how do you know you're not a sociopath

[Nimrod's Son]

Congratulations - you have completed The Online Psychopath Self Assessment Test. Your personality profile is Se-Pr-Gr-Ap-En/Ti-Ln-Ls-Ma-Sp-As.


Are you a psychopath?

Sociopathic personality is based on an inability to feel empathy for others. Sociopaths are not necessarily violent or maladaptive but they do lack empathy for others and are therefore capable of being manipulative or threatening in order to get what they want. The words sociopath and psychopath are used interchangeably in the research community. The current DSM does not recognize sociopathic personality as distinct from anti-social personality but many researchers believe sociopathy is distinct. Aside from cold-blooded killers and manipulative con artists, it’s believed that adaptive psychopaths have succeeded in authoritative fields such as business, law, medicine, and the military.

About the test

This test is designed to provoke responses that correlate to a number of psychological indicators. Certain combinations indicate a possible personality type.

The results of this test are an indicator and not a diagnosis.

Interpreting the results of your test

If your test contains any of the following combinations then it indicates the corresponding personality type. If you do not have any of these combinations then there is no significance to your results.

Ap, Se, and As = Sociopathic personality

Ap, Se, and Am = Potentially sociopathic

Ap, Se, and As + Pr = Principled sociopath

Ap, Se, and As + Hs = Potentially dangerous sociopath

Ap, Se, and As + Ad = Adaptive sociopath

Ap and As = Antisocial personality (strengthened with Ma)

Gr with any of the above = narcissistic personality

Sp = Schizoid personality

Key

Em=Empathetic vs. Ap=Apathetic

Se=Pro-self vs. So=Pro-social

Pr=Principled vs. Am=Amoral

As=Anti-social vs. Sc=Social

Gr=Grandiose vs. Mo=Modest

Ln=Low need for structure vs. Hn=High need for structure

Ad=Adaptive vs. Ma=Maladaptive

Hs=High Sadism vs. Ls=Low Sadism

Sp=Schizoid positive vs. Sn=Schizoid negative

is this the test that made you think you're a sociopath

you know the fact you're willing to admit this on a message board where many people know your full name makes it unlikely you're a sociopath, right?

[reprise85]

i can see a narcissist doing that

not diagnosing you, just sayin'

i got So-Pr-Mo-Em-En/Ti-Hn-Ls-Ad-Sn-Sc.

This is reassuring because I'd much rather be a human being than a narcissist or sociopath but I can't help wondering when I look at all this stuff. I can be pretty broken and rotten at times.

no, i googled for a test after the other one was posted because this one seemed to use less personal bias

i don't get why he uses a key. why not just list the traits.

[Luke de Spa]

he's probably a SOCIOPATH

[Eulogy]

[Luke de Spa]

People should generally be forgiven?

it's not something i think about. do you think i should?

[noyen]

is geraldo a sociopath?

[Luke de Spa]

who's geraldo?

[noyen]

geraldo rivera, the talk show host.

or maybe bill o'reilly? i just need a reference point of who is a real sociopath besides scott peterson. i think narcissistic behavior is way to easy too find because anyone who uses the internet is one.

[Luke de Spa]

i don't know who that is but i know who bill o'reilly is

fuckin' thing sucks

we'll do it live

[noyen]

btw, that apogee duet 2 sounds like a keeper. i kind of want one after hearing about it. pricey though! but sounds like it is probably worth it.

[Luke de Spa]

oh, that's good to hear. thanks for following up

it is expensive (even moreso here) but i'm hoping to sell enough stuff to defray that a bit. i don't mind paying for something great that i'll hang on to for years

[T&T]

i'm mostly just bored. does that count for something?

a lot of CEOs and stuff like that, by the nature of getting to the position, are sociopaths or have a lot of sociopathic traits. it's hard to say for sure anyone is if they aren't criminals/haven't been caught/haven't been properly evaluated because it is not something that anyone (well the vast majority of sociopaths) would broadcast because of the ramifications of people knowing they do not have empathy and things like that.

Um..that's a pretty unfair statement. What exactly do you think the "nature" of getting to the position is?
And what happened to describing a person as selfish or egoistic, cruel or arrogant? Is it now en vogue to attest "sociopathic traits" instead?

[vixnix]

It's that mixture of charm, ruthlessness, delusion and self-interest that gets them to the CEO position usually, that sounds kinda sociopathic. Nb: I don't know what sociopathic means.

[Luke de Spa]

a sociopath is a charming, ruthless deluded person who only cares about his or her own interests. nota bene: i don't know what a sociopath is either
