Poll: How many symptoms of Antisocial Personality Disorder do you have?

[hiratchi]

um does the relationship necesarily have to be a romantic one what if you just had a horrible first experience were you woke up out of your trance before you asked the girl out realized how you were behaving and gave up on all romantic relationships.

Why is there no option for 0? I'm fairly sure people exist with none of these issues

Yup, me.

Yay, I definitely don't have Antisocial Personality Disorder.

Same here. I have none of those problems listed, in fact I an exactly the opposite in each one in a positive way. Overly positive!

Me too! Except I do get frustrated sometimes. But it takes a fuck of a load of abuse to make me actually do anything violent, and I've only done it once.

5? Strange, I was expecting more...

A 0 option would be nice, certainly from that list of issues I would consider myself a 0.

 

[Extraintrovert]

Well, this is depressing. Not that it doesn't tell me anything I don't already know, but numbers always seem to be more visceral to me than verbal explanations. Oh well.

 

[SomeLameStuff]

Wow, I have SIX of those.

Seems like "Markedly prone to blame others or to offer plausible rationalizations for the behavior bringing the subject into conflict." is the only one I'm missing.

3. Irritability, blaming others, and the enduring relationship one (though that might be because I've moved around a lot, and since I'm reaching uni age, the problem will likely persist a good while longer).

2. Irritability and rationalizing everything.

 

[crudus]

One. "Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations."

Fuck social norms.

Are those really antisocial symptoms, or just being an asshole?

It is Antisocial. There is a difference.

Have I mentioned lately that I am very sloppy when I make polls on the Escapist?

Let me mention that - I'm very sloppy about making polls on the Escapist.

Edit - and clearly I have a rather narrow opinion of humanity, because it never occurred to me that any human would have zero of these symptoms.

So - it was a free poll, and - hey I can edit polls!? Edit - huh - it looks like I can edit the answers somewhat but I can't add a new answer for Zero. Sorry, I tried. Edit - no, wait, it just reloaded yet again, and it looks like the zero option got added this time.

So sometimes a free poll is worth more than you pay for it!

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Zero... but I do get frustrated easier than most people... I wouldn't say I get aggressive quickly, though, mostly because that would end in the crap getting beaten out of me.

 

[imnot]

none i think, i do hate most of the population of Earth though, does that count?

 

[DazBurger]

None! WOO!

I think incapacity to maintain any relationship, even a non-romantic relationship, would qualify.

Then again I am *not* a psychologist.

I yanked the seven symptoms from the World Health Organization. There are other definitions.

Ahh. I don't let people get to me, not directly. Now if I'm protecting someone else, I have to get tough!

I've never really had to protect anybody. I want to though, just to see what happens. Will I manage to talk them out of it? Will I get taken down? Or will I win, and gain huge respect and admiration?

Just like I really want somebody to try and hurt me. Like, there's this bitter little midget at school, who really hates me, and I want him to attack me, so I can stop this...feud by removing all hope of him being able to beat me...

The zero option showed up when I edited, but then I voted for myself and it doesn't show up in the results. Edit - and after several reloads, it shows up with one person who voted "zero." So I guess polls can be edited.

 

[Daipire]

Zero, although I might be biased and that might have clouded my judgement on the last one.

Probably...

 

[JEBWrench]

None whatsoever. Well, the irritability I have at the moment, but that's because my tooth hurts. The pliers are looking more and more like a solution.
