Socialised Psychopath test

The following questionnaire is based on research and experiences of socialised psychopaths. For each trait, decide if it applies to the person you suspect may be a socialised psychopath, fully, partially or not at all.

Obviously it's not so accurate for testing yourself, but if you want to give it a go, try to think how a normal person would answer this test on your behalf.
