About this Psychopath Test
If it’s difficult for you to control your impulses and emotions, other people complain about your erratic behavior, and you find it hard to abide by the common rules of society, you probably have psychopathy. Definition of a psychopath is based on the certain maladaptive and antisocial behavioral patents, and one’s particular perception of himself and society. In the clinical diagnostic definition, psychopathy corresponds with the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder.
This online test helps you to know if you are a psychopath. It provides you with a preliminary psychopathy assessment. If the psychopath quiz results indicate that you have psychopathy, keep in mind that this is only an initial self-screening evaluation, and the diagnosis of antisocial personality disorder has to be confirmed by a mental health professional using diagnostic tools like the psychopathy checklist (pcl-r). Even if antisocial personality disorder is one of the so-called Axis II mental disorders, which are usually life-long psychological problems that first arise in late childhood or early adolescence, some treatment approaches like psychotherapy could help psychopathic individuals how to adapt better to the social environment and change their maladaptive behavioral patterns.
