DeepSummary
Ben starts the episode by questioning whether he is a psychopath and expressing his belief that it's healthy to periodically self-evaluate one's personality and compatibility with society. He then takes an online psychopathy spectrum test, answering 27 questions that assess psychopathic traits like lack of empathy, impulsivity, and antisocial behavior.
As he goes through the questions, Ben shares his thoughts and personal experiences related to each statement, often injecting humor and acknowledging his tendency to ramble. He contemplates concepts like morality, success at others' expense, manipulating emotions, and the importance of love.
At the end of the test, Ben's results show that he is 5% more psychopathic than the average person, but still within the normal range. He expresses relief at not being labeled a psychopath, but also acknowledges that some of his answers may have been influenced by the presence of the audience.
