what was your score @neilh? i was 21% be interesting to see what some people on here are!
14 Dec 2013 22:41
@flo I was 55%, just above average for men. Not sure what pushed me up but it's interesting that the male avaerage was a lot higher than the female score I guess confirming the stereotypes of men being less intrinsically caring and more self-centred. Yes it would be interesting to see others' scores as well. Come on everyone, have a go!
14 Dec 2013 22:42
Well it was a mere 30% for me, which means:
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.

My score 37%
14 Dec 2013 22:58
Shit my score is 76% is that good or bad
14 Dec 2013 23:08

15 Dec 2013 00:03

15 Dec 2013 00:09

SCORE 73%
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...
Well my Wife said lied ! ....... Could someone send this in to the Government....
15 Dec 2013 00:24
2 late 4 me LOL
15 Dec 2013 07:07
30% for me, suprisingly the same as Mrs C
15 Dec 2013 07:20
88% .
I always knew I wasn't wired up properly. My profile on here says it all.
15 Dec 2013 07:32
I got 24%. The summary at the end seemed mostly to repeat what the questions had said.
15 Dec 2013 09:44
Haha brilliant, who'd have thought there'd be peace and harmony on here over a psychopath test!
15 Dec 2013 10:06
A surprising 42% good eh?Because I thought i might need the people with
the white coats, but It is obvious some on here need therapy.
15 Dec 2013 10:26
You see? All those of you worrying about the proximity of Langdon Hospital, without a thought for how convenient it will be for your visitors to walk to.
15 Dec 2013 11:15
Beat you Brooklyn. Amateur!
15 Dec 2013 11:24
15% for me
15 Dec 2013 15:38
@DJ - Congrats.
@Mcjrpc - LOL 
Did anyone else see the programme. It appears that the highest number of clinical psychopaths is in the boardroom and in "Banking/Finance Community" professionally. Dawlish.com didn't feature but it appears we have more than our fair share!! So as Mcjrpc points out it's just as well that Langdon is close to hand.
15 Dec 2013 16:05
How come I didn't get any congrats neilh? I won . I might just pay you a visit.
15 Dec 2013 17:35
Quid pro quo, Elvis, quid pro quo
15 Dec 2013 18:31
Sorry mate I can't speak french
16 Dec 2013 00:03
@Elvis - but haven't you seen Silence of the Lambs?
16 Dec 2013 07:38
Seen it, I ate it.
16 Dec 2013 12:42
4% more than me, OLD FART, I'm totally gutted, I'll have to start self harming again.
16 Dec 2013 17:45
SELF HARMING IS NOT FUNNY 
16 Dec 2013 17:58
39%. Quite chuffed with that.
would recommend Jon Ronson's book The Psycopath Test, quite enlightening and amusing too.
16 Dec 2013 18:15
As it happens jools88 , my daughter self harms and there's no need to shout.
16 Dec 2013 18:39
If she did you would not joke about or you are just a bit THICK ?
16 Dec 2013 18:45
There's no need to be offensive jools88, she self harms , because it saves me the trouble.
16 Dec 2013 18:49
Not funny . If you had somebody you love do this you would not joke about it .
16 Dec 2013 18:53
I told you she does,
16 Dec 2013 18:55
so what you are saying she has to harm her self or you will do it ?
If so you need sorting out .
16 Dec 2013 19:03
That sounds lke threatening behaviour to me. That's twice now you have been offensive to me, kindly refrain. I don't come on here and make snide comments about anyone, unike yourself.
My daughter does self harm, the remark about saving me the trouble, comes under the label called humour. making light of the situation.
16 Dec 2013 19:08
Webmaster remove this person please . Not a subject to joke about is it ?
I do not call this humour .
16 Dec 2013 19:11
Others may. Three days ago you said chillax it's Christmas. So chillax jools88
16 Dec 2013 19:19
I lost my 13 yr niece to this sickness . so that is why i do not think this is a subject to joke about.
End of my input to this Discussion.
16 Dec 2013 19:24
That's a relief.
16 Dec 2013 22:26
Fight amongst yourselves, it was bound to happen eventually. Neither of you give a damn when your jibes are at the expense of others, but unsurprisingly very sensitive when it's close to home.
16 Dec 2013 22:38
What jibes are those?
What sensitivity are you talking about?
16 Dec 2013 23:13
Come on people a little light hearted messing about and then someone has to get sensative because someone in jest makes a of the cuff comment that was not directed at any group of people or individuals. The same remark could be made watching any comedy show on TV do you get all shirty then probably not, ust take it as is a little light hearted humour.
16 Dec 2013 23:17
Watch Francesca Martinez or Jack Carroll
