Haven't seen this in a while...
AS A PUBLIC SERVICE, we are presenting in this space the Abbreviated
Delaware Standard Psychological Test. The pressures, frustrations, and
emotional instabilities which drive men to commite wanton acts of
violence, even mass murder, are shrouded in the impenetrable mysteries
of the chemistry of the brain, but extensive research has made it
possible in many cases to identify individuals with a potential
psychopathic personality before their latent psychoses erupt into
episodes of uncrontrollable blood-lust. The ADSPT is by no means
perfect, but it can at least give a "storm-warning." We urge all
readers to take it, and then, if the easy-to-tabulate results indicate
to presence of possible mental disequilibrium, to seek qualified
professional help.
DIRECTIONS: Complete the following sentences with the word or phrase
that best suits your personality. Even if none of the alternatives seem

a) how much fun it would be to sit on it

To determine whether you have antisocial tendencies and suffer from the
"Involuntary Violence Syndrome" give yourself 5 points for each one of the
symbolic hostility answers listed below.
Questions 1-6: d) answers indicate hostility
Questions 7-13: b) answers indicate hostility
Questions 10,12,13: a) answers indicate hostility
50-65 points: You are a psychopath. Have a friend or loved one strap you to
a bed or chair IMMEDIATELY! Don't hurt them, they're only trying to help.
Put down that knife.
15-30 points: You are gay. The only psychopaths you have to worry about are
NAMBLA and the person who is about to knock on your door. Shhh... listen.
He'll be here any moment now.
35-45 points: You are a gay psychopath. Yes, the only things the
ADSPT can test for are homosexuality and psychopathy. It has been pointed
out to us that this may be a problem. We're working on it, okay?
0-10 points: Nobody likes a liar. Especially psychopaths. Your life
expectancy is less than one of Richard Gere's gerbils.
