However, given that most people aren’t psychopaths/sociopaths and given we don’t really have any evidence to the contrary, I think the odds point to him not being a sociopath/psychopath.įor a version of an online psychopathy/dark-triad test there is one here:Īh, I have a well-researched psychopathic character in my novel (embryonic engineering experiment).
