How Much of a Psychopath are You?

[Commodore]

Here is a fun little quiz to see how much of a psychopath you are. Have fun!

Here's my results:

79%

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...

EDIT: Whoops almost forgot to link the quiz. Here it is

Hm, the test was not that good (but it only had 11 questions and 4 levels for each, so...)

Anyway:

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.

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.

Not a brilliant test tbh. I took a better one recently (on narcissism IIRC), I'll see if I can find it.

Narcissism one was most interesting to me..... http://personality-testing.info/tests/NPI.php

I took the quiz and got this:

Your score 9%

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.

^ So 9%=21%=27%.

I feel wronged Clearly those who made the test are on the higher-end of the psychopathic spectrum and are not as considerate.

I think my result is qualified as boring

I didn't bother to read the lines under the score. I would not trust this test. Asking questions like favorite animal or favorite color. Those are security questions on some websites. Wish I had not clicked on the site.

that's very sharp and interesting observation. You are a very careful observer.

Indeed!!!

But I trust Channel 4 -- one of the major TV broadcasters in the UK -- to not be operating a phishing website.

Dude, it is not supposed to be taken seriously. It is just a fun little time waster. Not everything has to be super-serious or deeply analytical.

In short: Calm down and have fun with it.

For a test with only 11 questions, you were expecting a lot more levels? Perhaps your score should have been higher?

Psychopath is a popular and political term, not a scientific one. Psychologists don't use it, there's no one medically diagnosed as "being a psychopath" or "psychopathic." So I'm 0% psychopathic. So are you. So is everyone.

It could have had far more levels, given that in this type of grouping the probability is produced by a multiplication, so you have 11 times 4= 44 possible different answers. (it is just 11 tetradic arrangements, given that each tetrad consists of one 'yes' and three 'no', and the position of the yes values as a different one for each of the 11 questions).

It seems likely that the text it produces is less variated than 44 different groups of sentences (even with one sentence being changed).

Channel4 loses more prestige. :/

That is very psychopathic of you to point out.

Man, you guys really don't know how to have any fun do you?

 

[Kyriakos]

^I know from the movie DarkMan, that the psychiatrists use instead the term "lunatic"

Sure I do. The below was rather humorous:

I was simply pointing out a popular misconception about the term. So it seems that I'm not the up-tight one here, you are, about other people potentially hurting your fun-feels.

^I know from the movie DarkMan, that the psychiatrists use instead the term "lunatic"

Also not true. It was an ancient blanket term for "mental disorders" or misbehavior believed to be caused by the Moon (Luna). Not sure if that was a joke on your part or not...

 

[Kyriakos]

Well, obviously you havent't seen DarkMan


Link to video.

So you being anti-social and me pointing that out makes me the anti-social one?

I never said that you cannot post your thoughts, and could care less if you did. I was merely pointing out the inconsistency of your point.
