test for psychopaths

I posted this on the other forum, but thougt it might be interesting to post it here as well.

I started reading on psychopaths. The term psychopath and NDP are sometimes used as a synonym, anyway, the definition of the two are close to one another. Check out this site www.daniweb.com/forums/thread78319.html for a checklist of traits of psychopathy, my xN scored 34 (between 30 and 40, you are considered as a psychopath). I can't put my finger on it, but now I now I've been living with a psychopath (sounds creepier than narcissist), I'm not mourning over him anymore. I'm angry from time to time, but at the same time, I'm afraid. I want to stay as far from him as I possibly can. And that's a good sign.

Since I am fully aware that he can be classified as a psychopath it so much easier to keep him at a distance mentally. I'm so glad he got away.

Just start reading about psychopaths. There not all convicted criminals, many stay under the radar to destroy lifes in a way that sadly, you all know.

Hugs,

And please register at the other forum, the chat feature is really awesome!

test

Uggggghhh. 38 at least. Probably 40, actually, because I think his boss told me not to speak to him after he beat me up (probation) and he did (violation), but I did beg him to speak to me so I don't know if that counts. I agree with you, Scoop. The couple of points I could have been guilty of I am GUILTY of them, you know what I mean? Like if a friend needs a ride somewhere and, once in a blue moon, I just can't do it and wait to call back until I know it's too late. I toss and turn over it, totallly suffer, berate myself, etc etc etc.

I was thinking about this

I was thinking about this test today after i did it last night i got 11 and wank stain narc got 35 but i was thinking that even if i put a one against all the answers it would still be 20 because i think that i am all of the questions at some time or anouther if i am honest i am not an angel but heres the diffrence I KNOW IM NOT AN ANGEL . which makes me only 11 or at worse 20 and i have introspection to know i need work on myself . Wank stain narc would lie through his teeth on this kind of test .

Mine scored 38...

and the only one I'm iffy on is the juvenile deliquency, I know he was capable of date rape(me and one other that I know of) at age 16, and he did commit vandalism frequently...yes, I guess it would be 40. I know he is a psychopath just by the last year of observing his traits and things he asked or "demanded" from me, and reading everything I could on the subject. He frequently cheats on his wife, I know a narc is capable of infidelity, but he boasted of the exploits in explicit detail (it actually reminded me of how a serial killer likes to relive their crimes), and loves the idea of getting one over on his wife. He has no conscience, he never did, and I've known him since we were kids. Pure evil. He speaks of his children in terms of what they do, how they make him look. He lables EVERYONE. He has such contempt for people. Even as a kid he did. I have no doubt he is dangerous, thats why I haven't revealed to his wife what I know of his secret life.

mine scored 28 but he had

mine scored 28 but he had never had problems with the law and was not in trouble as a child either and is sucessful. he does not live a parasitic lifestyle but will not hesitate to use others for business purposes but everything else pretty much right on. He seems to have all of the characteristics except the antisocial piece so many he is just a plain ol Narc

Mine scored 25

I always have struggled with this concept- he is a lower grade in some respects because he is very successful and not a criminal; I scored 3. So the difference was quite apparent!!!

Confused

I'm confused. How does one score between 30-40 with only 20 questions? is it supposed to be 2 points per answer? Journey on...

Good news / Bad news

The good news is I'm not a psychopath. The bad news is I was in love with one. He passes with flying colors. Idealk

just to make sure :-) :-) :-) I'm convinced that no one who is registered here is a psychopath :-). Mine was too, and I even left some questions blank bc I didn't know the answer.
