I scored a 0.

Well I know you don't have people calling you charming. :hug:

8.  One more example of social prejudice against people with criminal convictions.  Though at least I'm not a psychopath.

Shouldnt you have gotten a 1 or at most a 2 if you are going with the criminal convictions excuse. :P

5. Cdm will be disappointed.

That test seemed easy enough to manipulate, even for a sociopath like yourself.

QuoteCommon Myth: While many people believe that psychopathy is more prevalent among CEOs and Wall Street bankers, this is a myth not supported by any research. While on the surface it may seem that many of the symptoms and traits of psychopathy might lend themselves to positions of greater power, the two are not synonymous.

Now that's some bullshit right there.

Anyone who can label himself or herself as a psychopath is by definition excluded from being one.

:hmm: Apparently, psychopaths are supposed to be good at turning on the charm to conceal themselves, but not so good at figuring out how to answer questions with obviously good and bad answers.

Yeah, odd that highly manipulative people should fail see through those question.

Judging by the above, the most common Languish score.

Wouldn't a psychopath lie on a test like this?  :hmm:

I scored 6, but some of the questions where I answered "this describes me somewhat" could have been "it's not me at all" (for example, when things go wrong, I sometimes panic and point fingers but when I calm down I can take the blame and usually worry and feel guilty about it for weeks after).

If there is one fully justified social prejudice, it's probably the one against people with criminal convictions.  :lol:

Only 2.

I think there would have been a few "somewhat"s when I was younger, maybe take the score to 6 or so.
