Basically, the psychopath test is an indicator to whether you are at risk of being a psychopath or not. So, if you are...? Go get some much needed help. If you aren't? Run along, back to your t.v., and finish watching your murder mysteries instead of being in them. A few questions before I publicly announce my score: In the recording, the people talked a lot about the PCL-R and how its used, but just how useful is it when a known psychopath shows signs, visually, of being reformed, yet the PCL-R says something different about their mentality? Does it fail to be useful then? And how can you condition someone to be empathetic when they have a bare understanding, or no understanding at all, of the term? As said in the recording, how can you teach a blind person what the color red is when they can't see it? And definitions only truly help those who have experienced the subject. To me, for the first question, the PCL-R is not all that useful when it comes to re-examining "former" psychopaths, since the PCL-R factors in information already known(such as the question of the person's juvenile delinqeuncy), making it unreliable for the "reformed". And, for the second question, its not possible for a psychopath to be conditioned to be empathetic, unless they have some understanding of it before hand.Oh, and before I forget, I'm not a psychopath. Be happy.
And a quote for the road: "Ye that I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for I pack a .357 magnum." (What every gangster should quote before making his rounds, if anything.)
