An informational screener for antisocial personality traits.
This is a self-report screener, not a diagnosis.
Results reflect how you rated your own experiences and are for informational and self-reflection purposes only. They are not a substitute for evaluation by a licensed psychologist, psychiatrist, or other qualified healthcare provider. If any of this resonates with you, consider talking to a professional — only a clinical evaluation can provide an actual diagnosis. If you're in crisis or need immediate support, contact a local emergency number or a crisis line such as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US).
Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a longstanding pattern of disregard for other people's rights, alongside traits like deceitfulness, impulsivity, and a limited sense of remorse after causing harm. It's diagnosed only in adults, and typically has roots in patterns visible before age 15.
This free self-assessment is an informational screener that looks at four commonly discussed traits: disregard for others, deceitfulness/manipulation, impulsivity/irresponsibility, and lack of remorse. It takes about 4–5 minutes.
Many of these traits — bending the truth occasionally, acting impulsively, prioritizing your own interests — are common human behaviors that exist on a spectrum and don't indicate a disorder on their own. A genuine diagnosis requires a persistent, pervasive pattern across many areas of life, assessed by a qualified clinician — never a short quiz.
You'll rate 20 statements from Disagree to Agree across four areas: disregard for others' rights and feelings, deceitfulness and manipulation, impulsivity and irresponsibility, and lack of remorse.
Each area's score is the average of your answers to its questions, rescaled to 0–100. Several items are reverse-worded on purpose to reduce simple agreement bias.

This screener cannot diagnose ASPD or any personality disorder. A real diagnosis requires a comprehensive clinical evaluation by a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist, typically including a detailed history — self-report alone is not considered sufficient, partly because self-awareness of these exact traits varies a lot from person to person.
These traits, individually, are common in the general population and often reflect temperament, upbringing, or a specific season of life rather than a disorder. A high score here is a prompt for reflection or a professional conversation, not a label.
This tool is written in neutral, non-judgmental language on purpose. It is meant to support honest self-reflection, not to diagnose, shame, or characterize anyone.
No. This is an informational self-report screener only. Personality disorder diagnoses require a comprehensive clinical evaluation by a licensed mental health professional and cannot be made from a short quiz.
"Psychopathy" and "sociopathy" are popular terms, not official clinical diagnoses. ASPD is the clinical diagnosis in the DSM-5 that captures related traits, and psychopathy is sometimes discussed as a more severe or specific variant within research contexts, but the terms are used inconsistently outside clinical settings.
Disregard for others' rights and feelings, deceitfulness/manipulation, impulsivity/irresponsibility, and a limited sense of remorse after causing harm — the trait clusters most commonly associated with ASPD in clinical descriptions.
No single trait or quiz score defines who you are. If this result concerns you, or if these patterns have caused real problems in your relationships or life, talking to a licensed therapist is a constructive, judgment-free next step — not a verdict.
No. You can take the test and see your results without signing in. An account is only needed if you'd like to save your result or come back and retake it later.
