Reddit mentions of Psychopath Test

I really recommend reading the Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Psychopath-Test-Jon-Ronson/dp/0330492268). He talks about meeting psychopaths, and the ways in which they're different from normal people.

You should consider reading The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson if you haven't already. Hell, everyone should, it's not a big book and it's a great read!

This book is a depressing, funny, weird and interesting look into psychopaths. It says that sociopath is used in the US mainly, and psychopath across the rest of the world, but essentially they mean the same thing.

Surprisingly there is actually a list!

I'm definitely not qualified to talk about this at all, as i've literally started reading a book which talks quite a lot about identifying psychopaths (same as a sociopath apparently - used interchangeably as i've read), so this is all I know from the last couple of days.

But there is a list called The Hare Psychopathy Checklist, which is made up of 20 different traits, all of which you're scored either 0, 1 or 2 on. So, psychopaths are usually scoring above 30 out of 40. The book i'm reading is really good, if you're interested it's called - quite fittingly - The Psychopath Test
