Your place on the psychopathic spectrum

I retook the test, answering closer to the middle on some that I thought could go wither way, and got a 15%. That would be erring on the high side for me. Holy shit, most of you guys are hard bastards!

How do you know that? Did I miss something?

It said something to that effect on the left side of the page that the questions were on.

Can't really imagine anyone's favourite animal genuinely being a piranha. Maybe ticking that option leads to the conclusion, "You're not taking this seriously"!

Some of my favorite animals are water ones, including fish. I scored 18 %

Fucking hell, now that was an unexpected result!

I just did it again and got the same result 45% but I would have expected to score lower! Glad to know my conscience is in the right place at least!

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.

This test did not give the opportunity to state my favorite animal, which is the common jellyfish Aurelia aurita. I just went with fish since they live in the sea. Couldn't they have included whales or dolphins at least?

15%.

I received the same comment for a score of 61.. seems this is a big category.

Do those of us with low scores need to start hunting for a secure hiding place? :hide:

I'm going to try the test again but put kitten instead of my real preference of puppy - that must be the low scoring one!

Emmeline · **#71** by **Emmeline** » Aug 25, 2014 8:44 am

Well that doesn't make any difference - probably because it isn't one of the questions - it's just part of the demographic bit!

SCORE 64%

decently close tho I'm awfully adventurous so they got that wrong. ( sailplanes, kayaks, scuba, caving, skiing, ) and just off 1700 km on the the Adirondack twisties at 66 years old. :dance:

Sounds like a nostrum program.... :what:

Here's my breakdown of answers, which got me 45% - I think it's the skydiving and high opinion of myself that did it. :lol:

“You rarely catch me making any plans, I’m far too spontaneous.” = D
“I'd have no problem cheating on my partner if I knew I could get away with it.” = DD
“If I got a better offer, I wouldn’t mind cancelling long-standing plans.” = D
“I don’t get bothered by seeing animals injured or in pain.” = DD
“It would be fun to drive fast cars, ride rollercoasters and go skydiving.” = AA
“I think it’s OK to step over other people to achieve my own ambitions.” = D
“I’m very persuasive, and getting people to do what I want is a real talent of mine.” = AA
“My ability to make quick decisions means I would suit a dangerous job.” = D
“When the people around me are crumbling under pressure, I’m usually the one with a cool head.” = AA
“If someone gets conned who cares? They're asking for it.” = DD
“I’m rarely to blame for things going wrong; it’s usually the fault of the people around me.” = A

Risk taking, manipulative, stunted emotions (cool head), and failure to accept responsibility.
I'm not saying that's you, but that's what those questions are getting at where you answered AA. We were the same on the first 4, but I answered d or dd on all of them except for the cool head, which I forget if it was d or a. Maybe I gave myself too much credit on that one.

I probably should be ashamed of myself but being such a psychopath, I can only laugh at the results. :evilgrin:

A good personality test would have more than 11 questions, and an interview by a professional, so there's hope for you...all. :tongue:

And I might not be as goody two shoes as this test suggests. :evilgrin:

A cackling, maniacal laughter, or perhaps the evil nemesis "muahahahah!"

I'm so psychopathic they don't even let me access the test.

All the mods except Cali seem to score quite high. :ask:

I've just realised that my score isn't as high as I thought because it's 6 points lower than the average male score. :lol:
