Psychopathic Trait Tendency Assessment (PTTA)
This evaluation measures an individual's potentially psychopathic personality traits. It measures four different clusters of acknowledged psychopathic traits, and has a scoring system to measure if an individual meets enough of the criteria to acknowledge how much their personality is affected by each cluster of psychopathy. The evaluation also makes the distinction between each cluster being a primary personality tendency or a secondary one if indeed an individual displays enough traits for a cluster on a consistent basis.
This test does not evaluate whether an individual is a psychopath or not. It simply measure how their personality measures up to researched psychopathic features. The criteria, thresholds, and clusters are derived from the works and research of Hare, Millon, and the DSM IV.
Scoring System
Each trait has a max score of 4. There is no "3" in the scoring system, due to the severity of difference of a pathological trait, and a learned and utilized trait due to environmental adaptation necessities.*
0 - manifests rarely if at all
1 - manifests occasionally
2 - manifests frequently
4 - is an ever-present pathological manifestation in the personality of the person and is rarely if ever not utilized
*Examples of this would be when a person lives in a life-situation where classically psychopathic traits are needed to survive and thrive. This usually applies to hostile or high-stress work-environments for the likes of soldiers, career criminals, police, emergency responders, doctors/nurses, et cetera.

Assign a score to each trait based on the scoring system above. Add up the total for each cluster.

Each core personality type represents a cluster of traits typically associated with Psychopaths and their behavior. As these are personality clusters, some are usually represented more than others, but it is possible that an individual would score very high on all clusters, or possibly only high on one if they were somewhere in the psychopathic spectrum.
Each cluster has nine traits, and the thresholds are kept at levels that require a majority of points being pooled into each cluster.
Secondary represents that an individual not only represents most traits to a moderate degree, but has at least one that falls into the realm of pathological.
Primary represents that not only does an individual have most traits to a moderate degree, but that they have most to a pathological degree.
Thresholds are not meant to include or exclude the possibility that someone encompasses a personality cluster. For example, an individual with only three or four traits in a cluster to a pathological degree would probably be represented by the personality cluster, even if the other traits did not appear present or that noticeable. It is rare (but not impossible) than an individual would only have a few traits in a cluster at pathological levels, and not the rest, to at least achieve the Secondary status for that cluster.
I scored 22 psychopathic (low secondary), 27 antisocial (high secondary), 22 narcissistic (low secondary), 29 sadistic (low primary). I like doing these things to try to figure out wtf is wrong with me. I guess it's saying I'm a sadist with elevated antisocial behaviors and moderately elevated narcissism/psychopathy. So I guess I'm not a "true" psychopath but I'm definitely sadistic as fuck. Ur turn pls :)) -

These tests are largely inaccurate and nothing more than a joke. It's pathetic to watch you cling to the unrealistic notion you have a 'badass mental condition' rather than just accepting the fact you are an ugly, lazy, abject failure of a human being. -

you're an idiot and suffering from delusions of grandeur. killing someone or something is no more significant or meaningful than an act as simple as flicking a fleck of lint off a dress coat. -
