Results:
From 0 - 11 points:
You are a person who finds a clear conscience to be the most important and you make no compromises with your moral principles. You take only measured risks and rarely act impulsively. You prefer to weigh the pros and cons of any situation, instead of going with the flow. You dislike conflicts and try to avoid tense situations. You are far from being a psychopath, others know you as an honest and caring person.
From 12 - 23 points:
There is a hint of recklessness about you and you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, as long as it's for cause you can benefit from. You know how to defend yourself and aren't worried about having arguments with others. But unlike complete psychopaths, you do have a boundary and you would not humiliate or destroy the successes of someone else just so you could satisfy a single one of your wishes.
From 24 - 33 points:
You are a rough person, who is unaffected by the suffering of others. You're capable of going through anything and anyone to achieve what you have in mind. You follow the motto "the ends justify the means" and aren't so keen on forging friendships or having a long love relationship. The most important thing for you is to satisfy your own desires and this makes you a psychopath.
