I just took the test..just to see....and I checked off three of the questions......results said:
"You're empathetic, loyal and introspective. In other words there's no way you're a sociopath...but you can spot one pretty easily!"
I think they are really good questions....and ones we should ask about the people we let into or are already in our lives.....just because someone is a relative and/or they are friends that we love......doesn't mean that they are not sociopaths...I think we all need to wake up and question ourselves about the people in our lives.

Said I'm devastatingly charming but I use it mostly for evil. Many of those questions I felt bad checking the box =(

Another simple truth is that people really do like sweet lies over bitter truths any day of the week. Its the reason I chose my signature. Im a crappy candy maker. I am honest as the day is long, but I have no skill at all at sweetening it up in order to sell it.
And, for the record, I am tall, moderately above average looking, athletic, intelligent, etc. None of that helps me one little bit when I am pegged against a sociopath in terms of winning the group. Especially in situations where words not actions speak most loudly, like on the internet. In real life, I do much better. Because I actually WILL show up to help you move, or take you to the hospital in the middle of the night, or stand between you and the person trying to hit you. But on a board? None of that matters.
Its all about sweet, sweet lies, ego flattery, charm, and the gift of gab. Its a shame. But its why propaganda works so well. People want to be told what they want to believe and anyone who will do that has them.

I know for a fact I'm not the cheating type, but yes I have cheated,and not proud of it. I think you need to understand the reasons behind certain actions before making some grand judgement.
I agree that this is a good measuring stick to look at peoples character attributes,but keep in mind ,like the ol' saying." Because you have stolen once,it does not make you a thief" (depending I guess on what you have stolen)
