That test doesn't take into account environment/culture. I answered at the most selfless/fair-minded level that could be possible for someone living and working in New York City. That is, someone who doesn't want to be eaten alive. And still came out 28% more psychopathetic that the average respondent. Ugh

Answering as honestly as I could: -

Your score from primary psychopathy has been calculated as 3.4. Primary psychopathy is the affective aspects of psychopathy; a lack of empathy for other people and tolerance for antisocial orientations.

Your score from secondary psychopathy has been calculated as 2.8. Secondary psychopathy is the antisocial aspects of psychopathy; rule breaking and a lack of effort towards socially rewarded behavior.

You score for primary psychopathy was higher than 82.8% of people who have taken this test.

You score for secondary psychopathy was higher than 63.38% of people who have taken this test.

If brute force isn't working, you're just not using enough.

Please Note: Any advice given comes with the caveat that nothing will be suitable for every situation.

Nice test. I liked it a lot. I answered honestly according to how I am in real life. EVE a totally different story however.

You score for primary psychopathy was higher than 16.15% of people who have taken this test.

You score for secondary psychopathy was higher than 20.5% of people who have taken this test.

[Deleted by poster. Might have been having a psychotic episode at the time. Either that, or beers took control of the keyboard. Ugh Here's maybe the most upbeat song ever made featuring a psychotic character. And it's old rasta: Delroy Wilson, "Run For Your Life" And here's Delroy even better, turning the tables and is now the downbeat rasta psycho chaser: Delroy Wilson, "Run Run"]

Your score from primary psychopathy has been calculated as 3.6. Primary psychopathy is the affective aspects of psychopathy; a lack of empathy for other people and tolerance for antisocial orientations.

Your score from secondary psychopathy has been calculated as 2.5. Secondary psychopathy is the antisocial aspects of psychopathy; rule breaking and a lack of effort towards socially rewarded behavior.

With two scores, results of the LSRP are very suitable for being plotted. Below is the distribution of how other people who have taken this test have scored.


You score for primary psychopathy was higher than 85.7% of people who have taken this test.

You score for secondary psychopathy was higher than 49.13% of people who have taken this test.

Does that mean I'm bad?

No, it's only bad if you score above 98% in both tests.

Up until recently, I had a strong belief that if an environment changed who or what I am, then maybe this idea of 'me' is too fickle and weak, and not worth hanging onto. If I'm "strong enough" then nothing should matter, right? Sort of the "get up, Trinity" feeling right at the beginning of the Matrix film.

The truth is, our bodies are fragile creations and there are so many things out in nature and amongst people that could really screw you up.. that it's very difficult to say what your breaking point is.. up until maybe you're staring at it yourself.

Psychopathy and ethics are interesting.. because they could be a sliding scale, if not a precipitous drop at some point. It's really kind of scary.. I've really never been as scared of anything as almost meeting my own breaking point.




In that sense, the test is only as accurate as a very tiny glimpse into your person.

That's what I believe. I think everyone has ASPD inherently and the severity of ASPD is determined by environmental factors.

It's no secret that a game where people can act out their sociopathic tendencies will draw such people who either desire to be that way in real life, or want to explore it because they want to feel like one. Either case scares me.

Don't kid yourselves. Even the dirtiest pirates from the birth of EVE have been carebears. They use alts to bring them goods at cheap prices and safely, rather than live with consequences of their in game actions on their main, from concord to prices

Or they could just be playing bad guys because it's allowed and fun.

maybe I'm just under-thinking something that's far more complex than I realize.

Remember mittens. The brain doesn't know the difference between virtual and real. When you tap certain pathways for behaviors or responses, you make them stronger, whether its for a video game or real life. That's why mittens messed up and said something awful in front of a giant audience.

You score for secondary psychopathy was higher than 16.44% of people who have taken this test.

I answered as my real life self, because answering the questions as my video game character would be nutty.

Doing tests like these is always kind of humorous to me. Not just personality tests but any sort of test that asks for your opinion or stance on something. More often than not I pick neutral or something close to it.

What is this, Facebook? Since when do internet tests hold any weight in reality? lol

A psychopath wouldn't take the test to begin with, let alone answer any of the questions honestly ;D

Does that apply to games such as chess, monopoly, football etc. Okay, maybe not the latter.

This test doesn't apply to video game behaviour, it applies to real life behaviour. For video game behaviour, you want the Bartle Test. It is the ONLY relevant psychological assessment for video game behaviour, and 'psychopathy' is not one of the results.

For the record, EVERYONE, absolutely everyone, displays some psychopathic and/or sociopathic traits. The disassociation from reality that causes one to fail to distinguish between fantasy consequences and real life consequences is a much stronger sign of mental instability than any video game behaviour measured on its own.

This. It's called 'othering'. "That person is behaving in a way I deem inappropriate, and I don't understand it, but instead of trying to understand it, I'm going to hate it, so there must be something wrong with them." That's literally all it amounts to. Pretending to be qualified psychoanalysts helps verify their opinion to others when they reach out for affirmation of their opinion.

Anyone with any form of psychological training knows that there are no psychopaths playing EVE


if you think you are and you play EVE then you are not a psychopath
