How do I know if I am a psychopath?
If you are wondering whether you are a psychopath, the good news is that you likely are not one. That is because genuine psychopaths have little interest in the topic. But, in the event you want a little more reassurance, here is a quick test:
- Do you ever sincerely apologize, owning responsibility, and ensuring the other party knows you are sorry?
- Does it bother you when/if you realize that you negatively impacted someone else?
- Do you appreciate your conscience, and act to make things right, to clear your conscience, when you know you have done the wrong thing?
- Do you ensure that others are made whole if you have injured or negatively impacted them?
- When you remember that someone has been negatively impacted by you, do you ensure you make things right with them?
- Are healthy and reasonable relationships more important than winning, obtaining the objective, or getting what you feel is yours?
- Will you inconvenience yourself to help another person, even if there is nothing in it for you?
- Does personal integrity matter to you, especially as it relates to how you have treated another person who trusted you, invested time in you, gave of themselves, and extended themselves on your behalf?
- If you said something unkind, hurtful, or detrimental to another person, do you make it a priority to quickly humble yourself and make things right?
- Are you willing to accept less than you feel you deserve if it will benefit someone who is lower than you?
If you answered ‘Yes’ to all the above, you can relax knowing that you are not a Psychopath.
