LOL. Came across this online psychopathy test. It should be called the "are you Donald Trump" test.

[DanTex]

It's uncanny. Every single question. The only one missing is "are you named Donald Trump". Some examples:

-If something goes wrong or turns out badly, it’s not my fault.
-I’ve gotten into legal or criminal trouble as an adult (not just a speeding or parking ticket).
-I am easily the best at what I do, bar none — nobody could ever take my place.
-I have no problem or concern in lying in order to get what I want.
-I never feel remorse, shame or guilt about something I’ve said or done.

1. "I am easily the best at what I do, bar none -- nobody could ever take my place."

There are some people to whom that legitimately applies.

[DanTex]

2. Agreed. LeBron James would answer yes to that and still he's not a sociopath.

But if you look at the test in its entirety, I don't know anyone who would score as high as Trump, or even close.

[jberryhill]

3. Well, there you go

So what you are saying is that Trump is easily the best at what he does, bar none, and nobody is "even close".

5. Yes, at lying, criminal activity, and adultery.

What else does he do?

[DanTex]

7. No. I'm saying that Trump would describe himself that way.

That's the what the sociopathy test is judging, not whether it's true or not. Trump would answer "yes" even though he's not.

LeBron James actually is (or was) the best, and at his peak there arguably wasn't anyone "even close". But I don't even know if LeBron James would actually describe himself that way.

6. Psycopathy is an illness. Of course there ARE people who might fit with some of the "tells'' of

mental illness but the final determinent is judging folks by their behavior... By that criteria then tRUMP
IS a psychopath while LeBron is not.

[DanTex]

8. Also, it's not about actually being the best, it's about describing oneself that way.

I don't even know if LeBron James would answer "This is definitely me" to the question of "I am easily the best at what I do, bar none — nobody could ever take my place. He might, because in his case, at least at one point in his career, it was true.

But Trump would. And also the rest of the questions.

9. .

[DanTex]

10. Yes, Ali would clearly score one point on that test.

That's why there are more questions.

[unblock]

4. that's why they ask more than one question

there are also plenty of people who have gotten into legal trouble who are not psychopaths.

but if you answer a lot of the questions yes, the odds of you not being a psychopath go down considerably.
