psychopath night

A series on Channel 4 about psychopaths. Fascinating. There's even a quiz in the web page to measure your psychopathic tendencies.

1 in a 100 of us is a psychopath, I'm only 18% psychopath. Damn that empathy.

They are saying that thr number one profession for psychopaths is banking, then lawyering, then the media.

Re: psychopath night

oooh let me find that poll - I used to be a banker and if you believe star signs and all that shizzz, as a Libran, a lawyer was apparently a job that I would have been well suited for (lack of intellect and unwillingness to study got in the way there).

So on that basis I'm a prime candidate to kill lots of people :thumbup:

Oh, sorry i meant to give the link.

The programme is saying that psychopathic traits can be useful especially in a crisis, quick decision making, emtional detachment, thrill seeking. They are good at charm and persuasion but low in empathy. Manipulative.

I wouldn't rate that quiz very high. The definition of psychopathy in Abnormal Psychology and Modern Life had a different kitten question. 27%
:D

Re: psychopath night

The results section is interesting those with higher psychopath scores prefer to readThe Financial Times, The Starvor the Sun. Low scores read the Guardian

You should redo the test. From your postings on here it should be much higher.
