I took a psychopath quiz and I scored pretty low.

You scored 8. Scores above 30 indicate psychopathy

   

Test takes only a few minutes:

Scored 17

I did honestly answer the questions pretty fast and didn't give it much thought.

I wonder if there's good a test for Sociopaths also.

[Handsome Creepy Eel]

I scored 9, but no one actually needs to take this test to be assured of not being a psychopath. Why? Well, if you're wondering if you're a psychopath then you're almost certainly not one.

One of the main traits of psychopathic people is a sick sense of self-determination. They don't wonder if they might be this or that - they're simply pathologically certain of it.

Scored an 11

Good I guess?

I dislike how broad the questions were though. It doesn't feel like it can indicate much beyond a basic idea. Then again it admits to that you shouldn't take the results seriously after you take it anyway.

[Repo]

Scored a 17. Some of the questions were broad, like I'm honest in some things but not others. Most of my points likely come from my promiscuity and confidence in myself.

[TexMexBBQ]

I scored an 8 also

[Truth Tiger]

10. Men are likely to be honest in self-assessment, women less so. IIRC, trait neuroticism is higher in women according to JP.

I would recommend against responding to quizzes of this nature online from an IP address that can be traced back to you (or at all, really). This one explicitly asks whether you have committed crimes, but even subtler tests for "psychopathy" or "sociopathy" could potentially be used against you if you ever get into any kind of trouble (for example, as a result of being falsely accused). Please remember that the Internet is forever and unless you are using an anonymous VPN -- and sometimes even then -- most IP addresses are easily traceable to an individual. Since this "quiz" was "designed by experts" it could conceivably be given some weight in a legal context. The odds of that ever happening are low, of course, but it's best to just keep them at zero.

As a side note, there are many good -- and some superb -- men that are quite rational, calculating, emotionally cold, and not particularly prone to guilt or uncertainty and would score reasonably high on this scale. They likely would not have any history of violence or poor impulse control, but they would match many of the other criteria, without in fact being "psychopaths" or anything close to that.

I got 22. I reckon the test is broke. I'm way more psychotic than that.

First post, by the way. Nice to meet you guys!

"What gender do you identify as?
Man.
Woman."

I scored 15. I think this test is kinda basic, a lot of the questions are a bit superficial. "I am exceptional". That could mean many things, not necessarily grandiosity. "I was a problem child". Maybe because the person was abused?

More useful and insightful in my opinion is the list of nine traits of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). Not quite the same as psychopathy but there is a lot of overlap, this list of traits is more pointed and I think easier to apply in life:

1. Arrogance and Domineering
2. Grandiosity
3. Preoccupation with Success and Power
4. Lack of Empathy
5. Belief of Being Unique
6. Sense of Entitlement
7. Requires Excessive Admiration
8. Exploitative
9. Envious of Others

After a close friend betrayed me, it took a couple of years to fully process what had happened. Once I learned about NPD, it all made sense. I've also noticed NPD traits in a family member and have adjusted my behavior accordingly.

25. Not sure what to make of this.

[Built to Fade]

I just can't read through any psychopath thread these days without being reminded of that member (SudoRoot) who started this "Q and A with a psychopath" thread.

I read through that thread some time ago and it still gives me a laugh to this day, especially when you have a look through SudoRoot's rep report.

Quit fear mongering.

In other news, I scored a 27. Yay!

[netguy68]

23 here.

I couldn't make up my mind if the goal was to be or not to be a psychopath...

Problem I have with all tests like this is that I could easily score whatever I wanted to on them. What does that indicate?

13.

Yet my contrarian nature didn't fit neatly into the binary responses available on many of the questions.
A grand thinker can not be held to such simple analysis!

I'm not hubris - you're hubris.

[Cr33pin]

Damn
I scored 47,836

[Chrome]

Does anyone have an "Are you an Indian?" quiz? Asking for a friend.

[The Beast1]

Anyone remember that guy who tried to have a psychopath q and a?

Found it! thread-54253.html

I wonder what sudoroot would score.

A better metric of psychopathy is if they tortured small animals in childhood. If they did. They are very likely a psychopath and a future serial killer.

Eye's and what they tell you:

[blck]

Psychopath ? No Thank You

I scored 17. Seems to be a popular result for some reason. I think this test is bad however. Some questions are too broad and can be interpreted in many ways. Also this test makes it seem like every psycopath must have done some quite serious crime in his life, which I don't really believe - there are plenty of smart psycopaths who know how to balance at edge of social norms ot avoid becoming a convict and a criminal.

Anyway I for sure know I am not a psycopath, since I am a moral person and feel strong compassion towards victims of injustice, altrough since I consider strength to be a virtue and believe in reason and stoicism trumping over emotionality, I could appear cold to conventional morality and such tests calibrated for your average blue piller or even women would return too many false positives.

[Glaucon]

sometimes I wish

[ilostabet]

"What gender do you identify as?" lmao.

anyway, scored 5.

I guess I'm not a psycopath. But I could be giving fake answers on purpose, in which case...
