"The Hare Psychopathy Checklist"

Antisocial personality disorder is most commonly assessed with the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, which is a rating scale with 20 items, grouped under the 3 headings (i.e., "dimensions") listed below:

Interpersonal dimension

• Glibness/superficial charm
• Grandiose sense of self-worth
• Pathological lying
• Conning/manipulative
• Lack of remorse or guilt
• Shallow affect (i.e., shows little emotion)
• Callous/lack of empathy
• Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

Affective dimension

• Need for stimulation/-proneness to boredom
• Parasitic lifestyle
• Poor behavioral controls
• Early behavioral problems
• Lack of realistic, long-term goals
• Impulsivity
• Irresponsibility
• Juvenile delinquency
• Revocation of conditional release

Behavioral dimension

• Promiscuous sexual behavior
• Many short-term marital relationships
• Criminal versatility

 

HOW TO TAKE THE TEST:

Score yourself on each of the above items... 0 if the trait is absent, 1 if it is possibly or partially present, and 2 if it is present. Add up the scores from all items, and you should have a number between 0 and 40.  This score purports to reflect the degree to which one resembles the prototypical psychopath. In a clinical setting, a score higher than 30 supports a diagnosis of psychopathy.

Studies of prison populations have reported average scores of around 22. 
"Normal" populations show an average score of around 5.
