Everyone has bias's and this test is open to being influence by them. Someone asked how you would define 'glibness' - which is a valid question and clearly my view of what was/is glib, will be different from someone else's.


Slick, smooth talking, insincere and shallow. Howzat?

Yes, ha, ha! But I meant that I may think someone is being glib, someone else may not and vice versa.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Glib - 1.
readily fluent, often thoughtlessly, superficially, or insincerely so:
a glib talker; glib answers.

Or, knows the words but not the music - their actions don't match their words.

People forget that someone diagnosed with psychopathic tendencies in their early life might very well test negative for them in mid or later life, someting which is referred to as burn-out.  What Jeremy Bamber has now become could very well be completely different to what he was thirty years ago.

Maybe he's not a psychopath, maybe he's just a Greedy, Evil, Murderous, lying Bastard?

Has he ever been tested to see if he is a Greedy, Evil, Murderous, lying Bastard?  :-\

There are a lot of those about ,though I'd change murder to manslaughter involving victims of this trait.

They also learn how to play 'the game' better.

and duping others gives their lives meaning (in their minds).

"Psychopaths are always witty and articulate and just about at all times “glib.” They can be “amusing and entertaining conversationalists, ready with a easy and clever comeback, and can tell unlikely on the other hand convincing stories…

They can be extremely powerful in presenting themselves nicely and are generally very likeable and charming. To some people, then again, they appear too slick and smooth, too of course insincere and superficial. Astute observers always uncover the impression that psychopaths are play-acting, mechanically “reading their lines.”
