Youth Risk Assessment Template: Fill & Download for Free

*Consider, as I often mention, the PCL is not meant to actually identify psychopaths (depending upon how psychopathy is defined)… it is a risk-assessment tool used to estimate risk of violent recidivism as a function of a given level of “psychopathy” as derived through the items evaluated. I tend to call this “forensic” psychopathy. It is not necessarily the same thing as neurobiological “real” psychopathy, as it focuses far more on overt (particularly criminal) behaviour than it does upon neurological functioning/structures.—————————————————————————————————————Purely for shits n’ giggles. I’ve followed the template that I used on this question:Alex Umbreanu's answer to How accurately does the character Cathy Ames from "East of Eden" match a psychopathic phenotype?I have no idea what the heck I am doing. I’ve never been trained in this. Had a psychologist tell me that half points can be “awarded”, but now not so sure… seems to be that the scores are initially presented decimals (to one point?) and then rounded up at the end. As I am not comparing it to any known norms… this is neither PCL-R or -R2.I might not explain everything as clearly as I otherwise would… as I don’t want to disclose any identifying information.This shows some of the diagnonsense that has already been written about me, including my results from a forensic administration of the PCL-R2 (briefly, I scored 25/40, with 98.9th percentile factor 1 and 51st percentile factor 2. I don’t know which items received which scores though.). I will try to guess how they scored me, but also score myself… both conservatively and with broader definitions (see the Cathy Ames report).This is purely speculative and is not at all meant to be used in any court setting or as “evidence” against me in any way. It could purely be the result of my apparent “lack of insight”. It is not meant to somehow “glorify” anything… as if any of the following represents a “glowing review”. -_- Mentions of past misdeeds are as meagre as I can make them, as I don’t want to be sensationalistic… only to present bare facts. Please do not see this as somehow “inspirational” or otherwise “enviable”; it is not. Much of what is detailed here, regarding specific behaviour relates to events and patterns that are several years past, and which I do not engage in anymore (specific crimes) and/or try to avoid (interpersonal shittiness).A good deal of this is historical, please don’t assume that I am speaking of myself as I am now.—————————————————————————————————————FULL untrained PCL on Yours Truly (AKA Alex Umbreanu, Alex Legere, et al.)F1.1:1/Glibness and/or Superficial Charm: Consistently described as “verbally facile”, “articulate”, “having a way with words”, “engaging” etc. by clinicians (et al.). Very disarming in person, esp. when compared with apparent presentation found in existing reports. Likeable/personable on a superficial/acquaintance/temporary basis (e. g. for manipulation, or anything else really). Described as “magnetic”; attracted “friends” and followers throughout life easily, but seldom able to maintain the relationships long-term. Very good first impressions (e. g. has been hired “on the spot” as a result of them). Have been able to talk my way out of trouble, and to talk others into it (e. g. has historically manipulated others into engaging in serious criminal activity). Puts people at ease and gains confidences quickly (e. g. others confide and share secrets, feel comfortable and safe etc.). Concealed crimes with this demeanor. Friendly, outgoing, bold, pleasant, polite, entertaining, etc. 2/2F1.1:2/Grandiose Sense of Self-Worth: Narcissistic PD (and related Personality Disorder NOS) diagnosis, DSM IV-TR version, not DSM V. Arrogant. Entitled in attitude, demeanor, behaviour, and statements. Self-concerned, self-assured, self-centred etc. Opinionated, condescending. Very high opinion of self and entitlement often concealed with passive aggressive statements and superficial presentation (i. e. superficially may appear to have low self-appraisal). Historically saw self as “predator”, superior for being a “psychopath”, bragged about it, etc. Aura of superiority; expectation of preferential and deferential treatment. [Mind you, I can moderate this stuff, lol] 2/2F2.3:3/Need for Stimulation/Proneness to Boredom: Many crimes and breaches a result (at least, in part) of boredom, curiosity, and plain intolerance of status quo. Took stupid risks, overall. Lack of caution regarding personal safety and freedom. Unable to tolerate boredom throughout school (particularly elementary): ignored instruction, did own thing, got into trouble at times (some of this all likely related to high IQ, not just potential “psychopathy”). Lack of concern regarding consequences: learning from mistakes, “fear” conditioning etc. Subjective “fearlessness”. Skewed reaction to danger and threats when compared with “neurotypical”, physiologically. Autonomic (sympathetic) under-arousal overall. Jail etc. not truly a “punishment”, instead, regarded as a “new experience” or an “experiment”. Hesitant to commit to the full 2/2 because I am not a restless “adrenaline junkie”/”daredevil”/thrill-seeker. 