Educational use only. Built on the Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale, a research instrument. Not a diagnosis. Only a licensed clinician with a full history can diagnose Antisocial Personality Disorder. Full disclaimer at the bottom of the page.
Calibrated by the LSRP. Written by a real one.
Twenty-six items, two subscales, scored against published research norms. Calibrated by the field. Written by the rare author who has the diagnosis the test is built to detect.
Free. Full subscale scores returned. No paywall on the read.
Psychopathy is not one trait. The LSRP separates the cold core from the impulsive shell because, in practice, they come apart. The configuration of the two is the diagnostic fact, not the total score.
Callousness, manipulativeness, lack of remorse, the empathic deficit. The construct most people picture when they hear the word.
Impulsivity, frustration intolerance, antisocial reactivity, the regulation gap. Often the part that produces real-world consequences.
The four configurations of the two subscales (high/low × high/low) read as four very different patterns in real life. Your result page returns both subscale percentiles and the combined quadrant interpretation.

Most online sociopath tests are written by anonymous SEO operators or by clinical-content sites that have to keep a sterile distance from the construct they’re describing. This one is written by the rare author who has the diagnosis the test is built to detect, working from the published instrument the academic literature uses.
The items track the LSRP source paper closely with light wording adjustments for clarity. The scoring follows Levenson 1995 exactly. The two-subscale split is the field’s, not mine. What you get from me, on top of the instrument, is the result-page interpretation, what the configuration looks like in real life, who actually ends up in each quadrant, and what to do with the score if anything.
Source instrument: Levenson, Kiehl, & Fitzpatrick (1995), “Assessing psychopathic attributes in a noninstitutionalized population.” Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 68(1), 151-158.
Each item is a first-person statement (e.g. 'Looking out for myself is my top priority'). You agree or disagree on a four-point scale. Seven items are reverse-keyed; you do not need to identify them, the scoring handles it.
Sixteen items load on Primary (cold core), ten load on Secondary (impulsive shell). Raw scores are converted to percentiles against the Levenson 1995 college-sample norms (n=487).
The combined read of the two subscales places you in one of four configurations: Functional Self, the Calculator, the Hot Wire, or the Full Pattern. Your result page returns the configuration plus what to do with it.
Profiles you across six Cluster B types, Psychopathic, Sociopathic, Narcissistic, Borderline, Histrionic, Neurotypical. Most users take both. The Dark Mirror is the wide map; the Sociopath Test is the calibrated read on the specific axis the wide map flagged.
For adult daughters of (likely) narcissistic mothers. Six daughter profiles plus a mother-signal band. Different question; different answer.
70,000-word manual. The chapters on the predator's interior were written by someone who configured similarly to the Full Pattern result, and they will read as either familiar or accusatory depending on where in the pattern you currently are.
$29/month. Higher concentration of people with the Calculator and Full Pattern configurations than the general population, by deliberate design. The room is not safer because it's gentler. It's safer because it's read.
Educational and reflective use only. The LSRP is a research instrument, not a diagnostic one. Only a licensed clinician with a full history can diagnose Antisocial Personality Disorder or any other personality disorder. If you are in active distress, contact a licensed therapist or, if there is risk to yourself or others, a crisis line.
