This quiz is designed to help give you some idea about whether or not you may be a psychopath or sociopath, or have psychopathic tendencies. This quiz is not meant to diagnose psychopathy or tell you definitively whether or not you’re a psychopath. But it will give you a pretty good idea, based upon the research. For each item, indicate how much you agree or disagree with the statement. Take your time and answer truthfully for the most accurate results.

This online screening is not a diagnostic tool. Only a trained medical professional, like a doctor or mental health professional, can help you determine the next best steps for you.

A person suffering from psychopathy is something that mental health professionals might typically diagnose as antisocial personality disorder. Someone with this kind of personality disorder typically experiences four (4) or more of the following symptoms: failure to conform to social norms; deceitfulness; impulsivity; irritability and aggressiveness; a reckless disregard for other people’s safety; consistent irresponsibility; and a lack of remorse.

Many people confuse psychopathy with sociopathy. These are pop psychology terms whose meaning are not well-defined by researchers, but you can understand the differences between a psychopath and a sociopath here.

Treatment of Antisocial Personality Disorder

While psychopathy doesn’t completely align with antisocial personality disorder, the two are similar enough to suggest treatment options might also be similar. You can learn more about the treatment options here.

The Hare Psychopathy Scorecard (PCL-R) is one of the most well-known questionnaires used to determine the level of psychopathy. Usually, it is used to detect psychopathic or antisocial tendencies in a person. Psychopaths ruthlessly manipulate others using charisma, deceit, and cruelty to achieve their goals. This test relies on the Hare Psychopathy Scorecard, but also uses factor analyses.

Do you or someone you know have psychopathy traits? For each following statement, indicate how much it concerns you or the person you have chosen.

Question 1 of 20

This person does not have realistic long-term goals (he just goes with the flow or pursues unfulfilled dreams).

Doesn't apply. Partially concerned / don't know. Concerns.

The IDR-PCT Test © is the property of IDR Labs International. The primary study is by FBI counsel and criminal psychologist Robert D. Hare. The IDR-PCT uses Hare's research, however this test is not directly related to this researcher and is not identical to Hare's Psychopathy Scorecard (PCL-R). This test is in no way affiliated with Robert Hare, his colleagues or their respective institutions. This test does not infringe any proprietary rights.

The Psychopathy Scorecard is widely used to detect signs of psychopathy. The questionnaire does not cover all possible types of psychopathy and is not intended for respondents who are trying to get around the system and go beyond human psychology. Contrary to popular belief, the psychopathy score sheet is not the only method for identifying signs of psychopathy. According to another theoretical source, which is used in such psychiatric manuals as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the results of the psychopathy scorecard are largely consistent with narcissistic, emotionally unstable and antisocial personality types. To learn more about these personality types, please take our Personality Disorder Quiz.

Although this test is designed to detect signs of psychopathy, it should not be confused with other similar tests developed by alternative organizations. However, all tests of this type are designed to determine the level of a person's psychopathy according to research in the Western world. The IDR-PCT © test is the property of IDR Labs International. The primary research belongs to criminal psychologist Robert D. Hare. The developers of this free test are graduates who have had experience with numerous personality tests and have also worked professionally with personality typology tests. The results of our online psychopathy test are provided "as is" and should not be construed as providing professional or certified advice of any kind.
