Brendan We've wrapped up our first read and we're moving right into our next selection. For May we'll be reading Jon Ronson's The Psychopath Test. Join us in delving into the world of psychopathy and what it means in our culture.

If you'd like here are two versions of the Hare test which is the bases of much of the discussion in the book:

Feel free to share or keep your results private!


Brendan To walk the walk I'll be up front and say I got a 10 on the first test and an 8 on the second.


Bill (skeletongue) | 9 comments Awesome! Full disclosure: First test - 13. Second test - 7. I guess I'm not a psychopath... Or am I lying?


Jess (alleycatastrophe) 16 and 8 for me.


Jess (alleycatastrophe) So I've started the book and couldn't remember why the story of Tony in Broadmoor sounded so familiar... It was presented on an episode of "This American Life" I listened to awhile back. I still wonder about him.


Brendan Yeah that This American Life episode is where I first heard about the book and got interested in reading it. I haven't started it yet, I'm still trying to decide if I want to read it or do the audio book which is supposed to be a great production.


Bill (skeletongue) | 9 comments Well, I blew through the audio book in a matter of days. Really enjoyed it. I wonder if anyone else from Unpulped will take the tests you posted here.

Bill Buchanan | 2 comments I got 25 on the first and 21 on the second. I'll definitely have to check out the book. When is the meeting?


Brendan The meeting's on the 8th, we still have plenty of copies of the book at the library.

Bill Buchanan | 2 comments I'd say I'm not a psychopath, but I don't know if you'll believe me.

Bill (skeletongue) | 9 comments Wow, I don't know... The questions in that test were so badly written and the grammar so mangled that it makes me distrust it. And when I was done answering the questions it automatically tallied my score and returned, simply, with the answer: "none". None what? I guess I'm none psychotic (I doubt my wife would agree. Heh.).
