    The test is flawed though as I've been diagnosed as a psychopath only recently.

    We don't diagnose people as psychopaths in Ireland, in fact the term does not exist in the manual used for disorders. The term used is Anti- Social Personality Disorder

    "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."

    You can play hardball with the best of them! You know what you want and are not afraid to go for it – even if it means bending the rules occasionally and putting a few noses out of joint on the way. Nothing fazes you. You are decisive, self-confident and pretty much up for anything. You are a ‘means-to-an-end’ person. For you, it’s not necessarily a matter of right or wrong, but of what gets the job done. ‘Bring it on’ is your mantra, but to help those around you keep their heads, you should learn some tricks to help you temper your self-satisfying tendencies...

    uh oh

    On a serious note, how are so many people scoring over 70 or 80% on this? I was pretty damn pragmatic with my answers which resulted in 33%. I'd like to think a better version of me would have scored lower..

    Not so much by the scores as the sense of pride some people have in achieving a high score.

    I know, but what do you expect when you have the likes of that Wibbs fella in charge, him and his squinty eyed look.

    I'd expect most boards.ie mods to exhibit traits of psychopaths. I meant many regular posters when I said I was surprised.

    Canadel, dial it back. You've had a few bans on this site and a ban from this forum, so even the sniff of trolling other members will be frowned upon.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    A high score isn't so much a sign of being crazy as it is another word beginning with c and ending in t.

    24 percent - a lot lower than I expected

    "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."

    I'm female and couldn't resist the test and also got 9%. I'd say it would be very interesting to do a comparison between the average male v average female score:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    I got 48%, but I thought the questions were rubbish as they're mostly circumstantial and you can't give a definite answer without knowing a situation. Hell, you can't even give a middle of the road 3/5 to compensate for a 'maybe'.

    Had a quick run through all the male/female ones,I conclude 99.9% of all females are indeed barmy.

    I didn't take the test. It seems to me that if you have to ask whether you're a psychopath, and you are unsure of the answer, you should closely examine why you are unsure. :)
