 so maybe something happened in my early adult life that flipped me?
I can think of a few things... :/

Yeah, I just answered the questions as they were posted. Realized afterwards it was meant to be done on a never/sometimes/always basis. And my total score that way is 35.

(Still put 0 for parasitic lifestyle though. As while technically it applies right now, its not by choice and I would change that tomorrow if I could)

Its not a self-diagnosis. It came first from, my counselor, then from my psychiatrist, who I only actually went to after thinking a lot about what my counselor said

The rest just kind of fell into place after that. And I can now see how it all ties together.

What did your counselor call it?

She said I sounded like a sociopath. (her job was not to actually diagnose or anything, but to help me through my gambling issues, though I basically only went to her in the first place as I knew if it looked like I was getting some form of treatment, the court would go easier on me)
I asked why this was. And she went into quite a bit of detail about how I don't appear to feel guilt at all for what I did. In short I ripped off a bunch of people and the only bit that mattered to me was that I was caught and was going to be punished. When she had asked me how I felt about it all now and what I regret, I was honest and said the only part I regret is that I was caught. She said how would I think the people on the recieving end of my crime would feel and I said 'stupid' as they were obviously not intelligent enough to realize that it was all bogus. I still try to blame them in some way, and still do not feel guilty. Or even see them as 'real people' to be quite honest.

My shrink has gone into it all a fair bit more (obviously) and she has mentioned both Sociopathic Personality Disorder and Antisocial personality disorder. Reckons theres no actual treatment though :S And I have never done that test or anything before today. It seems to be just on observations from telling her about my life that she has decided this.

Noone besides my husband know about this. Except y'all now

10/20.

Surprising, I always thought I had some tendencies but perhaps it's not as bad as I thought it was.

Also, remind me not to get on Vicky's bad side.
