I'm not a psychopath, I'm a fully functioning sociopath.

Should you need proof, here you are:

 

 

With that out of the way, I'll simply say that I've only recently found the series, but really enjoy it more than anything I've seen on television.

The acting, production, plot, villains...everything is top notch.

 

Thanks for creating a place where we can all revel in it again and again.

Congratulations, Alfie! We all strive to be high-functioning -- you have succeeded. And welcome to Sherlock Forum!

 

Yeah, we kinda like the show too. Glad you found us, and hope you have fun here!

 

Oh -- if there's actually such a quiz, could you post a link to it? Thanks!

Welcome Alfie! Always glad to meet someone as hung up on Sherlock as the rest of us. Hope you come and share your high functioning often.

[Alfie Ol' Chap]

Thanks for the warm welcome.

 

There IS a test like that actually. Allow me.

While it's only 10 questions with a few glaringly obvious choices, some of the questions are worded to trip up those with romantic notions about ASPD.

 

I've entered into a few conversations and read even more. I like this place.

Thanks, Alfie! Interesting article (with a really nice photo of Benedict Cumberbatch and a brief video of Sherlock correcting Anderson's terminology), On the quiz (can't really call it a test, since it's just for fun), hubby (whose favorite character is Sherlock) came out a high-functioning sociopath, while I (the John Watson fan) turn out to be boringly normal. We were both trying to be as honest as possible, given some pretty weird choices to choose from, so I'd say it's not too far off -- but then again, apparently almost two thirds of the people who reported their results were in Sherlock's category!

Welcome Alfie Ol' Chap!

 

I like the user name, it makes us all sound somewhat Victorian when we mention you!

 

I'm glad you like it here, it's what we aim for!

Welcome Alfie Ol' Chap! I like the user name, it makes us all sound somewhat Victorian when we mention you!

What?!? Y'mean you folks don't still talk like that?

Welcome, Alfie! Thanks for the link to the quiz...to my utter non-amazement, I'm not a sociopath

 

Enjoy the great discussions with the rest of us Sherlock (and Watson!) obsessives.
