[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 675394, member: 1550"] I can't imagine how you'd score high on sociopathy, Copa. Some people have trouble taking that test. It's so long. I have taken it three times and sort of just put down what I felt the most and once it came normal with depression (this was when I was in a psychiatric hospital for ten weeks and I was terrified how I would fare and tried to be very honest) and the other two times it came back completely normal and I have issues...I was surprised it came back normal...lol. But it was true that I was not depressed the second two times I took that d***** 600 question test. Ugh. Never again. I think, based on the fact that this young man defies rules, he could be deep in addiction. That can cause sociopathic behavior. He will have to get clean before anyone can diagnose him with any real understanding. It is NOT a good trait to think that rules are to be broken though. Many of our DCs think so. I don't think t hat this makes them all sociopaths. I believe it depends on how far they go and whether or not they feel bad. To truly understand Sociopaths I highly recommend a very interesting book, "Without Conscience" by Dr. Robert Hare. Fascinating and sheds light on what a psychopath truly is. And what they do. Copa, you are NOT a sociopath!!!! It is about not having any conscience and not being able to truly love other people...and that's not you. Tests, like psychiatrists, can be wrong too. [/QUOTE]
