Default Do you have psychopathic tendencies?

Made this thread because of a conversation in the videogame thread

Where https://www.theguardian.com/commenti...f-a-psychopath was posted. I then searched for this hare Psychopathy test thats mentioned in the article.


http://uk.businessinsider.com/hare-p...ficial-charm-1

My score is 35/40 when done according to the 0/1/2.

Only 2 of the questions do not apply at all. Most of them very strongly and constant

http://www.minddisorders.com/Flu-Inv...Checklist.html

Quote:
When properly completed by a qualified professional, the PCL-R provides a total score that indicates how closely the test subject matches the "perfect" score that a classic or prototypical psychopath would rate. Each of the twenty items is given a score of 0, 1, or 2 based on how well it applies to the subject being tested. A prototypical psychopath would receive a maximum score of 40, while someone with absolutely no psychopathic traits or tendencies would receive a score of zero. A score of 30 or above qualifies a person for a diagnosis of psychopathy. People with no criminal backgrounds normally score around 5. Many non-psychopathic criminal offenders score around 22.
My psychiatrist already says I am sociopathic. I plan on bringing this up with her at our next appointment to get the test done 'properly', though its a quite scary thought.

It's not scary Vicky, you function don't you? You have friends and love your family and kids you also have from what I've seen have a healthy response to social injustice such as the ATOS medicals and you empathise with those who wish to transition... You are normal!

It's those who float through life presuming they are these caring individuals who don their blinkers so they can't see the vulnerable suffer, or worse blame them themselves for their wretched existence ..:/

I think I scored seven altogether.
Maybe I was being kind to myself.

OK given my endless posts on the topic, it may surprise you to find out that I do not really care that much about the ATOS medicals, except for when they apply to myself. So my sense of injustice about them is more as I have been told I am perfectly fine when I know I am not :S

Before I had personal experience of it, it did not really bother me that much aside from knowing that its a bad way to treat people who are ill.

Its easy for me to 'act' normal'. I know what I should be outraged about and such. But really, it only bothers me when its happening to myself.

So yeah

Being a sociopath doesn't mean your dangerous. High functioning sociopaths tend to do well in life. Just because you have traits doesn't mean your going to act on those traits.

Yeah not surprisingly

You got: QUALIFIED FOR DIAGNOSIS OF PSYCOPATHY

You scored high on this test and may actually be a psycopath. You do not feel emotions like the average person does and do not generally think out the consequences for your actions. Many people who score this high are in correctional facilities.
I guess it does oversimplify it somewhat though.

Though I did think, when I read the questions that surely they applied to everyone. Which it seems they do not :S

Apparently most people in leadership are sociopaths. which isn't surprising

Yeh it called me normal haha, I think I scored about 7/8ish so there is probably something to be cautious of Vicky, cos I'm a right nutta sometimes!

there are hundreds of apects to psychopathology though, a 20 question survey that says yes or no doesnt really help anyone imo, unless it says which psychopathological traits you might be prone to. I'm also wondering if the worst of the worst are completely aware of their personality traits? And whether people have the same idea of what counts as 'often', 'sometimes', and 'not really' cos who are we comparing ourseves to? I'm just not a fan of the survey, its broad af.

I just googled and the oldest recorded joke (from 1900BC) was a fart joke, which made me sad about modern life more than anything else. Weve barely progressed in 3900 years.

Spoiler:

Loose translation
Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband’s lap.
I believe LT made that one too

whilst cylepath and psychopath is a well worn path the result: description and then punchline did merit posting

sadly i cannot be held responsible for poorly developed senses of humour.

I find it sort of comforting really . It's like how chimpanzees and some other primates find "other chimps falling over" really funny and properly crease up about it... and here we are, millions of years of evolution later, and 90% of "try not to laugh challenges"? PEOPLE FALLING OVER! It was also the main staple of "You've Been Framed".

Clearly large aspects of basic humour are instinctual and timeless and there's something sort of grounding about that . Farts and minor injuries are just amusing...

Swear to god, I was having an awful day quite recently, couldn't pick myself up at all... then I saw this youtube video:



And the rest of my day was spent with a smile on my face and a spring in my step.

You got: NORMAL


You scored as a normal member of society on the PCL-R test. You are goal oriented and enjoy bettering yourself. Unlike a psycopath, you feel emotions normally and care about others. You are not likely to be a danger to yourself or others.

This really isn't abnormal or unusual at all, though... you can be "philosophically outraged", I suppose. There are plenty of topics where I can see, logically, that something is unjust or wrong and I can be very vocal about it, might even "seem" annoyed or angry about it online, but it's different from being ACTUALLY annoyed or outraged. I'm not losing sleep over these things or, to be frank, giving them much thought at all as soon as the conversation is over .

That wouldn't be unusual to be fair, sociopaths aren't necessarily compulsive liars... only when it's personally beneficial to lie, or disadvantageous not to.
