I took the test when I found it on my friends wall and I do not now what score my friend got but I got 96%. Me and my friend have same behavior and we play the game together. I found myself ok but for others I am dangerous only when they do not understand my feels. Any way share your score and tell me whether i am alone or not.

Most likely you wouldn’t care about Lemmy’s opinion if you were a sociopath. Those tests are not meant to tell you — a non professional, if you’re a sociopath.

If you’re worried about your mental health, seek professional help and in the meanwhile avoid online testing completely.

I just took the test and there are a lot of questions without very good in-between options, which can skew the test quite a bit. I scored low, but I also knew what each answer would mean for the score while taking the test. Basically it's not a very good test. You might have tendencies, but only a qualified doctor can diagnose you. There are very few true psychopaths in society.

^ Exactly this! Looking over the questions there's a lot with impulse control. As someone with severe ADHD (inattentive) with a dash of ASD impulse control isn't one of my strong features, which skews the results.

Agree, if you have doubts or issues that a qualified professional can help get to the bottom of it.
