Are you a psychopath?

This post is why like buttons are needed.

 

how about that

 

30%. lol

 

58%

I think this test is pretty gimmicky though and portrays psychopathy pretty inaccurately.

 

I'm happy with that..

 

15%
-You are warm and empathic with a heightened awareness of social responsibility and a strong sense of conscience. You like to carefully weigh up the pros and cons of a situation before you act and are generally averse to taking risks. You are very much a ‘people person’ and dislike conflict. ‘Do unto others…’ are your watchwords. But, although you avoid hurting others, those residing at the higher end of the psychopathic spectrum might not be as considerate, so stay vigilant to avoid being hurt unnecessarily.

Description fits me fairly well.

 

58% Here's my horoscope.

"Though your conscience is in the right place you also have a pragmatic streak and generally aren’t afraid to do your own dirty work! You’re no shrinking violet - but no daredevil either. You generally have little trouble seeing things from another person’s perspective but, at the same time, are no pushover. ‘Everything in moderation – including moderation’ might sum up your approach to life."

 

actually lack of empathy is one of the biggest contributors to what makes a psychopath just that. if an apple is half ate is it not half an apple or is it completely different now? it is quite logical to scale something like this which is opinionated.

on topic this [atleast in my case] was pretty much dead on I scored 52% btw

This test doesn't really seem logical to determine if you're a psychopath or not.. I was generally under the impression that a psychopath struggled to use their emotional thought, and everything was based on rationality etc..

For example..

A train is approaching and you're at the controls of a fork in the track, it's currently heading towards five trapped people and cannot be stopped. If you press the button and switch the fork the train will be heading towards one trapped person. Do you switch?

Rational answer = Yes, Emotional answer = Yes.

Same question but there is no fork, it's headed towards five trapped people and you're standing on a bridge between the train and the trapped people. There is a man stood on the bridge that is a bulky fellow and hypothetically if he were to be a blockade for the train, the train would stop and the five people would survive. Do you push him to his death to save five?

Rational answer = Yes, Emotional Answer = No.

A psychopath would almost be incapable of using emotional thought, so theoretically would in these questions be better at saving lives than taking them.

 

Duh

I never said it did. It just shows where you are on the psychopathic spectrum. It's a bit of fun if nothing else, y'all need to lighten up.

For example; some of us would say we are introverted or extroverted but I doubt anyone is exactly on the ends of the scale.

 

I scored a 61%, which is above passing so I will take it.

 

24% here. Suckers.

 

Half way there guys

 

61%

70%, though the quiz is sort of shallow.

 

My intentions were not to aggravate you I apologise as that seems so, but I was merely pointing out my point of view towards your topic title.

 

My titles tend to be there just to get people to click & post, to promote activity and what-not. Much like a newspaper headline Not at all, I was just responding rather bluntly, didn't mean to sound moody
