These are some of the key warning signs of psychotic tendencies. The idea is to think about someone in your experience [only choose yourself if you can be brutally honest with yourself].
Score 2 for each sign which is absolutely true about him/her and score 1 for some indication of it.
Any score over 15 is danger and any over 25 – get away, quickly!
1 Does he/she have problems sustaining stable relationships?
2 Does he/she frequently manipulate others to achieve selfish goals?
3 Is he/she cavalier about the truth to your face?
4 Would you regard him/her as irresponsible?
5 Has he/she no apparent sense of remorse, shame or guilt?
6 Is his/her charm superficial, and capable of being switched on and off?
7 Is he/she easily bored and demanding constant stimulation?
8 Are his/her displays of human emotion unconvincing?
9 Does he/she enjoy acting on reckless impulse?
10 Is he/she quick to blame others for mistakes?
11 As a teenager, did he/she resent authority or steal?
12 Does he/she have no qualms about sponging off others?
13 Is he/she quick to lose his/her temper?
14 Is he/she sexually promiscuous?
15 Does he/she have a belligerent manner?
16 Is he/she unrealistic about long-term aims?
17 Does he/she lack the ability to empathise?
18 Does he/she have an air of self-importance, regardless of his/her true standing in society?
Stands to reason, really, don't you think?
