### **Overview** The **Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R)** is a comprehensive psychological assessment tool used to evaluate the presence of psychopathic traits in individuals. It consists of 20 items that measure personality traits and behaviors commonly associated with psychopathy, such as glibness, grandiosity, lack of remorse, impulsivity, and antisocial tendencies. The PCL-R is considered the gold standard for diagnosing psychopathy. ### **Applications** The PCL-R is predominantly used in forensic settings to assess the risk of violent behavior, recidivism, and criminal tendencies in offenders. It is also used in clinical settings for the diagnosis and treatment planning of individuals with severe personality disorders. The assessment helps guide decisions regarding sentencing, parole, and therapeutic interventions. #Psychological-Test
