If you find yourself hurting animals or murdering people, it’s pretty clear you are probably a psychopath, but if you’re just not sure if you have some evil lurking inside of you, there is a simple test that might show if you do. In a video, a TikTok user explained the test, but first made sure to note that she is not a medical professional and that the test is not an actual diagnosis, so no need to buy a straitjacket on eBay.
In the clip, @Sophia.Boi asks viewers to close their eyes and imagine themselves in a dark, eerie forest. She says that in those creepy woods, sounds surround you and you suddenly hear and feel breathing coming from behind you. You turn around and what do you see?
IF you’ve always wondered if you or your family harbour psychopathic tendencies, here’s a simple five minute test which could give you an idea.
A woman has shared the one question to ask, which has six answers, and it should reveal a lot about your personality.

TikToker Sophia shared a video, saying: “Did you know there’s a question out there that can reveal if you have psychopathic tendencies?”
In the video, which has been viewed more than three million times, she starts by telling people to imagine themselves in nature.
She says: “I want you to close your eyes and imagine yourself walking through a dark and eerie forest.”
She gives people ‘a minute’ to picture themselves in the woodland setting.
Sophia continues: “Now your heart is pounding and you hear sounds all around you.
“Suddenly you hear and feel breathing behind you and your whirl around in terror.
What do you see in the forest?
- A wild animal
- A pale person of the opposite sex
- A shadowy figure
- A dog
- Nothing
- A giant bug
“Now what do you see?”
She gives a list of six options, including a wild animal, a dog, a giant bug, nothing, a shadowy figure, or a ‘pale person’ of the opposite sex.
While you might think something ominous like a shadowy figure or a giant bug could indicate psychopathic tendencies, it’s in fact a dog.
Sophia explained: “So the actual correct answer to this would be ‘dog’.
“For some reason people who do possess psychopathic tendencies often say dog.

“The dog answer could be indicative of a masking behaviour. Dogs are fluffy and non-threatening.
“And maybe this is the psychopath trying to prompt in the mind of the interviewer this manipulative self-serving answer.”
While Sophia admits she’s not a ‘medical professional’ and the test isn’t a formal diagnosis, it seems there’s consensus around the dog theory.
Jon Ronson, author of The Psychopath Test, explained one of the ‘characteristics of psychopaths’ is their love of dogs.
He explained they gravitate toward dogs because they’re “obedient and easy to manipulate.”
Jon chatted with numerous psychopaths who would express no emotion when a person died, but were sad to hear about a dog’s death.

“They get really upset when their dogs die because dogs offer unconditional love,” he explained.
Numerous people commented on the clips admitting they saw a dog, while a few thought they pictured a werewolf.
One person commented: “I saw a dog. A black dog probably thought of Sirius Black.”
Someone else wrote: “No I want a dog because they are nice and cuddly.”
While a third explained: “Another explanation with the masking is that the dog represents themself: they want others to see them as ‘good and fluffy’ when they are not. [sic].”

Woman gets ‘nightmare’ ulcers after couple test their love by chaining themselves together for three months
TikTok user @Sophia.Boi shared a video outlining ‘a test for psychopathy’ which challenges people to think through an imaginary scenario and reveal what they saw at the end
Woman shares simple test that might be able to identify if you are a psychopath
Ever wondered if one of your nearest and dearest may secretly be hiding psychopathic tendencies?
Well now you might be able to put it to the test, after a woman’s video went viral in which she poses a simple question and claims that the answer can be very telling.
TikTok user @Sophia.Boi shared a clip, which has since been viewed more than 3.5 million times, issuing a disclaimer at the start that she is not a professional and the test is not a diagnosis, so maybe don’t get to carried away (or terrified) by results.
The test begins with an imaginary scenario, asking you to close your eyes and think about walking through a creepy forest as your heart pounds and you hear sounds surrounding you.

She says you should imagine that “suddenly you feel breathing behind you and you whirl around in terror” to see what it is.
And the test all comes down to what you saw. Sophia gives possible answers including a wild animal, a pale person of the opposite sex, a shadowy figure, a dog, a giant bug, or simply nothing at all.
People flooded the comments to share their own results, ranging from a horrifying figure to a clown – but it turns out you only need to be really worried if you saw a dog.
In a follow up video, Sophia explains: “It says here that for some reason people who do possess psychopathic tendencies often say dog.
“So psychologists don’t know the real reason why so many psychopaths say dog, but here’s one. ‘The dog answer could be indicative of a masking behaviour, dogs are fluffy and non-threatening.
“‘Maybe this is a psychopath trying to prompt in the mind of the interviewer this manipulative, self-serving answer, that they see the interview as a passive object to be manipulated’.”
Another who was familiar with the test added in the comments: “The answer is dog because most people turn around to their fears, whereas a person who sees a dog is seeing something they can control.”
