No idea if I am.
However I'mgoing to hunt you down adjustable wench and do you immense harm.
I now need a new tablet, the link wouldnt work trying to tap the start test, even taking a hammer to it wouldn't work, throwing it across the room and stamping on it seems to have been its death knell, as it will be yours 😈

YOUR
SCORE 52%
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 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.

😕 Omg, boring bastard..

It's a shame the test didn't include some questions on political orientation,
Non psycho = left wing wishy washy liberal?
Psycho = right wing swivel eyed loon?

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...

That's not bad, is it? I mean, not really bad?

You'll know if you have a psychopath in your midst, their games and lack of consideration (whilst simultaneously appearing to be unaware of the damage they're causing) are breathtaking.

They're usually the person that everyone is really angry with (because they've been repeatedly screwed over), and no-one can understand why nothing's been done about them... the reason being the people in authority are as screwed over by their manipulations as the rest of us/scared of the consequences if they do stand up to them.

It's not actually a very amusing experience...

This is an eye-opening read...

Later this week I'm going to send an hour on the phone with a psychologist to go through some recent psychometric test results.

I'll get the assessment then....

EDIT: oh, and given the ratio of psychopaths to non-psychopaths is somewhere between 1:100 to 1:150, have a quick think about the number of people in your workplace, and figure out the rough average.

I reckon we've got 15-20 here. And I'm pretty sure my boss is one of them....

i wonder how the scores would be different if they'd included the questions:

'could you kill someone if you knew you could get away with it?'

and

'do you think you would you enjoy it?'

I have a criminal client up for something really serious . Just for fun I and a collegue ran through the Hare's checklist he scored 36 out of 40 the worry point is 20 and over . We then got a lad we work with to do a "proper" graded one with his own answers . I was getting worried as we did it as lots of his honest and reasoned answers seemed to be going in a certain direction . The print out was essentially " you are not a psychopath but you may benefit from treatment you should seek help and take this print out with you"

I thought about shopping in Ikea, tried it again and it went up to 39%. 😐

Still not the 'Evil Genius' I always aspired to be.

Tomorrow, I'm going to go to Tesco and deliberately drop a packet of crackers.
I might even poke a finger through a custard doughnut.

Are all these low % you quote for real?

I did the test quickly to see what sort of questions were asked. I planned to do it again to get a really high and then a really low score to show how rubbish the test was. I got 88% first go with honest answers and I am a nice guy.

I reckon I could fake the answers to drop another 20-30% but how do you get below 50% without really choosing your answers to do it?
