Which YaHookans Are Probably Psychopaths?

Hare Psychopathy Checklist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quote:

In contemporary research and clinical practice, Robert D. Hare's Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) is the psycho-diagnostic tool most commonly used to assess psychopathy.[1] Because an individual's score may have important consequences for his or her future, and because the potential for harm if the test is used or administered incorrectly is considerable, Hare argues that the test should only be considered valid if administered by a suitably qualified and experienced clinician under controlled and licensed conditions.[2][3] Hare receives a royalty on licensed use of the test.[4]

Factor 1: Personality "Aggressive narcissism"
Glibness/superficial charm
Grandiose sense of self-worth
Pathological lying
Cunning/manipulative
Lack of remorse or guilt
Shallow affect (genuine emotion is short-lived and egocentric)
Callous/lack of empathy
Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

Factor 2: Case history "Socially deviant lifestyle".
Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
Parasitic lifestyle
Poor behavioral control
Lack of realistic long-term goals
Impulsivity
Irresponsibility
Juvenile delinquency
Early behavior problems
Revocation of conditional release
Traits not correlated with either factor
Promiscuous sexual behavior
Many short-term marital relationships
Criminal versatility
Acquired behavioural sociopathy/sociological conditioning (a newly identified trait i.e. a person relying on sociological strategies and tricks to deceive)

I'm sure a few of us fit the model....

If not, do you know anyone who does? You be the diagnostician!

"Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom"

I own this symptom! But a psychopath? Nah man, I smoke too much pot and get WAY too mellow to be a psychopath.

alot of people have that as there symptom... always bored, feeling like something has to be happening, but what i think is if you have had bad case of it, that causes you to think, making the person innitially going insane over a very long point in time. they think about the bad shit in there life sort of makes them a psycho to begin with my friend says...

BilboBudDy · 05-19-2011, 10:03 PM

i mean im a very mellow guy too for the same reason, but try to get up and find something to do... smoke with buds, kick at the park, long bike rides, there is just so much to cure boredom =)

My understanding is, if you are worried that you might be one, you aren't.

Sir-Ex · 05-19-2011, 11:03 PM

What if you're not worried, and instead you just casually wonder??

SmokeaJoint · 05-19-2011, 11:04 PM

What if you look at that list and think "I knew those bastards were watching me!"

I could assign a lot of those traits to myself at different points in my life, and some of them in my life currently.

So, yes, I am a psychopath.

But not a dangerous one.
