Dr Hare's Checklist for Diagnosisng the Psychopath

Hi Everyone,

Check out this article. It includes Dr Hare's checklist for diagnosing a psychopath.

http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3405700188.html

There are 20 traits listed altogether. For each one you award a score of between 0-2. Then you add up the total. The maximum score that can be given is 40 but the article explains that a score of 30 or more means a person can be diagnosed as a psychopath (by a qualified mental health professional).

Obviously, most of us here are probably not psychiatrists (I reckon) so we are just dabbling, but I still think that it is a useful article to look at and could provide clarity and extra reassurance for some. (It did for me)!
