I don't know if anyone watched Psychopath Night on Channel 4 last night, exploring how their minds work,no surprise that Bankers came top,although i thought it would have been politicians giving the complete lack of empathy in some of them
Anyway on the C4 site there is a test to see where you sit on that spectrum:

I scored 6%

67% here
Its my contempt for those who have their hand out all the time , that was my undoing .

42%, it seems to fit me but I don't know how much of that is the Barnum effect.
Also a lot of the questions deserve the answer "It depends" as an initial response.

It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.

I got 42..
Though your conscience is in the right place you also have a pragmatic streak and generally aren’t afraid to do your own dirty work! You’re no shrinking violet - but no daredevil either. You generally have little trouble seeing things from another person’s perspective but, at the same time, are no pushover. ‘Everything in moderation – including moderation’ might sum up your approach to life.

Second time i got 100.. You can play hardball with the best of them! You know what you want and are not afraid to go for it – even if it means bending the rules occasionally and putting a few noses out of joint on the way. Nothing fazes you. You are decisive, self-confident and pretty much up for anything. You are a ‘means-to-an-end’ person. For you, it’s not necessarily a matter of right or wrong, but of what gets the job done. ‘Bring it on’ is your mantra, but to help those around you keep their heads, you should learn some tricks to help you temper your self-satisfying tendencies...

) score 0.. 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.

Ditto - I'm pretty contemptuous of cheating scroungers aswell:

Interesting that they put "puppy" and 'kitten", not 'dog' or 'cat'.
Who in heavens name wants a 'puppy' obviously no one who has had to train one lol
I think I could be showing my age and impatience.

no surprise here - 73%
I always score high in these tests

I got 6%. I was fascinated by this programme and wished i had gone into this sort of career, ha ha ha ha . I dont mean a phsycopath LOL. There are so many different disorders and i find it so interesting. I did think i would get a higher score and i was honest. I can be quite cold as i have got older as i have been hurt a lot by people,,, those people would get a higher score LOL. im a nice person after all. awwwwww.
