In 1970 Canadian criminal sociologist Robert Hare developed the Psychopathy Checklist. It is a list of 20 items that are considered characteristic of a psychopath. For each item a score of 0 is given for traits that don't match the individual, 1 for those that seem somewhat present, and 2 for those that reasonably match the individual. Thus, a final score out of 40 is tallied, and different countries have different cut-offs for psychopathy, usually 25 or 30. The test has historically done quite well, assigning Charles Manson 32/40, Paul Bernardo 35/40, and Ted Bundy 39/40. The full checklist, should you wish to be sure of your friends, can be found here.
