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.

The social workers and psychologists at the Kingswood secure unit managed to convince my mum that my brother behaved the way he did because he was a single child living in a house with 3 other siblings...it was her fault that he was the way he was because they chose to have more kids...brother being the devious person he is was happy to reinforce that view.
I'm trying to figure if this was before or after he killed my sisters canary in front of me in spite because he had fallen out with her...well when I say kill what he did was walk out into the garden on a cold day with the animal in his hand and a glass of whisky in the other, and dunk its head in it. He then announced that alcohol dilates the blood vesssels in the lungs and the bird would get pneumonia ...it died a couple of days later of this.
Apparently you don't have bad kids, you only have bad parents....

But if you were a psychopath, presumably you wouldn't care about getting a lower score.

Does a psychopath realise they are a psychopath?
They will do once they fill out the questionnaire and see their score.

In my experience, the opposite is the case.
If he felt slighted by anyone, he would brood on it for days or months before extracting revenge..be that seeing someone in the street 6 months after they had words (he would not have neccessarily responded at the time), and just attack them without warning.
The overriding factor was that he really didn't care about the consequences, and had no remorse for his actions....he still doesn't

I would guess that a psychopath would lie (as a result of self-delusion) and therefore that would affect the score they receive.
I am reminded of an extreme Control Freak I once knew. He could not see and/or acknowledge that he was a control freak towards the highest end of the scale. Or if he did, very rarely, acknowledge his control freakiness, then he thought his controlling actions were for other people's improvement.

Surely a psychopath wouldn't care if 'his controlling actions were for other people's improvement'?
I worked for a psychopath once. He clearly didn't give a monkeys about other people. The only way they could be 'improved' was either by collaborating with his plans for self-enhancement or disappearing from his life by whatever means it took. He disappeared from my life when he tried to get me sacked and got sacked himself in the process.

Yes, I agree Asterix, that a psychopath would not care about his actions. I was drawing, erroneously it seems, a comparison to control freaks, with their delusions of grandeur. Do psychopaths regard other people as "little people who are their play things?"

They are only interested in helong others if it makes themselves feel good...it is the same as them not helping others...the benefit to others is irrelevant really.

I'm no expert, but was he ever actually diagnosed as a psychopath? He sounds like a nasty piece of work, but not all such are actually psychopaths. As I understand it, one of the defining hallmarks of a psychopath is a total indifference to others, either the people themselves or their opinions. A charge of psychopathy might well trigger an angry denial from a nasty piece of work; a psychopath, I suspect, would just shrug their shoulders.
