Are you a Psychopath?

It got me right - but then again so do most personality profiles.

You COULD be a psychopath
Sometimes you are a little distant from other people. You are no stranger to difficult times and a little depression, but overall, you are fairly friendly, outgoing and enjoy the company of others. You don't like to be on your own too much, you are very empathic, and you do feel bad when you see someone in need (heck, you might even help others from time to time!)
Don't worry about your potential to become a psychopath, as long as you keep yourself surrounded with good people and a healthy lifestyle, you will be fine!
 
I did a personality disorder test the other day... I scored very high in all fields, so that makes me perfectly balanced. :D
 
You like to speak with other people, work, travel and learn. You don't feel caged in your daily life, and you are always there for others.

Almost completely wrong. I don't feel caged in my daily life and I like to learn, but the rest is rubbish. I'm such a loner that the only other person who comes into my house is the person who does the annual service on my boiler and I only allow that because it's a good idea to have it regularly serviced. I haven't travelled more than a couple of miles from my home in more than a decade and don't want to. I dislike working and do it solely because it's essential for living. I don't want to harm people and will avoid doing so, but I don't feel any strong connection to others.

I tried to answer truthfully, but maybe I'm such a psycho that I was unknowingly lying on the test :)

Maybe it's because I'm civilised and social for intellectual reasons more than emotional ones. I like the concept of fairness and I like the concept of a civilised society and I benefit from living in one, so it's in my own interests to act in a civilised and social way even though I'd rather live alone on an island. Even if I did, I'd still need a civilised society for electricity, medical facilities and not having to fight to defend my life and possessions. The more I study history, the more I value modern civilisation and the multitude of benefits it brings.

I feel sorry for you :(

The best times are always with company!

For you. I'm not you. My best times are always on my own.

You don't feel sorry for me. You feel sorry for yourself projected onto me.

It's human nature - we perceive reality through the filter of our own minds, so it's extremely easy to think we're judging someone else's life when in fact we're judging our own interpretation of how we think we'd feel in those circumstances.

That's why the "walk a mile in their shoes" idea is flawed. It's an unintentionally good metaphor because people don't always have the same feet. Walking in someone else's shoes is likely to be worse for you than it is for them because their shoes are likely to be a wrong size for you. In this case, imagine I have size 9 feet and you have size 12 feet - my shoes are fine for me to walk a mile in and your shoes are fine for you to walk a mile in, but we'd both be rather uncomfortable walking a mile in each other's shoes.

Can confirm, psychopath.
 
I got complete opposite

A psychopath? You?! Come on!

You are the nicest, most happy-go-lucky person out there!
You always have a smile on your face, you always have positive thoughts, you LOVE helping others and surrounding yourself with friends and family. What are you even taking this quiz for?
Go find out which love song was actually written about you: http://bit.ly/1qi127d
 
I failed. I can see why as I have less time for stupid people these days and I feel like I couldn't care less what they think or say. Oh well, better get my alibis straight in readiness!

I did the same test a while ago and was okay.

meh.. I don't mind being alone either! these test are just BS imo!
 
Umm we're a little scared to say this but ok, here we go: You didn't pass the psychopath test.

You are not a very social person, you prefer being alone in your apartment, doing your own thing, with no intervention from the outside world. You are not a very empathic person, but you don't see that as a problem, you see that as an advantage!
Our advice to you is to try to be more social (without kidnapping anyone!), and see how you feel, you might like it!
