I quized my girlfreind on the definition of psychopath this morning, as i realised i didnt know what one actualy is.
From Abnormal Psychology (Davidson et al, 2004): Psycopathic behaviour is charaterised by a lack of shame and other emotions; happiness can be faked in order for the psychopathic individual to make a personal gain. There is a distinct lack of anxiety, which means psychpaths do not learn from their mistakes. The lack of positive emotions makes pysopathic individuals act hostile and irrisponsible. So, does the test show psychopathology? Nope. It just shows you can solve a riddle. ![]() Matt |

However, the question originally posted was part of a much larger survey, done mainly amongst inmates of prisons. Problem there is, they have nothing to gain by being honest, so the subjects of the test can't be considered truely reliable. Anyway, I digress. The question doesn't test anything at all, correct. The results come from the answers. If someone answers "She was hoping the same guy would come to the funeral" that would indicate that they have the CAPACITY to put aside emotions for personal gain. Ie, they'd "happily" kill their own sister, just to get with a guy. By itself, all the answer reviels (as many have said) is that someone has the capacity to think like that. That, in itself, doesn't prove someone is a psychopath. Also, lack of shame and other emotions is thought to be due to an underdeveloped superego (or conscience). It's because of this distinction that most psychopaths are now categorized as sociopaths (because their behaviour doesn't fit in well with society). Some light reading for anyone specifically interested in the mind of the psychopath/sociopath is here. Just thought I'd add a little alpinestarhero ![]() |

It's like "What one thing would you take out of your house if there was a fire". Correct answer is, of course, the fire
