Psychopathic Personality Inventory

The Psychopathic Personality Inventory (PPI) is a psychological assessment tool used to measure traits associated with psychopathy in individuals. It evaluates personality characteristics such as lack of empathy, impulsivity, superficial charm, and emotional detachment. Unlike clinical diagnoses of psychopathy, the PPI provides a self-report measure that helps researchers and clinicians understand these traits in non-criminal populations. It consists of questions that assess various dimensions of psychopathic tendencies, aiding in research, risk assessment, and understanding personality profiles without assuming criminal behavior.
