You decide if Bush is a psychopathic liar

From http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/96/open_boss-quiz.html

The standard clinical test for psychopathy, Robert Hare's PCL-R, evaluates 20 personality traits overall, but a subset of eight traits defines what he calls the "corporate psychopath" -- the nonviolent person prone to the "selfish, callous, and remorseless use of others." Does your boss fit the profile? Here's our do-it-yourself quiz drawing on the test manual and Hare's book Without Conscience. (Disclaimer: If you're not a psychologist or psychiatrist, this will be a strictly amateur exercise.) We've used the pronoun "he," but research suggests psychologists have underestimated the psychopathic propensity of women.

For each question, score two points for "yes," one point for "somewhat" or "maybe," and zero points for "no."

(The link above has more detailed descriptions of the questions)

<1> Is he glib and superficially charming?
<2> Does he have a grandiose sense of self-worth?
<3> Is he a pathological liar?
<4> Is he a con artist or master manipulator?
<5> When he harms other people, does he feel a lack of remorse or guilt?
<6> Does he have a shallow affect?
<7> Is he callous and lacking in empathy?
<8> Does he fail to accept responsibility for his own actions?

1-4 | Be frustrated
