You can't do Rorsach tests online. It's quite literally impossible. If they were giving you one and telling you that's what it was, they were, quite simply, lying. This actually goes for most psychology tests, by the way.

My answer for three of them was a bleeding head, two dogs fighting, and a towering monster bearing claws. Seriously. Those were the things that came to mind at once. I know that online test often are for entertainment, but damn.

I took a test as well.
Quote
Test Results

Sickness Quotient: 99%
WARNING: Your "Sickness Quotient" of 99% is very disturbing.

Detailed Diagnosis

Interpersonal Insights
Your sense of self-entitlement means you're probably the kind of person that pulled the wings off of butterflies when you were little. You think everyone is out to get you, and you're absolutely right. It's because you're an awful person without any redeeming qualities.

Job Performance & Attitude
Your work is of such poor quality that your manager is considering replacing you with a machine that flushes. Rather than do a one-time job that takes ten minutes, you'd work for 5 years to automate it.

Personality Insight
Your personal motto is "Dance like nobody's watching." That' just stupid. Get a better motto.

edit: I also took an online pregnancy test. I'm gonna be a daddy!

Online self diagnosis has an interest in making you worried... how else to sell you treatment or further information?

This is why you don't let GLaDOS administer the test.

Alright, I admit that the online diagnosis bots are hilariously inaccurate (hilariously), but I felt like testing it. I still have most traits of psychopathy according to this paper. It's a long read.

What is A Psychopath?

Psychopaths cannot be understood in terms of antisocial rearing or development. They are simply morally depraved individuals who represent the "monsters" in our society. They are unstoppable and untreatable predators whose violence is planned, purposeful and emotionless. The violence continues until it reaches a plateau at age 50 or so, then tapers off.

Become psychopath = Become unstoppable.

Also, not fearmongering at all.

lolololololo

I'm not so sure I'd trust a "paper" with fake references (well, some of them anyway) by people trying to convince you to buy a book any more than I'd trust a web test...

I mean, none of this is saying you AREN'T a heartless psychopath, but it's not terribly good evidence either!

DSM might be a better reference here?

I think the key thing is: Does punishment act as an inhibitor in cases where you don't think you'll get caught? Do you ever feel shame or guilt?

Those are pretty much the diagnostic criteria from what I understand. If either is true, then you aren't a psychopath.

Yeah, but as long as all that is in your hear it's cool :)

Also, I notice a pattern, I'm not that sleepy, but as soon as I take a book or a notebook to study I start incessantly yawning, it happens every few minutes and it's extremely distracting. I know the stuff is kind of boring but it can't be that boring since nothing else can make me do that with such regularity :/
Something similar happens to me too. But instead of jawning, I just feel like sleeping.

Actually everything makes me sleepy. If I arent attempting to sleep, then I am most likely sleepy. Same with thirst, except I am thirsty even while attempting to drink. At any given point in time, the answer to whetever I am sleepy or thirsty, is: "Yes."

And writing this just reminded me that I am thirty. Gonna go get a glass of milk.

The woman who wrote that article seems to know dozens of psychopaths. If a lot of people in your environment act strange, calling them all psychopaths won't solve anything.

Damn. Are there really fake resources there too? I know that wikipedia's article was filled with trolling edits, but fake papers? Now I've seen it all.

I think the key thing is: Does punishment act as an inhibitor in cases where you don't think you'll get caught? Do you ever feel shame or guilt?

If it stops me from doing the same thing again yes, but I wouldn't call that a definite yes. It really depends on the odds of being caught. If I can personally minimize the risk it's a no. Also, no shame or guilt.

Psychopaths do everything to avoid being caught, including calling everyone who no longer believes her lies a psychopath and writing papers in which she tries to convince the world that woman usually aren't psychopaths.

Do not believe her lies!

Fake papers are nothing new, especially on personal websites like that. Its not even a "paper" - its an article. Its certainly not a psychological paper.

If it stops me from doing the same thing again yes, but I wouldn't call that a definite yes. It really depends on the odds of being caught. If I can personally minimize the risk it's a no. Also, no shame or guilt.

Hmm. Well, I mean, you could be. But I guess the real question is, are you the bad kind? Do you hurt people or critters just because or out of curiosity? Emotionally manipulate people into doing what you want? Completely disregard the feelings and desires of others unless it suits your purpose?

Well... if so, stop doing that. Bad. ;)

That's a pretty psychopathic claim right there. You need some serious evidence to back up that claim mister, I know so because this one woman told me so.
