I ran the actual forums through a test.

Results

Looking for a FOS test to prove my other point.

Paradoxically I care about these numbers P

Nothing meaningful can be derived from this to be honest.
A character is not a full representation of a player's psyche, it is merely a construct assembled out of bits and pieces and projected into the framework provided by the game. Same with any RPG to be honest.
That's not even touching on the absurdity of applying RL morality to actions taken within said fictional framework.

Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

Perhaps an extension or extrapolation of the player in a more-or-less lawless society.
Compared with what my characters in WoW , or in a P&P cyberpunk RPG got up to, all mine here are positively angelic. Pirate
It's a chance of examining "What if?" as well as good fun.

"Secondary psychopathy is the antisocial aspects of psychopathy; rule breaking and a lack of effort towards socially rewarded behavior"

"It is no great sign of mental health to be well-adjusted to a sick society." - Krishnamurti.

These tests in general and this test in particular are of little value. The few psychos i've ever met would game the answers instinctively because one behaviour pattern they all shared was, given a choice whether to be straight or evasive, they would always go for the tricky option.
You catch critters like that by putting them in a situation where lying causes a loss. They can't help it.
This modern respect for these failed ghosts is a fad symptomatic of flaws in our way of life.

It might have changed but it used to be a common belief in the social sciences that 30%+ have psychopathic potential.
There is usually a sliding scale of justification that is used to protect egos.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Well, if I answer it as I would in real life, I'm right in the middle of the bell curve, though I am slightly more anti-social than average (which I knew).

Answered as my Eve character, I should probably considered a rabid, slavering hound of destruction, and shot on sight.

As stated to a fare once, "there's only a bunch of imaginary laws and a torch bearing, pitchfork wielding angry mob between you and I taking a one way trip to a hog farm right now... so shut up and enjoy the ride".

Is this supposed to be answered based on real life or gameplay considerations?

It appears, and this is very reassuring, that I am completely normal, which should ease any disquiet.

Half and half results, or thereabouts.

Very comforting indeed.

I chose both, separately, as they are two different things.
