The Sunday Times bestseller - now with a new introduction and part of the Picador Collection 'The belly laughs come thick and fast' - The Observer _____ What if society wasn't fundamentally rational, but was motivated by insanity? This thought sets Jon Ronson on an utterly compelling adventure into the world of madness. Along the way, Jon meets psychopaths, those whose lives have been touched by madness and those whose job it is to diagnose it, including the influential psychologist who developed the Psychopath Test, from whom Jon learns the art of psychopath-spotting. A skill which seemingly reveals that madness could indeed be at the heart of everything . . . Combining Jon's trademark humour, charm and investigative incision, The Psychopath Test is both entertaining and honest, unearthing dangerous truths and asking serious questions about how we define normality in a world where we are increasingly judged by our maddest edges.

Typical Jon Ronson funny
If you liked his previous work then you'll like this.
An insightful look into the world of psychiatry and psychoanalysis. You'll enjoy this.
This is an average read. It is good only in parts. Author should have included more interesting test cases. Stories were too lengthy and were not completely engaging. Not upto expectations.
