This list is from "Profile of a Sociopath". Is is a pretty good list of sociopathic indicators. However, getting a potential sociopath to admit to having any of the characteriestics is almost impossible. Use it to personally evaluate the person in question, and not to confront the sociopath with it as the latter is pretty much a worthless cause.

  • Glibness/Superficial Charm
  • Manipulative and Conning
  • Grandiose Sense of Self
  • Pathological Lying
  • Lack of Remorse, Shame or Guilt
  • Shallow Emotions
  • Incapacity for Love
  • Need for Stimulation
  • Callousness/Lack of Empathy
  • Poor Behavioral Controls/Impulsive Nature
  • Early Behavior Problems/Juvenile Delinquency
  • Irresponsibility/Unreliability
  • Promiscuous Sexual Behavior/Infidelity
  • Lack of Realistic Life Plan/Parasitic Lifestyle
  • Criminal or Entrepreneurial Versatility
  • Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them
  • Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
  • Authoritarian
  • Secretive
  • Paranoid
  • Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
  • Conventional appearance
  • Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
  • Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life
  • Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
  • Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim
  • Incapable of real human attachment to another
  • Unable to feel remorse or guilt
  • Narcissism, grandiosity (self-importance not based on achievements)

Is there a test to determine if you are a sociopath?

Plenty of tests on the net. But to be honest if you're actually a sociopath, you don't need a test, you know it from a very young age. By way of example - When you were a kid and you saw something which was supposedly upsetting, did you cry because you actually cared and was upset ... or because you knew you were meant to cry, so you did, even though you felt nothing.
