Dr. Dorothy McCoy, a licensed professional counselor and psychotherapist, has developed online quizzes to help you figure out if you are dating a psychopath or narcissist. The behaviors identified by the quizzes will certainly look familiar to Lovefraud readers.

Dear Changed ~ I read somewhere here that a person who is a psychopath is ALSO narcissist. On the other hand, a person who is narcissist, is NOT necessarily a psychopath.
So, to answer your question: If they test as both, they ARE both. My advice: keep as much distance between yourself and this person as possible.

This woman “Dr. Dorthy” missed her real calling— she should have called herself “THE REAL MC COY” because her tests were pretty doggone good I thought!
While there were a couple of questions I had some problems with as the answer wasn’t quite “yes” or quite “no” over all it still showed that the person I was answering about was a TOXIC person though he might not have been Ted Bundy.
Interesting site. And some good insight for those that are “wondering” is the person I’ve been involved with TOXIC?

LL, too funny!! Oxy, I agree.

From the Psychopath test:
That’s very interesting!—and worth highlighting. I don’t recall hearing anyone list this symptom before. But it IS very much what we’d expect to find from a psychopath. Has anyone noticed this symptom?

Redwald ~ YES. Just not quite worded the same. How about the classic: “smile that doesn’t quite reach the eyes”? I think that fits this question pretty well. JMHO

Red and Hope,
Yea, I agree—the discord is there between words said and expressions–but sometimes with some of them it can be VERY subtle. Other times it can be pretty blatant and obvious to most folks.
Sometimes it IS the “smile” that is only the lips, not the eyes or the rest of the face, but it can be many different pieces of the body language vs the words.
What is so ODD to me though is that one second they can be looking at you with the EYES OF SATAN and the WORDS of satan and the BINGO do a 180 degree turn and act like SATAN was never there. DUH!
You are left wondering WTF? Did I see what I thought I saw?
I call it the “bucket of cold water in the face” feeling. LOL
