Sociopathy test

Sociopathy is an informal term for Antisocial Personality Disorder. Accordingly, a sociopath is someone suffering from this disorder. Interestingly, it’s not often the sociopath who suffers, but rather those around them who do, and quite frequently at that. Sociopathic behavior is characterized by a lack of empathy for others, a propensity for deceit, and manipulation to achieve personal goals.

A sociopath believes themselves to be superior to others, often behaves arrogantly and haughtily, and sees repentance merely as a part of the necessary act they put on. Such individuals may act impulsively and confidently, unafraid to take risks or make mistakes.

Paradoxically, this combination of personality traits often makes a sociopath extremely attractive to the opposite sex, which they exploit fully.

It is commonly believed that sociopaths possess an above-average IQ, but this has not been substantiated by serious research.

Could I be a sociopath? If you’re asking yourself this question, you’ve likely noticed some sociopathic traits in your behavior. Estimates suggest that anywhere from 1% to 4% of the global population suffers from Antisocial Personality Disorder to some degree, meaning millions of people could be affected. You might be one of them.

This test is specifically designed to assess the likelihood of having this disorder based on the main symptoms common to sociopaths. The test is recommended for individuals aged 18 and older.
