Test your psychopathic traits - Channel 4 Psychopath Night

Channel 4 are running a fascinating feature on the psychopathic mind.
Psychopathy is a condition that causes people to display anti-social behaviour, lack of empathy and remorse, and fearless dominance. Find out more here.

Everyone has these characteristics to some degree - take the test and find out where you sit on the spectrum.

Take the test here.

I took the test myself...

YOUR SCORE - 12%

You are warm and empathic with a heightened awareness of social responsibility and a strong sense of conscience. You like to carefully weigh up the pros and cons of a situation before you act and are generally averse to taking risks. You are very much a ‘people person’ and dislike conflict. ‘Do unto others…’ are your watchwords. But, although you avoid hurting others, those residing at the higher end of the psychopathic spectrum might not be as considerate, so stay vigilant to avoid being hurt unnecessarily.


A fairly typical result, I imagine, for a counsellor and a novelist...

There's also a spot the psychopath game here.
