What's Your Score?


We were watching some Adam Curtis documentaries on YouTube and iPlayer last night ('Bitter Lake', 'Century of the Self' and 'The Power of Nightmares') and stumbled on a documentary about psychopaths.

There's a scoreboard that mental health professionals use to measure psychopathy called Hare's Psychopathy Checklist. Essentially it attempts to measure your ability to empathise. Score over 30/40 and you exhibit potentially destructive psychopathic tendencies; I scored 14 while Hay scored 4.
