Are you a psychopath?

Never knowingly met a psychopath, people don't tend to wear badges displaying their mental state.
I am pretty sure there is a strong link between creativity and "mental illness", I use the quotation marks as it is not strictly an illness in this case and will explain why. It is less an illness and more an anomaly: creativity contains some abnormal behaviour and thought in order to not simply end up back at square one. That same abnormal behaviour when not applied in a creative setting can be seen as a mental illness: a break from the normal and not necessarily a break that is an improvement.
Thinking differently so that you move using all your limbs is creativity. Thinking differently so that you wear your pants on your head in case another waist grows out of your head, seems to already down the mental illness path.
So I have not met a psychopath, unless this is a cunning trap and my meandering reply shows me to be a psychopath!

yeah but then everything can be anything.."in a way" :3
personanongrata, there are specialists who determine it, ..any other way of finding out is most likely unreliable.
and Whale! I looked at some of Yayoi Kusama's art, it's very pure. I like it.
everyone else, interesting points. not sure if being crazy is the same as being a psychopath tho. and viaddax, I agree with most of what you said. you're welcome
