I think you will probably get a number of people who are genetically predisposed towards it, and then other people who are less so but through bad environmental factors show a predilection to low empathy. It's useful to identify who they are, to steer away. I reckon you can tell from some people merely by looking at their eyes (glassy eyed), but obviously with the ones with a higher level of charisma and social functioning, it's more a matter of waiting for them to slip up in pretending to care about others or supposedly cherished ideals or goals. They tend to blow up when they don't get their way.Last edited by Zero Liability; 8 April 2014, 21:31.Comment

Surely any psychopath worth his salt would know what the "right" answers are? It's the ones with the suspiciously low scores you need to look out for.
I got 12, a reassuringly low but not too low score.Comment

I recently worked with a psychopath. They aren't easy to deal with I tell you. They'll either try to manipulate you and if that doesn't work victimize you. Kinda got my own back on him before I left though.
Oh and I scored 8.Comment

Psychopathy is a term made up by ordinary people who don't understand extraordinary people.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.
