Hare Psychopathy Inventory

The Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) is a psychological tool used by clinicians to assess the presence of psychopathic traits in individuals. It consists of a series of statements about behaviors and personality traits, such as lacking empathy, being manipulative, or impulsive. The evaluator scores how well each item applies to the person, resulting in a numerical score. Higher scores indicate a greater presence of psychopathic traits, which can help in understanding risks and making informed decisions about treatment or management. It is primarily used in forensic and clinical settings to assess psychopathy accurately.
