Are you a psychopath - CGNorwich

An interesting quiz - Can't wait to see the results for forum members to see if they coincide with my perceptions ;-)

For the record I scored 18%

"You are warm and empathic with a heightened awareness of social responsibility and a strong sense of conscience. You like to carefully weigh up the pros and cons of a situation before you act and are generally averse to taking risks. You are very much a ‘people person’ and dislike conflict. ‘Do unto others…’ are your watchwords. But, although you avoid hurting others, those residing at the higher end of the psychopathic spectrum might not be as considerate, so stay vigilant to avoid being hurt unnecessarily."

"Though your conscience is in the right place you also have a pragmatic streak and generally aren’t afraid to do your own dirty work! You’re no shrinking violet - but no daredevil either. You generally have little trouble seeing things from another person’s perspective but, at the same time, are no pushover. ‘Everything in moderation – including moderation’ might sum up your approach to life."

You can play hardball with the best of them! You know what you want and are not afraid to go for it – even if it means bending the rules occasionally and putting a few noses out of joint on the way. Nothing fazes you. You are decisive, self-confident and pretty much up for anything. You are a ‘means-to-an-end’ person. For you, it’s not necessarily a matter of right or wrong, but of what gets the job done. ‘Bring it on’ is your mantra, but to help those around you keep their heads, you should learn some tricks to help you temper your self-satisfying tendencies.

The multiple-choice scale is too basic, without a 'neither/nor' or 'both equally' median choice. This forces one to answer with less than strict accuracy.

Plus, someone might for example know that they are capable of succumbing to temptation and 'cheating on their partner', while also knowing that they would probably feel quite bad about it. That too forces people to answer dishonestly on some level.

My friend Laurie Smith the leather craftsman was diagnosed as a psychopath, and this sums him up nicely:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mask_of_Sanity

He lived in perfect isolation in this cottage for 30 years and I could have bought it 16 years ago for £130k but, it didn't look like this back then:

www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-23282874.html

He once told me that he was emotionally stunted, but he never really hurt anyone in his life, apart from far too many women, alas.

The amazing thing about him was that everyone who knew him, loved him, I knew the 'real' Laurie though,
and I still loved him.

The interview portion of the evaluation covers the subject's background, including such items as work and educational history; marital and family status; and criminal background. Because psychopaths lie frequently and easily, the information they provide must be confirmed by a review of the documents in the subject's case history.

As a sometime journalist and media person, I am very psychopathic and in the company of business villains, surgeons, lawyers, coppers and (tee hee) members of the clergy.

As a sometime teacher and lifelong craftsperson and creative artist, I am hardly psychopathic at all and in the company of nurses, beauticians, charity workers and accountants... (accountants? Shome mishtake shurely...).

Thanks for placing me so precisely on the psychopathy scale CGN. Those of a nervous disposition would be well advised to take to the woods when they see me coming, especially if I am carrying an obvious weapon. Better safe than sorry eh?

I used to be a teacher. In the past I also worked as a healthcare professional. Now I'm doing an MMus course in music composition. It seems I'm gravitating towards the bottom of the list! (Mind you, Hitler was a painter, wasn't he?)

Reminds me of a true story:

Many years ago, at the start of my teaching career, I became friends with the head of P.E. He told me how he used to be a police officer, but got disillusioned with having to boss people around and be nasty to them - so he became a teacher. A short while after telling me that, he resigned to become the manager of a sports centre. That way, he said, he would be dealing only with people who actually wanted to be there. It seems as if he found being a teacher a bit too much like being a policeman!

Are you a psychopath - Armel Coussine

I was a hopeless teacher. I was far too young, hot-tempered and ignorant to be able to hold the class's attention, and it was an appalling private day school in South London where I was expected to teach things I wasn't qualified to teach. I quite liked the boys in my class but they were a bit scornful of me, not much liking my wet-behind-the-ears alternative views and behaviour.

The deputy head was a cadaverous, wiry, ferocious charater in spectacles, very like Chalky in the Giles cartoons if anyone can remember those. Hearing my class in its usual uproar he came in one day. The boys fell more of less silent, but that wasn't good enough for Chalky. He didn't like the look on one boy's face so leapt forward and slapped his face back and forth very hard several times. My own attempts at ruling by physical violence, common in the schools I went to as a child, came to an end because of course it hurt and humiliated the boys, so I had given it up.

I must say I was mildly take aback. Struck me as at least a breach of protocol. In the end I took to arriving later and later in the morning and getting drunk in the pub at lunch time with the school handyman, an engaging character. So I got fired, a bit of a relief to tell the truth.

Was Chalky a psychopath? Who knows... he was certainly a trifle authoritarian.

Not really measuring psychopathy.

More a measure of ability to crap on other people and take the glory for other peoples' work.

>>"Hurting animals"

Difficult to know what they mean in that question. What they actually write is:

>>“I don’t get bothered by seeing animals injured or in pain.”

I'm afraid that it does not bother me one bit to think of a pheasant falling out of the sky to be picked up by Zero's dog and its neck pulled.

Which is a world of difference from hearing of some bloke leaving his dog in the car to die in the heat. Which would bother me greatly.

>>“It would be fun to drive fast cars, ride rollercoasters and go skydiving.”

I couldn't see the connection here. Rollercoasters are safe as houses; probably safer. I find them exceptionally dull. Skydiving, on the other hand, is most definitely not!

My son-in-law (a soldier!) found an injured pheasant in the road before Christmas.
It seemed to have a broken wing, so he brought it home and installed it in their - heated - downstairs loo. Here it had its own cardboard box, complete with padding, plus a plentiful supply of birdseed and water. It crapped everywhere!
After Christmas it seemed to be better, to the extent that it started pecking at folks using the loo, so it was decided that a run in the garden might be essayed for Phil - yes it now had a name!
Phil being a sensible bird, explored the garden and not liking the cold promptly took refuge in the garage. - not an outdoor bird now!
It has now been established that while the blinking thing can emulate Road Runner, it seems not to be able to fly.
Solution - build a VERY sturdy - well, S-I-L is in REME - outdoor run and house.
(They are in rural Suffolk and foxes are, no doubt, about).
Hopefully, this will double as a chicken house & run. Keeping a few hens has been discussed, but it took a poorly Phil the Pheasant to get the project started!
Loons!

You and Fifi are of the same mind.

In fact I have just taken Fifi off steroids because she was becoming a psychopath.

Are you a psychopath - tyro

12%

So - that's me and Londoner.

And the similarities don't end there.

>>"You are warm and empathic ..." = absolutely not.

Yup - same here.

>>" ... with a heightened awareness of social responsibility ..." = true, but becaue I think that it is the right thing to do - not because I have any affection for people.

Me too.

>>"You are very much a ‘people person’ ..." = False. Can't stand most people.

Moi aussi

>>"... and dislike conflict. " = No. I am an argumentative so-and-so.

There we differ.

By the way, have we ever had a Myers-Briggs thread?

Only a gentle thread drift but.....

My favourite bit is the last 100 or so words with the judge's response to the plea for leniency by a city councillor.

It's happening at this end of the country too Lygonos, bunch of cocky horrid pimps down on the coast importing Hungarian girls, family abusing some sort of slave down by Chichester, bashing the bloke about just for fun in front of the cctv....

We think we are civilised. Not like those foreigners.

Thanks, Focusless.

I had a quick read through the thread. Very interesting.

I reckon that there is a lot of validity in Myers-Briggs.
