Scoring characters using the psychopath checklist / The WRITING ASSIGNMENT

The PSYCHOPATH CHECKLISTS

First, review your chart-- it is a modified psychopath checklist.  Each item is scored from zero (0) to two (2), meaning that the highest possible score is a 42.  The higher the score, the more likely your characters is a psychopath.  Typical scoring groups include:

• Low:  1-20
• Medium:  21 - 29
• High:  30+

Thirty points or above on the PCL-R is considered a psychopath.  

WRITING ASSIGNMENT

Using this tool, your film chart(s), and the flow charts provided, craft a claim regarding the possibility that the character you chose is a psychopath.

Once you have a clear claim statement, review your materials (articles AND evidence from your charts) and pull out the most relevant evidence that your character is or is not  a psychopath.

Then review the argument templates to help plan your essay.  Remember that you will need to also craft a clear counterclaim and rebuttal.

Once your plan is approved, you may begin drafting your essay.

Diagnosing a Psychopath

“The Hare PCL-R contains two parts, a semi-structured interview and a review of the subject's file records and history. During the evaluation, the clinician scores 20 items that measure central elements of the psychopathic character. The items cover the nature of the subject's interpersonal relationships; his or her affective or emotional involvement; responses to other people and to situations; evidence of social deviance; and lifestyle. The material thus covers two key aspects that help define the psychopath: selfish and unfeeling victimization of other people, and an unstable and antisocial lifestyle.”

Trait	EVIDENCE FROM THE FILM:
Glibness or superficial charm Glib: marked by ease and informality : nonchalant b : showing little forethought or preparation : offhand  ·       glib answers c : lacking depth and substance : superficial
Grandiose sense of self-worth Grandiose: characterized by affectation of grandeur or splendor or by absurd exaggeration-- ·      ·    They did not believe ·    his grandiose claims.
Need for constant stimulation
Pathological lying
Cunning and manipulative
Lack of remorse or guilt
Callous; lack of empathy
Poor behavior controls
Impulsivity
Irresponsibility
Failure to accept responsibility
Parasitic lifestyle Parasitic:  exploiting the hospitality of others: depending on another or others for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return
Shallow affect (superficial emotional responsiveness)
Promiscuity
Early behavior problems
Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
Juvenile delinquency
Many short-term marital relationships
Lack of realistic long-term goals
Revocation of conditional release
Criminal versatility

It's important to note that professionals that use the PCL-R are specially trained in how to assess each item on the checklist as well as how to score it and so an individual cannot, reliably, assess his or herself.

SCORING THE PSYCHOPATH CHECKLIST

E each item is scored from zero to two meaning that the highest score possible is a 40. The higher one scores, the more likely the person is a psychopath. Typical scoring groups include:

• Low – 1-20
• Medium – 21-29
• High – 30+

Thirty points or above on the PCL-R is considered a psychopath. People with no criminal background tend to score around a five and criminals who are not psychopaths tend to score around a 22.
