From CNN:
"You may not know for sure until you listen to this week’s CNN Profile of Oxford University research psychologist Kevin Dutton.
Dutton is author of the new book “The Wisdom of Psychopaths.â€
As he explains in this interview, not all psychopaths are violent. In fact, there are many highly functioning psychopaths. One may even be your boss. And you can’t judge if a person is a psychopath by simply looking at him, or even from a brief conversation.
Dutton maintains that many people have great success in highly skilled fields not in spite of but BECAUSE of certain psychopathic traits, including a British neurosurgeon he interviewed.
Dutton may have been destined to study psychopaths. His father was one. Not a violent psychopath. A charming one, as so many are. Wait until you hear Dutton describe how his father once conned a restaurant full of patrons."

Short test
Long test
I tried taking the short test, but it crashed on me. I hope that's not any indicator of the results.
