StarMountainKid Posted November 10, 2012 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The radio program on the page is interesting. Update: An earlier version of this story provided links to questionnaire's from the author you could take online to measure yourself. The links are currently not working and will be replaced once the author's site is operational again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-C Posted November 10, 2012 Author #6 Share Posted November 10, 2012 The radio program on the page is interesting. [/i] Yes the interview was good, and his books sound interesting as well, on psychopaths and con artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarMountainKid Posted November 10, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I wonder what the psychology is of people who fall for con artist psychopaths. I don't fall into that category, I'm too skeptical or suspicious of people's motives, and I'm not impressed by charm and charisma. I know how to say "no" and stick to it. Maybe this is a result of my street-wise experiences, or maybe this is a psychopathic symptom in itself. The it takes one to know one thingy. ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-C Posted November 10, 2012 Author #8 Share Posted November 10, 2012 @StarMountainKid, good question! According to Hollywood you can con a con! They make money on it. And unrelated, According to Dutton those who suffer with anxiety issues are at the opposite end of the spectrum from psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-C Posted November 10, 2012 Author #9 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I like how the word psychopath has lost all meaning. I thought he had pretty clear qualities of a psychopath. It you mean that not all psychopaths are violent, was the violent only psychopath a definition of society (Hollywood, media) or science? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-C Posted November 10, 2012 Author #10 Share Posted November 10, 2012 This includes the quiz, now http://cnnradio.cnn.com/2012/11/09/cnn-profiles-the-psychopath-detector/?hpt=hp_c2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ouija ouija Posted November 10, 2012 #11 Share Posted November 10, 2012 My score was LOW: 7 out of 33 so you can all come out from your hiding places . QuiteContrary: you quote Dutton as saying if you suffer from anxiety disorders(which I do),then you are on the opposite end of the scale to the psychopath ..... fine ..... but he also mentions in a Tweet that psycopaths often have a poor sense of smell. I have NO sense of smell!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-C Posted November 10, 2012 Author #21 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) 4/33 But, I hate tests like this. I can always think of exceptions to the questions and that frustrates me when selecting an answer. So, I guess that just proves how indecisive I am, plus my anxiety issues, a low score is probably correct. On the other hand, my dog scored pretty high. I'll be sleeping with one eye open from now on. Edited November 10, 2012 by QuiteContrary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