1.5 to 2/2F1.1:4/Pathological Lying: Obfuscation. Described as “sneaky” and “cunning”. Concealed crimes for years with no internal dissonance, concern, or any external indication. Complex web of aliases, backstories, lies etc. “Catfish” online, historically. Misrepresented self/actions/etc. through minimizing/exaggerating (fabrication/denial) to craft a given image/persona (which was shallow and instrumental). Full of explanations and excuses. Contradicts self relatively often. No loyalty to the “truth” when self-interest is at stake. Insincere. Hesitant to commit to the full 2/2 because I am not a “pathological” or “compulsive” liar. 1.5 to 2/2.F1.1:5/Conning/Manipulative: Manipulated others into committing/abetting/ignoring serious and/or violent crimes( and concealing such), and/or taking blame for them (e. g. historical [i. e. not current!] attempted murders, fires, torture/killing of non-human animals, stealing, etc.). Described by clinicians (et al.) as “very astute” at manipulating the behaviours and perceptions of others (who would “quickly feel that I was their friend”). Schemer; thinks several steps ahead (when not being impulsive… lol). Highly developed cognitive empathy. Absolutely zero concern for victims. Historically, had made people quit jobs and/or abandon responsibilities through manipulation (including use of “abilities” in item 1, gaslighting, solipsistic arguments etc.). I have chosen 2/2, but I considered 1.5/2 because I have never tried to “con” anyone for any financial etc. reason. I have no interest in doing so. 2/2F1.2:6/Lack of Remorse/Guilt: Complete lack of remorse throughout life. No concern for victims or impact on victims. Considered potential for danger as a bit of a “joke”. Doesn’t take self or crimes seriously. Shameless. Absence of sincere social emotionality in general. Will blame victims and situations etc. Past failures to change despite “remorse”. Lack of moral inhibition (i. e. vulgar definition of “conscience”). 2/2F1.2:7/Shallow Affect: Two “flavours”: (1) Hypercompartmentalization ability (e. g. “empathy switch”). Everything “felt” thus is, by definition, shallow. Can turn it off whenever, and turn it on… to a degree. (2) Low affective empathy and low autonomic (sympathetic) arousal. Taught to “over-emote” as a way to compensate, during early elementary school years by counselor. Otherwise, can appear “cold “(as opposed to “dramatic”). Limited emotionality (particularly “social” emotions) and emotional contagion. Subjective “fearlessness”, also noticeably calm under pressure/stress/etc. compared to “neurotypical” (neurological root). Shallow, superficially felt emotions, when not able to enter a hypercompartmentalized state. 2/2F1.2:8/Callousness/Lack of (Affective) Empathy: Sadist (various diagnoses thereof, including erotophonophilic sadism, sexual sadism etc.). Profound lack of affective empathy. Superficially “aided” in investigations into own crimes. Very self-concerned/centered and selfish. Deeply callous regarding the pain and distress of others throughout life, and has (at times) purposefully exacerbated it via instrumental manipulative tactics or overt actions of varying severity. All about own interests, curiosity, entertainment, power, thrill etc. Cynical (for some reason that was listed on the cheat sheet as being relevant?). Historically exploits friends, family, employer etc. 2/2F2.3:9/Parasitic Lifestyle: Lazy and unambitious. Will always “let” others “do”, as opposed to spending own resources/effort. No drive to actively provide for self or to “stand on own two feet”. Ambivalent. Currently on government benefits (although, I do have a job now too), and that was my main source of income for almost 10 years now (not entirely my fault though). Hesitant to go over 1 because I am not opposed to working or providing for myself, and I have never had any problems doing so otherwise. I have never been an itinerant “mooch”, and nor have I ever criminally exploited others for financial gain. 0.5 to 1/2.F2.4:10/Poor Behavioural Control: No temper/has never lost temper (not counting as