Did Jeremy Bamber exhibit psychopathic tendencies?

[G-Unit]

You don’t know who did it?  Then you must accept it’s possible Jeremy Bamber did it?  And if he did do it you still refuse to countenance this as the behaviour of a psychopath?  Really?

Why do people believe he's a psychopath when there's no evidence of it?

[Nicholas]

That is true and it ended with her murder. There isn't a scintilla of any evidence however which can in any way support Sheila being involved in the tragedy. She was a victim along with the four others.

There is loads  but none that you would be prepared to accept.

Which test are we using?

None that I have ever seen.

Then it would be a waste if time repeating it because you clearly have no wish to.

[Caroline]

Which test are we using?

We?

We?

'We' as in whomever is labelling psychopathy - what's the test?
Bob Hare's checklist?

I have a degree in psychology - I know that. No one is sticking their finger in the air, But for someone who purports to believe Bamber guilty, do you think it's likely that, he's simply a normal functioning individual who had an off day?

I'd say he fits all of these;

I don't know. I leave diagnoses to the experts, hence the question.
Who were the experts and what test did they use?
Or is everyone here simply using the convenient label they've become accustomed to?

Susan Atkins participated in at least 5 murders whilst a member of the Manson family, apparently killing Sharon Tate, plunging a knife in to her unborn 8 month old foetus, dipping her finger in and licking the blood. Was she a psychopath, despite never being diagnosed?

So now we look at the physiology of psychopathy and the relationship of the limbic system, particularly the amygdala to psychopathic behaviour. That's another test, albeit probably not particularly identifiable with 1980's technology.
The point being, the test of a psychopath is not straightforward.
