You'll no doubt be glad to know...
Jun. 11th, 2011 07:17 pm...that I fail The Psychopath Test (A Journey Through the Madness Industry by Jon Ronson.)
I was already pretty sure I'd fail after seeing his spot on the Daily Show (there is a 15 second ad before it starts, sorry) but it was good to read through the actual test, worry like hell because some of the psychopath traits match ADD symptoms, then find out that if you read the list and worry, you're not a psychopath. Psychopaths don't worry about much of anything and hello! You seem to be dead on the ground there.
Have only read the bits about imprisoned psychopaths so far, but a great deal of the rest of it deals with the people who are running around loose and in many cases, running the world. I can't wait to start diagnosing our nation's leadership!
