Have you been diagnosed as such by a qualified professional? The traits listed in the article are also listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Psychopathy_Checklist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Psychopathy_Checklist - do you have any contrary sources?
Assuming you don't, then if the terms listed don't fit you, you're not psycopathic because that term is defined to mean 'one who displays those traits'. Disagreeing with that is as meaningless as saying that not all brunettes have brown hair.
- anonymoushn 15y agoUnder PCL-R a person with a 30 or more "points" (ratings from 0-2 regarding each characteristic) is regarded as a psychopath, so assuming that PCL-R is the definitive definition of psychopathy, we must still accept that a psychopath is not necessarily also a pathological liar and an impulsive individual. It seems silly to use PCL-R as the definition of psychopathy for the general population, however, because "Revocation of conditional release" is something that one can only experience after being institutionalized or sent to gaol.
- danparsonson 15y agoTo re-iterate: have you been diagnosed psycopathic by a qualified mental-health professional?
- anonymoushn 15y agoI have never even spoken to qualified mental-health professional while he or she was at work.
