I wonder what percentage of our "betters" in government would score below 35?

[Jeff Chandler]

By their voter registration card.

The best way is through a Weaver T-Series 24x 40mm Adjustable Objective 1/8 MOA Dot Reticle Rifle Scope.

[ReformationFan]

Just go to the DNC(Democratic National Committee). Being a psychopath is a requirement for participation.

[bigheadfred]

Don’t worry. I’m the one that should worry. I scored a 48.

You’re nuts if you go to a psychiatrist.

[RandallFlagg]

POW! Right on target!

[Mastador1]

To quote Wednesday Addams "I'm a homicidal maniac, they look just like everyone else." You can't really tell, just look at our politicians.

[Berlin_Freeper]

When you feel uneasy around someone, it’s because they are a psychopath.

There was an article in the Herald this morning about Internet trolls which closely relates to this. Since my attempts to post things from the Herald here bring nothing but grief, I won’t. But the author is Eric Adler of the Kansas City Star.
He used terms like “Dark Tetrad”( sounds like a video game) and “everyday sadist.” Some people believe that things like Internet trolling enable the
Antisocial types to vent, thus preventing them from doing even more destructive things. I do not subscribe to this. After growing up arou d Toxic Narcissists, I believe the behavior just feeds on itself. Like most people I often wonder what Internet trolls do offline. Some people believe that most of them aren’t acting independently but part of organized disinformation campaigns, and usually paid.

if they wear a bronc0bama pin or sticker on their car, they're a psychopath

I know where there is one right now. I used to see him on TV all the time, but he’s laying low recently for some reason.

[crazycatlady]

Not always. I’ve been a notoriously bad judge of character all my life. A d as they mention, one of the characteristics is charm.
Think about some of the big cult leaders—Rajneesh, Jim Jones. Hersh Applewhite, Elizabeth Claire Prophet. I consider most or all of them to be at best narcissists, at worst, sociopaths and psychopaths. They didnt get where they were by making people uneasy. Quite the contrary.

Here be the test online:

I scored 4, but I didn't fill in the age or sexual "identity" question ("identity", LOL).

[SaraJohnson]

I think we reward the personality of a psychopath in today’s “values.” Americans vote for slickest and slyest - not the smartest and best. There is nothing exceptionally intelligent in OB. But he was a slick showman who lied with the best.

Some of them are professionally called abortionists.