a toddler… I assume I must have back then?). Actually used to complain that I had “too much self control” (apparently selective self control, lol). Defensive, and can become irritable and reactive (possibly more of a current context [past… nearly 10 years] thing though, than a deeper trait). Will over-emote (habit, occasionally manipulative though). Historical: 0 to 0.5/2. Current context?: 0.5 to 1/2.F0:11/Promiscuous Sexual Behavour: Narrow: Never dated, never had sex. Likely more the result of gender identity issues, as opposed to anything else. Broad (“Impersonal Sexual Behaviour”): When disconnected from physical body (e. g. online), historically was promiscuous. Very perverse. Shameless. Impersonal/casual/manipulative “sexuality”. No loyalty or commitment. Can’t justify scoring over 1.5 (even that might be too high), without physical involvement. Narrow: 0/2. Broad: 1 to 1.5/2.F2.4:12/Early Behavioural Problems: Severe (e. g. torture/killing non-human animals since early childhood [i. e. 5 and under]). ADD/ADHD “diagnosis” at 7… validity uncertain. However, consistently described as “hyperactive”, “disinhibited”, and “fearless” as a kid. Suspended from school for setting fires. Conduct disorder diagnosis in teens (DSM IV-TR). Stealing, lying. Serious violent offences against people beginning at age 12 (only ever prosecuted once). Attempts to “poison” family several times, beginning under age 5 (roughly 5–9?). Problems at school noted as early as grade 1; for 3 years received intervention regarding empathy, socializing properly, “fitting in” etc. Other psych interventions in childhood/youth for similar reasons. 2/2.F2.3:13/Lack of Realistic Long-Term Goals: Relatively poor goal setting and self-discipline (or, certainly, very selective). Lack of direction and motivation (could be a current circumstances thing?). Starts “projects” and seldom finishes them. Commitment issues regarding goals and deadlines. “Done little in life” (was on cheat sheet?… in my opinion, others might say I’ve done a lot though). Scrambling for direction, hard to settle. Can be indecisive (again, these are probably more resultant from “current” stuff). Historically set goals that took many years to complete, no problem. Historical: 0.5 to 1/2. Current: 1–1.5/2.F2.3:14/Impulsivity: Some of the crimes, particularly those that I’ve been charged/convicted for, were impulsive. Can be randomly impulsive at times, including for serious things. 1/2.F2.3:15/Irresponsibility: No loyalty (e. g. has exploited/stolen from family, friends, employers etc. This was on the “cheat sheet”.). Word not necessarily bond. Not responsible with own or others safety. Hesitant to go over 1 because I otherwise am punctual, pay bills, care for myself etc. 0.5 to 1/2.F1.2:16/Failure to Accept Responsibility: Constant excuses, rationalizations, blame, minimize, defensiveness etc. Cognitively appreciates “responsibility” (i. e. it’s not like I don’t understand cause and effect). Maybe better phrased as: “Failure to accept responsibility and consequences”. Feels it is unfair, complains, fights it etc. 2/2.F0:17/Many Short-Term Marital Relationships: Narrow: Never been married. Broad (“Relational Instability”): Family estrangement. No long-term friends (can maintain a couple of years, at most). Only very shallow relationships (in person). “Deeper” relationships (e. g. those which are “more involved”, in person) marked by conflict. Exploitative and selfish in relationships. Shallow friendships. Quick “in and out” with people. Transactional. Makes friends easily, but can’t/won’t maintain before getting bored of them, driving them away, or dropping off myself. Narrow: 0/2. Broad: 2/2.F2.4:18/Juvenile Delinquency: Arrest in mid-teens for serious violent offence (counting only formal contacts, not everything you’ve done). 2/2.F2.4:19/Revocation of Conditional Release: Narrow: Various breach charges. Broad (“Institutional Maladjustment”): Breaches, as above. Serious violent offence while already institutionalized. Engaged in serious crimes while on probation as a youth. Can’t go over 1.5 because no serious arrest while on conditional release, nor any “escape” attempts. Narrow: 1/2. Broad: 1.5/2.F2.4:20/Criminal Versatility: Charges and convictions only (variety, not severity) Violent crimes against both humans and non-human animals. Weapons/threats. Breaches. Can’t go over 1, “cheat sheet” says 4–5 results in 1/2. 6 or more types gives 2/2. 1/2. Well… could be 2/2 then. So. 1 to 2/2.…Most narrow definitions:Considering current circumstances (i. e. past +/- 10 years)Factor 1: 1. Interpersonal 7.5 to 8/8 | 2. Affective 8/8 | Total:15.5 to 16/16Factor 2: 3.
