Re: Can you pass the psychopath test ??

This is quite odd because I don't really believe that one's decision to kill either five people or just one contributes to the fact of whether or not they are psychopathic. I don't get why one decision would make you a psychopath and another decision would not. I understand the 'science' behind what this man is trying to convey, but really... who gets to make that decision?

I realize it's not just the amount of people you kill, but the personal decision you make of how many people should die that's the key here. But man, really, I ask anyone who watches this video... COULD you make that decision?

As crazy (no pun intended) as this may sound, I think I'd just walk away from both situations. I don't think I have it in me to decide who lives or dies. So my rationale would be to walk away and let things happen as they were meant to happen thinking that a possible strange turn of events at the very last moment may prevent anyone from dying.

Whatever the case, I wouldn't want either outcome on my head. I may have just killed 5 death row inmates who have taken the lives of others but by flipping the switch and saving the 5, I may have just killed a woman pregnant with her 3rd child whose other children are at home waiting for her.

I wonder what the doc would say to that, if by walking away I'm psychopathic or not? Because I honestly believe that I could NOT make that decision. And I certainly couldn't deliberately push someone over the edge of a cliff, no matter what the situation. It's not up to me who lives or dies.

So I'd ask the doc - by making the decision to do nothing, what category does that put me in? Would be interesting to find out.

I'm not going there!

Psychopaths rock. The film industry would die a death without them. What about all the bad guys in books - on the TV? Nah, the more the merrier.

Don't bother with it - load of rubbish. Asking questions that make no sense.

Re: Can you pass the psychopath test ??

Yeah, the questions definitely confused me, hence my reply above.

I have an old friend from Art school days who's a psychopath.
Don't see him very often but apparently he is appalling now.
He was always pretty reckless when we were in our teens/early 20s but good fun and very witty.

Psychopaths aren't necessarily serial killers and evil people. They can be extremely charming and ambitiously like many businessmen and women and leaders of countries. They can be tremendously successful in their chosen careers, popular and charismatic too, but they lack empathy due to the way their brains are wired.

Load of tripe.. I'd say to the fat guy, "Watch this, there's going to be one hell of a crash!"
