The Psychopath Test | A radio documentary by This American Life

Recently we heard about this test that could determine if someone was a psychopath. So, naturally, our staff decided to take it.

The Psychopathy Checklist Revised is a psychodiagnostic tool designed by psychologist Robert Hare to assess psychopathy. The PCL-R asks questions designed to see if a person have the personality traits that scientists had consistently found in psychopaths. Here’s Hare’s list of  traits of psychopaths:

1. Glib and superficial charm;
2. Grandiose self-worth;
3. Need for stimulation or proneness to boredom;
4. Pathological lying;
5. Conning and manipulativeness;
6. Lack of remorse or guilt;
7. Shallow affect;
8. Callousness and lack of empathy;
9. Parasitic lifestyle;
10. Poor behavioral controls;
11. Promiscuous sexual behavior;
12. Early behavior problems;
13. Lack of realistic, long-term goals;
14. Impulsivity;
15. Irresponsibility;
16. Failure to accept responsibility for own actions;
17. Many short-term marital relationships;
