The PsychoInventory^tm Scales

There are seven scales produced by this inventory, including Violence, Delusion, Psychoticism, Anti-Social, Normality, Addiction, and Obsessive Scales. The higher the score (for each scale), the greater the tendency to exhibit the characteristic. The final composite score given is calculated utilizing a weighted formula incorporating the seven scales. From this score, it is determined whether one is a psycho or not. A brief description of what each scale attempts to measure follows.
• The Violence scale investigates the propensity toward aggressive behavior. This behavior may manifest itself outwardly, or it my remain in remission until a suitable stressor prompts it to spring forth like an out-of-control volcano.
• The Addiction scale measures the potential for addictive behaviors, including the use of controlled substances.
• The Anti-Social scale reviews the inclination toward substandard behavior to others in society. The term can be used loosely interchanged with criminality.
• The Obsessive scale assesses the potential for obsessive behavior. This behavior is characterized as intrusive and persistent.
• The Psychoticism scale measures the level of general psychopathology through identification of warped thought patterns. Other psychotic symptoms such as audio and visual hallucinations, catatonia, etc. are not typified.
• The Delusion scale identifies delusional thought patterns that may interfere with normal functioning. These patterns are normally egocentric.
• The Normality scale is used as a controlled offset to correct the possible testing errors that could occur.

Further research will be necessary to investigate the predictability of the scales and the general validity of the instrument.
