Bob Hare’s Psychopathy Checklist

we borrowed a book from the library. “The Psychopath Test” by Jon Ronson (616.8582 RON).

ever thought that an OC of yours is psycho, and can’t actually pinpoint why? Want to create a realistic psychopathic character?

The Psychopath Test, Chapter 4, Page 97.

  1. Glibness / Superficial charm
  2. Grandiose sense of self-worth
  3. Need of stimulation / Proneness to boredom
  4. Pathological lying (Lying is a part of interaction with others)
  5. Conning / Manipulative
  6. Lack of remorse or guilt
  7. Shallow affect (Unable to experience a normal range and depth of emotions)
  8. Callous / Lack of empathy
  9. Parasitic lifestyle (Habitually relying on or exploiting others)
  10. Poor behavioural controls
  11. Promiscuous sexual behaviour
  12. Early behavioural problems
  13. Lack of realistic long-term goals
  14. Impulsivity
  15. Irresponsibility
  16. Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
  17. Many short-term marital relationships
  18. Juvenile delinquency
  19. Revocation of conditional release (Does not change ways after punishment)
  20. Criminal versatility (Able to commit range of crimes)

The test is scored upon 40. Each point is scored on a scale of 0 (does not apply), 1 (applies somewhat), 2 (fully applies). Having a score of above 30 is psychopathic, normal people score less than 10.

endnote:

If you recognize some of those traits in yourself, if you are feeling a creeping anxiety about it, that means you are not one.
The Psychopath Test, Chapter 4, Page 114.

basically, a psychopath has no ability to feel fear or anxiety: their brain’s amygdala is screwed up. (That’s why threats/punishment are ineffective on them.)

fantroll for sgStuck’s Alternian Hunger Games. Drawn while being bored on the bus. Ball-point pen yay!!
things we noticed about our art after the crazy spring semester:
it got overall shittier, by the caveload.
spontaneous drawing got easier, ie. drawing while standing/queuing, drawing while on train, drawing while on bus, drawing in the dark lecture room, etc.
same-face syndrome avoided, but facial anatomy out-of-whack neeways.
forgot how to use stylus.
what is pencil? This strange grey substance…

Everyone has their own little internal world – a secret garden only they can enter. Each world follows its own internal logic – individuality. And the logic of one world means nothing in another. Understanding other people isn’t hard… it’s impossible.

photography assignment, week 3.
my mum’s orchids. They look like ghost-possessed flowers, with the weird flash that makes them glow against a dark background.
amusingly, this photo was almost taken completely by accident. I forgot to turn off the flash, didn’t properly adjust the shutter speed and ISO, etc. Fortunately i didn’t delete it immediately, instead loading them into the computer first.
